Biden’s big announcement

"The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity.

that's fine for conservatives as long as you leave out Black because they think that's not possible ... as if Clarence Thomas was the best choice in his Day

Character? She adopted two children from Haiti, and is raising a kid with Downs, we all know what your side does to those kids. has nothing to do with her qualifications

Unlike Sotomayor, Barrett doesn't have a history of getting unanimously overturned by higher courts, nor has Barrettt ever said that judges of her race and gender make better judges (which is what Sotomayor once claimed). jim again do you do any research or are just a parrot Over her ten years on the Second Circuit, Sotomayor heard appeals in more than 3,000 cases and wrote about 380 opinions when she was in the majority.[13] The Supreme Court reviewed five of those, reversing three and affirming two[13]—not high numbers for an appellate judge of that many years[18] and a typical percentage of reversals.[113]

2 years On the Seventh Circuit, Barrett wrote 79 majority opinions

Barrett is a 48-year-old federal appeals court judge favored by social conservatives and the religious right.

But Jim wants us to think Trump picked her because she was the best for the Job

I'm not a naked hypocrite Paul, I have principles that you don't agree with, but I apply them to both sides.No you don't.
Where is your thread crying about Reagan and Trump announcing it is wrong for them to consider only woman?

You don't have prinicples bc you didn't start a thread about Trump's saying the same thing that Biden did. Instead you got your panties in a bunch bc you saw that the faux news is crying about what Biden said.

i said again and again and again, that’s it’s exactly as wrong when either side does it. then you act like i give the gop a free pass. don’t blame me for feeling foolish when i called you out for being as wrong as you could possibly be.

yes i’m the angry one. obviously. n. read your post again and tell
me how I’m angrier than you are?

you’re right i didn’t start a post when Trump did it. i’m so sorry. And the thread i started here, was a j-o-k-e. A harmless joke. and it broke your brain a little. because criticism of the left isnt allowed.

Politically, his is a smart move for Biden and the dems. But don’t tell
me it’s not discrimination.

It is no more discrimination that what Trump or Reagan did. There are multiple people who are qualified for the SC and blacks (and woman) are/were shut out for too long.

How many of Barrett's 79 majority opinions, were overturned by a higher court? That's a sincere question...

Sotomayor has repeatedly been overturned by the Supreme Court, when she was a lower justice. Once, she was overturned unanimously. That means everyone from Scalia to Ginsburg, and everyone in between, said she was wrong on the law. Which kind of means she wasn't great at being a lower court judge, doesn't it?.

Sotomayor also said that female hispanics make better judges than anyone else. That's what she said.

Oh, there were sleazy reasons why Trump picked Barrett. He knew a woman would drive the liberals bonkers and when they attacked her, it would show the world that they don't really care about women like they claim they do.

to be fair...it is perfectly within character for Brandon to be seen pandering to racial groups playing identity politics and succeeding in making a complete ass out of himself by sounding incredibly patronizing and often quite racist.....

well, as a lower court judge, kavanaugh had 13 opinions get reviewed by SCOTUS, they affirmed 12 and reversed 1.

Sotomayor had 5 opinions get reviewed and 2 got overturned, one unanimously.

What does that suggest, Pete?

Washington (CNN)Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a significant false claim on Friday about Covid-19's impact on children.

I bet Kavanaugh rolled his eyes when she said this

She also famously said this about judges of different gender and race...

"a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

She said that white men have inferior life experiences compared to female Latinas. Saying something that bigoted, would get you instantly banned from jury duty. But apparently it doesn't preclude you from being on the Supreme Court for life.

white male who hasn't lived that life

here's all the context you need wayne...

"Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor backed away from a now-famous quotation from one of her speeches, saying her comment about a “wise Latina” judge had fallen flat, and was “a bad idea.”

The statement was made in contrast to a familiar quote from former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who often said that she did not view herself as a female jurist. Instead, she said that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same result as judges."

you posted the same exact quote I did, with no additional context. None.

And i’m not sure how anyone can pretend that’s not textbook bigotry.

she said explicitly, that being hispanic and female allows one to acquire more wisdom than a white man can acquire. Because our experience is inferior.

I notice being a female latina ( and all the inherent wisdom contained therein) didn’t prevent her from making a fool of herself when she said there were many more kids hospitalized with covid than actually are.

Nor did all that wisdom prevent her from being unanimously overturned by SCOTUS when she was a lower judge.

When Ginsberg and Scalia and everyone in between says you were wrong in the law, that means you were really wrong. Doesn’t it?

She’s not bigoted! She just thinks female Latinas are more wise than white men. That’s not bigoted at all!

Yes if those 2 wise people had the same experience in life

That would be a true statement

Now it’s my job to make your case?

Again your just upset a brown person called out Bias

Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE . Tells me how easy it was or how I should have walked

The line was almost identical every time:

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion."

That sentence, or a similar one, has appeared in speeches Sotomayor delivered in 1994, 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2001. In that speech, she included the phrase "than a white male who hasn't lived that life" at the end, which sparked cries of racism from some Republicans.


Look at that what a shocker cries of racism from some Republicans

How that for context Jim and Scott

"Now it’s my job to make your case?"

Huh?

No. But if you say I took it out of context, you should provide the correct context. You didn't.

What bias did she call out? She said female Latinas have a superior life experience compared to us male gringos.

It's textbook bigotry.

The bias is hers.

"Basically saying Try walking in my shoes before YOU Aka WHITE DUDE . Tells me how easy it was or how I should have walked "

That's not within a million miles of what she said. She said her experience generates more wisdom that that of a white man.

You completely changed what she said, to make it more benign. I have no problem with what you said. But that's nowhere near what she said.

Sotomayor said female latinas are superior to white men. How did you hear, "don't judge me unless you've walked a mile in my shoes"?

She didn't say female latinas are different. She said they're better.

so you are admitting that she said it repeatedly but then backed away from it when she was a supreme court nominee and said it was “a bad idea”

That's worth noting, sure.

How many times was Barrett overturned, unanimously, on appeal?

How many times did Barrett say that her race and gender result in more wisdom than any other race or gender?
