I believe Martha is right.

It is really a backhanded insult to the nominee, and does tell her that her race and gender are the most important facts about her. Nothing else matters nearly as much.

Make no mistake, Joe's selection is likely to be the most misguided, maligned and unqualified person ever nominated to the SCOTUS.

That it was forced out by the Biden administration prematurely- and that he is apparently quite upset. This is being reported by Shannon Bream on Fox News right now.

Oh, stuff and nonsense. They have always been political and it is naive to think anyone ever expected any different.

And he'll be sitting there, across the table from such an appointee, thinking it every day. Just like much of the country.

Joe again shows his racism. Don’t care about her qualifications, just black, select one…preferably with an apostrophe somewhere in the name.

You know, its amazing. I've read virtually everything Clarence Thomas has written over the past 10+ years, and whether I agreed with his opinion or not, never once did his skin tone or gender ever enter the equation. Justice Thomas IMO is an absolutely amazing person, one who is worthy of our respect for his accomplishments, not because of any other attribute. Shame all of that is lost on liberals.

Hey jhe888, I thought (maybe foolishly) that there were laws on the books making it 'illegal' to hire based on color, especially for government employment. Did I miss something over the past thirty years?
