It’s so embarrassing having to admit I’m a citizen of the same country as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson or Ted Cruz. It really is.
The bar is set so low as far the Fox Entertainment Network … I feel the need to help out just a bit.
This won’t take long. I’ll make it brief.
In 1981, Ronald Reagan, the father of the red caps that these Trump people still wear said he would nominate a woman to the U.S. Supreme Court and did so with his nomination of Sandra Day O’ Connor.
Later in Reagan’s first term… he said he would nominate Antonin Scalia to the Supreme Court because it would be crossing a barrier of sorts placing an Italian American on the Court.
In Bush 41’s only presidential term he said publicly he would like to nominate an African American to the bench since the departure from the Court of Thurgood Marshall as the only previous black member on the Supreme Court.
As recently as 2016, Donald Trump, the original pussy grabber and confidante of Billy Bush, said he would like to nominate a conservative woman to the bench. Thus…the nomination of Amy Coney-Barrett to the Court. I feel almost certain that’s one woman he didn’t ask to go furniture store shopping with him during the throes of a lonely night.
So today when Joe Biden announced he was going to nominate an African American woman to the Court…I found the outrage from the Trump Usual Suspects a bit amusing.
To me…the Supreme Court should be a human montage of qualified judges regardless of race or gender. But at the same time you want the Court to reflect to the mixture of people in our country.
But don’t put all the blame on Joe Biden and James Clyburn for this because all they did was follow the precedents of Reagan, Bush 41, and Donald Trump who all made previous Affirmative Action nominations to the Supreme Court.
If you want to tell me Sandar Day O’Conner, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney-Barrett were the most qualified jurists then you need to spend some time reading their judicial resumes.
If I have this wrong, then please explain to me how I have it wrong. I’m a Libra and always fair at the end of the day.
I’d love to hear your legal nuance on why one is something while the other isn’t.
You never heard a word from me on my blog previously pertaining to Trump’s three supreme court nominations and you’re really not hearing one now. You know why? Because when a party wins a presidential election with it come the fruits of nominating Supreme Court justices.
So I was little stunned today hearing the outrage from the right voicing their concerns to qualified judges being appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in relation to race and gender.
I’m additionally embarrassed for Nikki Haley. I will no longer take Nikki Haley seriously as someone who should someday be POTUS.
How sad. Her reference to Tim Scott was laughable at best.
I guess these people think Joe Biden and James Clyburn should feel compelled to nominate Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin to the Court.
