Lucky for Obama Protestants don't (aren't permitted to) think of themselves as an interest group anymore.

Diversity is not picking white people over black people. I have no idea if you are joking in defining it that way, or if you genuinely believe so, but the sooner you understand that it isnt picking minority over white, the better.

Also, the group this lady works for, seems to only consist of her and a couple of other people. They exist in name only, no functionality, and are irrelevant. To define her or her group as "Black women" as if she speaks for all 20+ Million of them, is asinine.

Working in the Obama Administration is Toxic to a career. It's why he can't fill so many open positions.
1. There is no Biden rule.

What you are referring to is a term that was made up 2 days ago. That term has its basis in a speech Biden gave in June and was specifically about a Justice retiring for political reasons so that a member of his party could appoint his successor, and Biden never said he wouldnt here out the nominee, contrary to the belief of those who wont go on Youtube and watch the entire speech.

Not only is the Biden Rule made up, but in the context of its own source material, it is wrong.


2. There are so many open positions because Republicans will not confirm the nominees, not because people dont want to work there, the fact that the nominees exist destroys the logic you tried to put forth.

Talking about racism!
And in the same breath, if someone did respond you would say the left is eating their own. Its a lose lose even though no one actually cares about this group.

In other news, the "Mormon's with Peanut Allergies Association" is upset as no Mormon with a Peanut Allergy has ever been on the Supreme Court. If 2016 is not their time, when is?
