And you are assuming the opposite. What selection committee ..Obama nominated them.
We don't know for sure do we ?
That article puts diversity over qualification so the reader comes to the conclusion that diversity is more important these days.
And this is the administration of "social justice" isn't it ?
When an article comes out about someone's qualifications, their sexual preference isn't mentioned is it ?
Here sexual preference IS the point of the article. How do you know all those "White men" are straight since articles don't state as much ?
Wrong on all counts.
"Sexual preference" is not the point of the article. Diversity is. The article also mentions gender and race. I guess you missed that.
You apparently aren't familiar with the process of selecting federal judges. You should do your research. Senators in the states where there are vacancies provide the president with names of potential nominees to the district courts and the courts of appeal. The nominees are vetted by the Justice Dep't and by the ABA Standing Committee on judicial nominees. It's a little more complex than that, but that's the process in a nutshell. So yes, we DO know for sure that the nominees are "qualified", at least from a standpoint of education, experience, and demeanor. The president can consider any other attribute that he sees fit.
I can guess about the conclusion YOU came to after reading the article, but I would suggest that you conclusion about diversity being "more important" than qualification is entirely without basis.
Diversity is what got him appointed in the first place. His "character" should have prevented him from even being on anyone's list for a judgeship.
Really ? I doubt you have any evidence that Hastings was unqualified, on character grounds, to be nominated to the federal bench. I'm sure that diversity played a role in his selection, but as indicated above, it's within the president's prerogative to consider factors other than education, experience, and demeanor.
An anecdote about one criminal doesn't tarnish an entire race of nominees, does it ? Is that what you're saying ?
I time anther new persient will appoint other judges .It will face the same ole delays that Bush faced also i appointments.Everythig that Obama does by decree will disappear lke under Bush.
Instead of looking to make a mark by diversifying, why the hell not pick the most qualified???!!! Instead of going by who best fits the job, he looks at gender/race/who they like to screw! Bunch of nonsense.
Promoting racism and sexism as a means to cure us (white people) of our collective racism and sexism. People will believe anything, and particularly if it feeds their own interests which is steeped in the very thing they claim to be victims of.
Let the war begin. It's been put off for too long. High time for a correction to take place.
