How is this ok? I can understand the President having his own intentions for his own reasons…but he’s already announced it! Is this what America is supposed to be about?

Imagine if job applicants or College Admissions were handled in such manner.

It already is unconstitutional, as well as being against Federal law.

Biden announced that he would exclude 3/4 of all candidates for the SCOTUS seat, due solely to their skin color or gender.

If I were a hiring manager, and did that with 3/4 of the candidates for a job, rejecting them based solely on their skin color or gender, I'd wind up in jail instantly.

Why doesn't Joe wind up in jail?

So if someone brings a lawsuit, and the Supreme Court agrees to hear it, they can strike down Biden's pick? Sweet.

You know why... Because if you oppose democrat sanctioned racism, that makes you a racist. Makes sense? Of course not!

If you tell the world you are going to pick person for a position due to their gender and skin color, you are telling the world this person did not earn this.

Joe Biden is saying, Look at Me, see how good I am. Thoust behold, I have the Power, and you are beholden to Me as I shall take the Glory! And you that are Beholden to me, you shall eat the crumbs I shall mete out for youst.

I think it's pretty stupid, but folks will lap it up as the only scant chance at a feel-good they will get between now and the midterms.

It could really turn into a circus. Imagine if one or two get shot down in the vetting process? Joe will just keep finding more?

As long as you're a black gender-confused female you too could be eligible to be a Supreme Court justice.

All others need not apply.

This method of selection has worked out so well for Vice President.

It is Constitutional. Just like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh were.
