So the only thing straight is that the New Scotus is a hard worker . As the years of long hours in govt prove.
So basically she got nominated because they discriminated against over 95% of the people who would have qualified for the position because of their race or gender and then acted like this is some major accomplishment or something?

I don't see the issue. A black woman her age probably had to knock down some doors in her career (read: in the past) as racism is still a thing no matter how much some people want to deny that fact.

And, yes, Biden wanted to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court (in 2022). I don't see where both of your statements cannot be true at the same time.

And the democrats would like government to reflect the makeup of the country, not just one group who has dominated historically. Some republicans want that too.
Do you have any undeniable proof at all that she faced any hurdles whatsoever? The fact of the matter is over 95% of the people who would have qualified for this position were discriminated against based on their race or gender and not even considered for this position. Also, the Supreme Court should not reflect the makeup of the country at all. These people should be the most educated, intelligent, and fair-minded people in the country regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. This woman is a token plain and simple and she will always be remembered as a token.

All her adult life, she has been promoted beyond her capability because of her race and gender. She'll most likely be the worst USSCJ in history.

And we know how much liberals loved Justice Clarence Thomas.

Enough to call him Uncle Tom. How sweet.

Other than that being easy on pedophiles thingie, yep.

I think this might actually backfire on the Democrats. Sure many black people vote Democrat, but a lot of them are also Conservative. There is no guarantee that she will be as progressive as her party would like.

It's possible that it could backfire but Biden violated EEO law and common decency by making race and gender a criteria for selection, I'm sure her extremist views are well vetted. I would LMAO if she actually tried to interpret the Constitution and thwart the Democrats efforts to kill the Constitution and all of our Rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
