Biden, being a racist, has pledged to appoint a black women to the court. Because the GOP did away with the SCOTUS filibuster, thereās nothing they can do and weāll get another Sotomayor who has to ask what The Constitution is while she does whatever she wants for the next 30-40 years.
I see @KHHville linked the article in the āpredict the smearā thread. Iām guessing that the GOP smear will be that she doesnāt follow the words and meaning of The Constitution, while the Democrats will smear anyone who is opposed to her as a racist.
Edit: and, of course, a sexist. And probably a fascist. Almost definitely a white supremacist. And maybe a Nazi.
Might as well integrate this thread with the larger one, because there will always be smears on any new SC justice candidate, no matter what party runs the legislative or executive branch.
I think the types of criticisms will be very different. I doubt weāll see any accusations of gang rapes without any evidence, belonging to a cult, or noticing pubic hair on soda cans. My guess is it will be more of the āher judicial philosophy is incoherentā and āshe has demonstrated a disregard for the Constitution and American values by doing āXāā.
Biden should go big and nominate four new members at once in order to restore the Supreme Politbureauās power to engage in legislation without representation.
The Republicans will demand that Biden wait to appoint a new justice until after the 2024 election to truly reflect the will of the people.
Is that the bar?
Ketanji Brown Jackson
This was predicted back in June when she was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit see here and was predicted before she even got appointed to that position back in March 2021 see here
Spare yourself the time and energy listening to CNN scratch their heads over this one.
Other than graduating Harvard Law, she doesnāt really seem to have distinguished herself career-wise. She does have the right skin color though.
Sheās a federal judge. I think itās safe to say sheās got a little more than that working in her favor. Itās unfair to wrap her in the box that Biden built for her.
Oh, Iām sure sheās competent. Just nothing particularly distinguished in her career.
Iām just saying that we shouldnāt hate on this woman simply because Biden is an idiot. She hasnāt even made weight yet. The fight is months away.

Yes because Republicans always take the high road.
You should like this thread as you have begun to see things in black and white, huh?
Anything to say about the maybe nominee? Or just gonna bash them repubes?
You want me to bash a hypothetical nominee that hasnāt been named yet? Nawā¦ Iāll leave that to you guys!
Did I ask you to bash her? Why would you start there? Oh right, your chronic bias.
You didnāt hear? Weāre getting another Sotomayor and Bidenās a racist.
If he wanted to show his keen interest in putting a black person on the Supreme court he could have just voted for Clarence Thomas.
