Why? Who did they rape?

I think I covered that in a previous post quite a while back.

Once we find out who the nominee is, we need to confirm or refute allegations that she serviced an entire rape lines while in high school, while her family sits there and processes it along with her.

"Equity" and all, you know.

Foreskin being Foreskin today. About once every other year there is some news in Canada as there is this week, yet even then he is totally focused on all things Trump. And then- not surprisingly- knows nothing about Canada.

Kavanaugh was never properly investigated:

All we know for sure is that he likes beer:

That's why we need to double down on examining the Biden nominee, so that she does not just skate as Kavanaugh did.

Yeh, that bit about her servicing the rape lines troubles me. And it should trouble you too if you had any standards.

If I had any standards I would have put you on ignore months ago. I'm slumming.

I will provide my brief two cents on this subject...

I can understand a President selecting a running mate based on criteria trying to get the most votes out for the ticket. For example a Presidential candidate who lives in the North selected a V.P. on the ticket who lives in another region to pull in the votes. It's pretty much the same in picking a V.P. for the ticket on the basis of race and/or gender in an attempt to pick up voting blocs that would normally support that other individual (the V.P.). In view that the V.P. is in many ways a ceremonial job with limited responsibilities (with the reality that most want to seek the Presidency eventually) -- it does not not make much difference in the executive branch operational capability. There have been numerous Presidents who rarely even spoke with their V.P. -- for example F.D.R. and Truman.

In my opinion a judge on the Supreme Court is a different situation. The President should seek out the most qualified individual aligned with the party's judicial ideology. The approach should be to define a pool of highly qualified candidates, interview them, and put forward the individual who appears to be the best fit (and can actually get confirmed). This pool may land up including judges of all races, genders, etc. and they can move forward with a black woman from the pool if desired. However in my opinion for the sake of the court and for their party -- they should not limit the selection pool by simply saying they are going to only focus on "black woman" as a entry criteria -- there are very many qualified sitting judges in the U.S. I clearly understand the positive image with a voting bloc if a black woman is selected for the court-- but this Supreme Court selection is very different than selecting a V.P. candidate.

Weird how for 200 years the most qualified SCOTUS were white males. At this level, qualifications are a wash for everyone genuinely considered (not federalist/corporate stooges) as they're cream of the crop & a representative court should be given heavy consideration.
 
Critics slam Cruz for saying Biden’s vow to nominate first Black woman to Supreme Court is ‘offensive’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) says President Biden’s vow to nominate and confirm the first Black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court is “offensive” and “an insult to Black women,” becoming the latest Republican to question what is expected to be a history-making nomination to the high court.


On his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” the Texas senator argued on Monday that Biden’s pledge to nominate a Black woman sent a message to other Americans that they are automatically “ineligible” because of race and gender.

“The fact that he’s willing to make a promise at the outset, that it must be a Black woman, I got to say that’s offensive. You know, Black women are what, 6 percent of the U.S. population? He’s saying to 94 percent of Americans, ‘I don’t give a damn about you, you are ineligible,’” Cruz said. Black women represent 7 percent of the population as of 2019, according to the Census Bureau.
