@flutterby6390 Hmmm, and yet we don't see Carson much on the FOX machine anymore. I wonder, did they request his commentary on this issue just because he's black???

@ritakenny1887 And yet you have no problem with the fact that the FOX machine must dredge up a black conservative every time they want to contradict a liberal/black narrative. See how that works??? I'm guessing Tim Scott was unavailable.

@flutterby6390 Judging by your extraneous "U", you couldn't vote for anyone in American elections.

Even his belt buckle has reason.

I wonder....did some of those same issues arise in the conscience of Amy Coney Barrett during her confirmation hearings? She, being a Catholic with 7 children and a known abortion foe, must have wondered if she were chosen because of merit or because it is believed she was being selected solely to overturn Roe v Wade.... See how that works? Here is reality though: the number of qualified jurists is larger than most people imagine. Barrett is more than qualified, as will this selection to the court. Suggesting the pick will be black and female will not diminish the quality of the pick, as there are many highly qualified who fit the bill. It does acknowledge an underrepresented demographic in SCOTUS...as did Barrett. The main problem I have with the announcement is the obvious pandering. This is just throwing a crust to one of Biden's largest constituencies in lieu of different and better action. More beef and less crust should be the demand. Republicans could be better served to understand that many black folks know that Democrats only give lip service to the community and that there are some changes which can be made to make the party more attractive. Political calculations at this point have decided that as of yet those changes are unwarranted. This may change as they continue to lose more of their base over time. You see these issues from a different lens (it's easy to spot the non-US spellings) and don't fully understand why things are the way they are.

Hmm, you seem to have some insight. Please tell us who it is that you're worried about and how specifically they have "gone against the constitution". Vague smears don't work here, please be specific.

@Less1leg2 Uuh, no. She is a known opponent of abortion. Trump was wont to prove his bonifides with the right-wing conservative christians just in time for the election. Was she qualified? Sure. Was she the best and brightest? No. But hey, yeah, let's keep pretending she wasn't selected for a reason. The same can and will be said of Biden's pick. He'll pick someone who will do a good job. The right will squawk just as the left did when Trump's picks were made. Actually, by record, Gorsuch had the least judicial experience of any recent picks. But he's also been fine. Heck, I remember when liberals were losing their minds over John Roberts. He, like the other members don't cotton to the ruckus portrayed by the media. Yes, each member has their own conservative or liberal slant, but there aren't activists on the court. Each member is moderated by the other members and by the law. I don't really understand why conservatives are upset with the selection of a black woman. Some of the names I've read up on tend to be quite socially conservative. Not to say this won't be a liberal pick, it will be. But, that's how SCOTUS picks are currently made. Nowhere in the constitution does it mention qualifications for a Supreme Court Justice. They don't need to be judges or even attorneys. I personally think we should have qualifications and term limits for these appointments, but that'd require an amendment (3/4 of states would need to ratify). A bi-partisan nominating committee would be great also, but hahaha, that won't happen in the near future.
