The heritage foundation is an outstanding organization that is dedicated to constitutional application. Using them as a filter was a good idea. The Heritage foundation by the way has a rather impressive collection of Black, Latino and Asian members in case you were wondering. There was one point of bias that might be a non-political point it would be the abortion issue. Other than that they provide an excellent filtration service for constitutional scholars.
You think going to Harvard or Yale makes you a better lawyer or judge than going to Notre Dame? It seems a silly premise.Amy Barret went to Norte Dame, a nice school but no Harvard or Yale, and had among the least experience of any candidate nominated in decades. There are Harvard educated judges with much more experience than her that were passed over. Was she the best person for that job? Or was she qualified and was a woman? Did you post a challenge to her nomination? I guarantee you that the democrats have experienced African American judges with way more experience than her. Both top runners went to Harvard. I like Leonora Kruger personally but either have way better resumes than Amy. Brett might have been a high school rapist wannabe but he was well qualified for that appointment. So are the leading candidates for Biden.
Amy Coney Barrett is the least-experienced Supreme Court nominee in 30 years
The Federalist Society has turned many mediocre men into judges—and a few smart moms.www.motherjones.com
Heritage is a piece of crap Republican garbage propaganda outlet funded by greedy idiot billionaires. All for show.
Which is brutally unfair. If he picks the judge I assume he will, I may not endorse the election but not because of race. I may oppose it on the basis of the liberal litmus tests she will probably pass with flying colors.
The Federal bench is big. The SCOTUS bench is not. For President Regan to say he would strive to make sure females had access to the Federal bench was merely a recognition that more needed to be done. In fact, if he had said the same thing about blacks, I’d be fine with it. And if he said it for both blacks and females,I’d be fine with it.
Bullshit.... At the very same time the supreme Court is hearing a landmark admissions exclusion case concerning Harvard versus the Asian American society.... An admission explosion based solely on genes and culture which is complete bullsit...The President of the United States is doing the very Goddamned same thing in his next search for a Justice?
You have no idea what the process for the selection was. The Heritage Foundation gave him a list of people that the final selection was made from. Do you really think Presidents make up their own list from their own research on the matter? No executive does shit like that. They dont have the time. The President's staff likely pares it down to 3-5 gives him a brief on them and then the decision is made from there. Regardless of where the list comes from that's likely the process. Just because you got to see how some of the sausage was made under Trump doesnt make the sausage any different.
That would fine. But that's not what's happening. He knows if he doesn't put a Black woman on the court the far left will lose its collective mind and so do you.
No but that's not what is happening here. We are putting together a list of X number of qualified candidates who are also Black and female. If you aren't Black and female you don't make the list regardless of your other qualifications. That's the issue. It would be no different if we disqualified people because they were black and or female. If you can use something as a qualification it can also be used as a disqualifier, no?
You know nothing but racism.
Then a lot of people are qualified if a B school can get you on the court. Can a black women be qualified? Yea. Has a black women been deemed qualified in 114 attempts? No. Why hasn’t a black women been nominated in 114 attempts? Biden’s top two candidates happen to be black women. It’s easy to predict a black woman when that is a fact.
