Senator Biden blocked the first Black Woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court

[Sunsettommy]

Thread sumary:

Republicans are being as deliberately dishonest. And no one is surprised.

First, Brown was never nominated to the SC, or being considered for the SC. Her thing was about a DC Circuit Court nomination.

All the Republicans here were clueless about about that. I cazn't say they're lying, because they're all literally too stupid to lie. They were given some propaganda to repeat, and like the obedient cult zombies they are, none of them considered checking it. Conservatives aren't supposed to think, they're supposed to blindly obey, and they do.

Second, Joe Biden never said being a black woman was the only qualification, as they're implying. That's the basis of their hypocrisy argument, and it's a big steaming pile. The threat of filibuster was issued because she was so hostile to civil rights, and she was a wild-eyed extremist judicial activist who thought the Constitution was whatever she wanted it to be. Blocking her was protecting minorities.

So, do any of you Republicans regret pushing this big lie, or, as usual, do you only regret getting busted for it?

(You don't have to answer. We already know Republicans never feel regret in any form about lying.)

It is clear that YOU are full of shit as usual because you IGNORED post one that was right in front of your face:

July 2005

"Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said."

It had NOTHING to do with the DC circuit nomination for which she was appointed a few years EARLIER in 2003.

PolitiFact:

"A few years earlier, on July 25, 2003, Bush nominated Brown, then an associate justice on the California Supreme Court, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

and,

"Biden, then a U.S. senator, said on a July 3, 2005, episode of "Face the Nation" that if Bush nominated Brown, "I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered."


No else in the thread said she was nominated yet YOU make it seems that is what happened you snaked eyed LIAR!

Bush decided not to nominate her BECAUSE of Bidens threat to Shut it down decided to nominate Alito instead.

This is why so many here despise you for your incessant lying stupid postings.

It is clear that YOU are full of shit as usual because you IGNORED post one that was right in front of your face:

Post one was a propaganda dump from some kook right wing propaganda site. And you're now citing it as absolute truth? And you don't realize how stupid that is?

Wow. Just wow.

Former Judge Janice Rogers Brown Was Not Nominated to the Supreme Court - FactCheck.org

Republicans did not nominate former Judge Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Supreme Court. A Facebook post falsely claims that Brown -- not Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson -- was the first Black woman to be nominated to the nation's highest court.

I just posted saying NO ONE said she was nominated as this from post one you never read makes clear:

"Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said."

red bolding mine

Since his threat was real and would likely succeed Bush decided to Nominate Alito instead which means Brown was NEVER nominated for SCOTUS.

No one here said she was nominated second time I stated this you going understand it this time?

You were given several links and a couple videos showing Biden would strongly oppose a nomination of Brown and you ignored it all even ignored that Bush dropped Brown (Who was never nominated) for Alito instead who got nominated.

When are you going to turn on your very small brain?

 

[mamooth]

"Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

That's something the propaganda writer made up.

Repeat after me until it sinks in: "Just because I saw it on the internet doesn't mean it's true."

But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster.

For the DC circuit court. This isn't complicated, so why are you having such trouble with it?

Since his threat was real and would likely succeed Bush decided to Nominate Alito instead which means Brown was NEVER nominated for SCOTUS.

That's your new addition to the story, an addition with no basis in fact.

Bush did consider someone before Alito. Harriet Miers. Brown never enters the story.

If you're not making it all up, you'll be able to give us an actual source, from that time period, that said Bush wanted to nominate Brown to the SC before he finally picked Alito. Not an unnamed person making an unsupported claim, but an actual source from the era.

Please proceed.

Here is the full section from Politifact:

"A few years earlier, on July 25, 2003, Bush nominated Brown, then an associate justice on the California Supreme Court, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

At the time, Republicans held a 51-48 majority in the Senate but they struggled to get the 60 votes needed to end debate and vote on judicial nominees.

Democrats were filibustering several of Bush’s nominees to prevent them from joining a federal bench, and in November 2003, Democrats signaled they would do the same to Brown, reported the Chicago Tribune, which called the judicial filibusters "unprecedented in Senate history."

Biden was among the 43 senators to vote against ending debate on Brown’s nomination, and that filibuster ultimately lasted for two years until a group of senators reached a bipartisan agreement that cleared the way for her confirmation. Biden again voted against ending debate on the nomination but the motion passed, and Brown was confirmed on June 8, 2005, with a vote of 56-43. Biden also voted against her nomination."

Meanwhile the Washington Post wrote this you ignored:

Possible Nominees to the Supreme Court​

The Washington Post
Friday, July 1, 2005;

Here is a list of potential nominees for the Supreme Court:

Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
Samuel A. Alito, Jr., 55, is a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.
Nominated by President George H. W. Bush to the court in 1990, Alito was educated at Princeton University and Yale Law School. His work experience includes stints as assistant to the Solicitor General and deputy assistant to the Attorney General during the Reagan Administration, and as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
Alito has voted to uphold regulations on abortion, notably as the lone dissenter in a 1991 case in which the 3rd Circuit struck down a Pennsylvania law's requirement that women tell their husbands before having an abortion. The three-judge panel preserved most elements of the abortion control law, including a 24-hour waiting period and a requirement that minors notify their parents. But Alito argued in his dissent that the spousal notification provision did not impose an "undue burden" and also should have been upheld.

In other rulings, Alito wrote for the majority in 1997 in finding that Jersey City officials did not violate the Constitution with a holiday display that included a creche, a menorah and secular symbols of the Christmas season. In 1999, he and his colleagues found that a Newark policy that allowed medical, but not religious, exemptions to a ban on police officers having beards violated the First Amendment.
-- Christopher Lee

Janice Rogers Brown
Janice Rogers Brown, 56, was confirmed last month to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. For nine years before that, she was a California Supreme Court justice.

Janice Rogers Brown

Brown was born in Greenville, Ala., and educated at California State University at Sacramento and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law. She is a self-described conservative who as a young single mother once called herself so leftist as to be almost Maoist. She was legal affairs secretary for California Gov. Pete Wilson (R) before joining the California Court of Appeals in 1994.

As a judge, she has written sharp opinions that opposed affirmative action, that supported a state law requiring girls younger than 18 to notify their parents before getting an abortion, and that advocated using stun guns in a courtroom to control an unruly defendant. She has strongly supported property rights and describes herself as someone who looks to the intent of the framers of the Constitution when making decisions. Some have criticized her for writing dissents and opinions that personally attack other justices.
Brown has attracted as much attention for her speeches as for her legal decisions. In recent years, she has described New Deal legal precedents as "the triumph of our socialist revolution," and two months ago, she told a Connecticut group of Catholic legal professionals that "there seems to have been no time since the Civil War that this country was so bitterly divided." She also said that "these are perilous times for people of faith" and that there's a social cost to pay "if you are a person of faith who stands up for what you believe in and say those things out loud."
Brown grew up in the segregated South, where her family refused to enter restaurants or theaters with separate entrances for black customers. Before moving to Washington, she lived in a gated community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

She was already confirmed to the D.C. Court a month earlier when her name was listed as a POSSIBLE SCOTUS nominee.

Pay attention!!

But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said. Asked by moderator John Roberts “Wasn’t she just confirmed?,” Biden replied that the Supreme Court is a “totally different ballgame” because “a circuit court judge is bound by stare decisis. They don’t get to make new law.”
What Biden threatened was unprecedented. There has never been a successful filibuster of a nominee for associate justice in the history of the republic. Biden wanted to make a Black woman the first in history to have her nomination killed by filibuster. Bush eventually nominated Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Judge Brown was more qualified than Jackson, but because she was too mainstream for Biden and the crazy left Dems they blocked her before she could even get a hearing.

What? Do you mean Biden blocked her because she was a republican stooge?
Unheard of. It should never happen.

[jknowgood]

And we were right. Even the Republican senate confirmed it.

Like I tell the other fascist liars here, if you're going to lie, at least be good at it. You tell really stupid lies, and your cult expects better of you.

Even the fbi admitted there was no collusion.

 

[daveman]

the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights opposed Janice Rogers Brown’s nomination “based on her record on the California Supreme Court where she exhibited ‘a strong, persistent, and disturbing hostility toward affirmative action, civil rights, the rights of individuals with disabilities, workers’ rights, and the fairness of the criminal justice system.’”

Democrats rightly blocked Brown’s confirmation because they saw her, the Associated Press reported in 2005, “as a ‘conservative judicial activist who ignores the law in favor of her own political views.’”

We’ve seen the destructive effects of activist judges play out over the past few years with the decisions being handed down by Donald Trump appointees. Thiessen once again ignores inconvenient facts in order to make a flimsy attack on Democrats. His act is getting old.

But remember, kids, it's okay when leftists ignore the Constitution in favor of their agenda.

You can cry all you want, but fact of the matter is that Joe Biden will be remembered by history for being a loyal second fiddle to the first black President, choosing a black woman to be his Vice President, and appointing the first black woman to sit on the Supreme Court.

Oh, I am not crying.
I am just pointing out that Joe Biden is a liar and a racist.
And BTW, Obama is also a racist.
And so is Judge Jackson.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

And Janice Rogers Brown was never a supreme court candidate. Only to the US court of appeals. She was opposed for her conservative activist views.

Just as Ketangi Brown Jackson was given a pass and put on the court despite her incredible
defense of pedophilia. A crime that until now has universally been seen as a sick depraved
act of a monster.

Come back when you have something less stupid and disgusting to post.

And you can cry all you want but Joe Biden led the campaign to deny Janice Rogers Brown her SC appointment
and to suggest that Joe Biden actually chose Jackson Brown because he's been such a beacon of hope
for minorities of all sorts is a lie and the record shows otherwise.

Biden doesn't even know who he has put on his cabinet.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Of course she wasn't nominated. Biden's threat of deploying the unprecedented partisan use of a SCOTUS filibuster was enough to dissuade Bush from nominating her.

The nomination that was threatened with the filibuster was not to the SOCUTS, but to the DC Circuit court.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It's a matter of American history now, there for all to see. Biden went on Face The Nation and said he would filibuster

To what court was she going to be nominated?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And you can cry all you want but Joe Biden led the campaign to deny Janice Rogers Brown her SC appointment

She was not talked about for SC appointment. This took place in 2003, there was no opening on the SCOUTS in 2003. There would not be till 2005

Yes, for a DC Circuit court position. Not for SCOTUS.

That is very nice. Tell, what opening was there on SCOTUS in 2003? Who was the Justice that left in that year?
