Being placed on the Court as a Black and a woman might color her opinions because she might feel obligated to decide according to the current trend of thought of the BLM movement or the present day Womans' rights thoughts (could be fickle). It’s amazing that this is never a concern for white male appointments. Nobody thinks their gender / colour makes the unfit for the court and likely to be biased. This is what happens when “whiteness” and “maleness” is seen as the default. |

Oh no…. The media reported news. How terrible!they pis*ed on him for a headline. You are woefully fragile if you think reporting somebody’s retirement is “pissing on them.” |

Queer. Is melanin advantageous in understanding the complexities of law? what's the biological mechanism? white men need not apply. They probably should be prevented from applying. They have been getting special treatment for a century now. |

Do they not want the best person in the job? Are they happy with whatever? That seems absurd.it is absurd. meritocracy has been deemed racist. Ha ha ha! 108/114 appointments being white men is a “meritocracy”. Thanks for popping up to prove my point. In no world would you accept 108 of 114 appointments being female (for example) as being a meritocracy. |

Yes, Vania. The Supreme Court should be occupied by representatives of the American population, and it's about time for a Black woman.  |

It's weird watching the fragile right freaking out over Bidens pre-election pledge on who he would nominate. It's like they forgot Trumps pledge he would only appoint judges who would take away a women's rights to their own body, a very narrow single issue, nothing else about them mattered except that one thing. Yet nominating a black female so the court better reflects the nation is like the sky's about to cave in.

can you say identity politics? have to checkmark that little identity box. Ben Carson slams Biden for 'abominable' identity politics on SCOTUS pick"Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson blasted President Biden on Thursday for making identity politics a factor in his choice for a Supreme Court justice." "Many people fought and gave their lives to bring equality. And now we're reverting back to identity politics. And as we continue to do that, we're bringing more division into our country," Carson continued. "Carson went on to criticize those who claim no racial progress has been made in the United States, saying such claims are "not true." "You know, when I was a kid, it was a big deal when you saw a Black person on television who wasn't in a servile role," he said. "And now you have Black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, university presidents, generals, admirals. We've elected a Black president twice. You've got a Black vice president. Come on, to say that we haven't made any progress is silly." www.foxnews.com/politics/dr-ben-carson-slams-biden-for-abominable-identity-politics-on-scotus-pickfor some odd reason i thought judicial qualifications would be the determinating factor, not skin color and gender. silly me. |

see, absolutely no shame
Reagan pledges to appoint first ever woman to the bench - the right - yeah that's a great idea, long over due.
Trump pledges to appoint based an a single narrow issue, nothing else mattered - the right- yeah that's perfect, nothing to see here move along.
Biden pledges to appoint the first black woman - the right - this is OUTRAGOUS, this has never happened before, its identity politics, the worlds about to end.
its embarrassing really.

I've already said that there are loads of equally qualified candidates. For the purposes of the argument, I said at the outset that if that were the case, then no problem. Is that the case in real life? |

Equally qualified isn't the same as equally good.

The reason the left want a black woman is because they think that black people are genetically predisposed to crime and so need a black person to understand the "issues ".

Is that the case in real life? As far as I can tell, yes. Every time a supreme court gig comes up, it appears that absolutely loads of people are considered and floated for the job, and they all seem qualified, and then they get selected on all kinds of other criteria. As you know, they're all primarily selected for their politics, then their judicial philosophy, rather than for being better or worse by some tiny amount at jurisprudence - however you'd measure that. |

Not to name any, but there have been Judges who have become turn-coats to their original pledges once selected and on the Bench.

There have been a lot of suggestions that many justices appointed by Republicans have drifted left as they've stayed on the court longer and had more time to think about what they're judging (less so recently, and that apparently was one of the reasons that the Federalist Society has become so dominant in Republican judicial circles - they wanted a movement that resisted any lack of purity from "their" justices). I think that, in fact, the overton window shifted right and the requests to the court became more right wing which made those justices look more centrist than they originally looked.
