Good for her. I'd prefer our supreme court justices not be partisan shills.
I feel like Trump's SC picks have been pretty fair compared to the hype around their senate appointments.
Like in most of the government, the so-called "conservative" justices generally approach the law from a legal perspective vs. being purely partisan shills. In fairness, so-called "conservative" justices are generally selected based on their record and talent vs. the left-wing justice are obvious tokens. The token black woman and Latina are barely literate and clearly have the legal acumen of chihuahua.
Didn't have to make it racist, but alright.
Simple truth isn't racist.
It's amazing it's okay to hire unqualified tokens, but the racists get butthurt when you notice.
Jumanji and Sotomayor wouldn't get into on online law school if based on merit.
Sotomayor graduated summa cum laude at Princeton and won the Pyne Prize (highest academic honor that Princeton awards to an undergraduate), got her JD from Yale, and has been nominated by three different presidents (H.W. Bush, Clinton, Obama).
Jackson got her JD from Harvard cum laude and an extensive legal career, including VP and Commissioner on the YS sentencing commission. Was nominated to the US District Court for DC by the president and served there for 8 years.
Tell me how they are unqualified because it sounds like you're just talking out of your ass.
Why aren't you saying anything about Clarence Thomas who affirms he was most-likely an Affirmative Action take at Yale? (I'm not saying this makes him unqualified, but weird how you call out "tokens" but not him)
Sounds like you just assume that any minority that doesn't agree with you is an unqualified token...
Sheila Jackson Lee graduated from Yale and law school from Virginia. What are the average SAT and LSAT scores among ethnic groups of admitted students? I wonder if they would be the same or if some students from particular groups are admitted with lower scores?
When the president says "I'm going to select a black woman" that's the textbook definition of a token.
Thomas definitely was a toke. No way Bush could not replace Thurgood Marshall with an African American. That being said, he clearly is on a different intellectual plane than the other two. I mean you can listen to particularly Sotomayor talk and realize she's not going to be president of Mensa.
What the averages are isn't relevant, you have no idea what
her scores were. She graduated with honors at one of the best law schools in the country, that's not just given to you because you're a minority lol.
Biden is dumb and should have just said "I'm going to select the best available candidate" and then pick her. But he made a promise that he would make a selection that would add black female representation to the Supreme Court and he kept it. I don't think that's a bad thing, unless do you believe that there isn't a single black woman in America that's qualified to be on the SC.
Thomas has way more years of experience in law and on the SC, I would expect him to be on a different plane. Doesn't make Sotomayor any less qualified, I didn't notice anything while listening to the oral arguments, maybe not as skilled at public speaking, but doesn't mean she's not intelligent when it comes to the law. I don't think she get's a nomination from three different presidents for different positions (dems and reps) if she weren't qualified.
If you have specific instances where you disagree with a SC judge that's fine, but all of the current justices come from the top law schools and having decades of experience and I wouldn't call any of them unqualified.
