Pretty much.

Speaking of minorities on the bench, if Garland had made it through there would have been 4 Jewish justices at the same time. Kinda wild.

Now down to one.

I get what the history is, break the history without having to feel forced to break the history.

Yes. This.

And without having to make it about yourself by declaring ahead of time because you want pats on the back.

He didn't bring it up, it came up in the context of a debate.

Isn't it being reported that someone advised him to say it while they were in a strategy break during the debate?

Maybe you should find things out definitively before posting speculative rumors.

That's kind of counterproductive to being a troll. Or, as you like to say, a cunt.

Maybe I did, but wanted to pose it as a question anyway?

It is being reported that in a strategy break during the debate that someone reminded him to announce publicly the decision he had already made privately. Your generalization makes it sound like he hadn't decided to do it until someone else told him to. That would be incorrect.

"Rep. James Clyburn rushed backstage during a Democratic presidential primary debate to remind Joe Biden, then a candidate, to make public his private commitment that his first Supreme Court appointment would be a Black woman, according to a book published last year. "

When are you guys going to learn that facts do not matter to illy? If it doesn't fit his narrative, it doesn't matter.

[MICHHAWK]

a liberal president is replacing a retiring liberal judge with another liberal judge. i don't know why this is even news.

Because RepubliQans are making it news?

No. My comment was that he was reminded to make sure he used it (or in this case remembered to use it) as a bargaining chip on the campaign trail. That would be a totally correct statement.

He should have done it because it was the right thing to do instead of doing it to win votes by declaring it ahead of time. Just pick a black woman because representation matters. It doesn't need to be said that race/gender are why you're picking a person/from a group of people. It cheapens it in my opinion, which is totally fucking unfair to whichever very deserving woman of color he chooses.

[MICHHAWK]

every move a politician makes is a calculated pandering. of course one of his handlers told him on the trail that if he gets to make an appointment it will be a female of color.

his next appointment will be of a hispanic transgender binary 6 toed lbgtqlmnop.

won't affect my life one iota either way. and as we all know, if it don't affect my life......i don't care.

That's flat out ignorant. He decided to do it because it is the right thing to do. It also wins him votes. These two things can exist separate of each other. The fact that it wins him votes to say it out loud doesn't mean that he shouldn't do it for fear that a constant contrarian might question his motives. The fact that a white constant contrarian thinks it cheapens it to say it out loud doesn't mean that it wasn't a necessary and important thing for African American citizens of the US to hear.

No one cares whether it cheapens it for you and people like you or me. It is irrelevant.

He "used" it. That feels really slimy to me.

It's almost like he was trying to win an election to be President of the United States.

Doesn't matter. Slimy.
