what if the best candidate is asian? was that the case with Trump's appointments your concern was abortion talk about Myopic what’s the upside, other than politics?
“on cue playing the affirmative action card”.
what do you call it, POTUS prerogative when someone says a job can only be filled by a specific skin color and gender?Who ever said that Jim ? Now Whos making up stuff again
how is that not a violation of anti discrimination law? clearly you're not a lawyer
ones skin color and gender are random accidents. they don’t say anything about you. they don’t say anything about ones ability or character. sorry if that’s going too fast for you. whats to fast is your upset before a choice has been made because you were told to be upset let that sink in
it’s very smart politics in that party. but that’s all it is. gives biden a political win which he desperately needs, and it’ll fire up his base.
pure politics. and he’s playing it well. Now you pivot back to its just Politics

Ahh yes Jim Trump made campaign promises and you hailed him as a hero Fulfilling his promises .
Ronald Reagan fulfilled his 1980 campaign promise to place a woman on the Court, which he did with the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor.
Biden does the same thing yet you cry about it .
ones skin color and gender are random accidents.
But OMG out of 115 justices, 110 (95.7%) have been men. All Supreme Court justices were males until 1981, So using your logic Jim Regan Put O Connor on the bench 1 for politics 2 Affirmative action 3 it don’t say anything about one's ability or character. or 4 what if the best candidate is asian?
One choice not on your list for Regan or Biden it's the right thing
and they checked all the boxes . Women, competence , experienced,
