Biden could have spared everyone a lot of trouble by privately deciding at some point over the past year which Black woman he wanted to appoint and then just announcing her when the vacancy arose rather than having a pledge hanging out there.

The public strongly disagrees with Elie Mystal on this. No one should be disqualified from consideration on the basis of Wokeism.
“During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with the chance to do so, just over three-quarters of Americans (76%) want Biden to consider “all possible nominees.” Just 23% want him to automatically follow through on his history-making commitment that the White House seems keen on seeing through. At a ceremony honoring the retiring justice, Biden told reporters he is able to honor his promise without compromising on quality. …”
Although the poll’s sample size was not large enough to break out results for Black people, only a little more than 1 in 4 nonwhite Americans (28%) wish for Biden to consider only Black women for the vacancy. Democrats are more supportive of Biden’s vow (46%) than Americans as a whole, but still a majority of Democrats (54%) also prefer that Biden consider all possible nominees. …”
Isn’t this patronizing and racist?
By picking a black woman, you are conceding that you making the appointment on the basis of race and sex. You’re suggesting that the black woman who is chosen didn’t succeed on her own merits.
Although Joe Biden is rated more negatively on his Supreme Court pick than any other issue, the public also overwhelmingly says the Brandon administration can’t do anything right:
“A glaring weak spot for Biden is inflation, where 69% of Americans disapprove of his handling of this key issue. …
Biden sees other troublesome disapproval numbers surrounding his handling of gun violence (69%), crime (64%), immigration (64%), the situation with Russia and Ukraine (56%) and the country’s economic recovery (56%.)
The country is split on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with 50% approving and 49% disapproving …
Americans are less clear where they stand on the issue of sending ground troops to Eastern Europe to try to discourage a Russian invasion of Ukraine. One in three (32%) Americans “don’t know” enough to say while 38% oppose sending group troops and 29% support it. …”
Even if he is going to end up doing this you don’t come out and explicitly say from the start what the fix is. This is making it too obvious and is another bad move coming from the democrats. Pretty much everyone with a brain also knows black women are the worst of the worst. Dealing with them in a workplace, government job, so called “intellectual” they are always the rock bottom performers. This is why the democrats are failing so badly, after Trump won they doubled down on blacks as their core supporters and rewarded them with undeserved power. A lot of the most retarded ideas they’ve been spewing forth come from these middling 90 IQ so called “intellectuals.” What is he going to do? Nominate one of these disasterous pro-crime black female DAs Soros imposed on so many places currently wreaking havoc? I doubt you can find a single black woman qualified for this spot.
How about a single Protestant? The court already has a house negro. We literally have zero representation. Not that it would probably matter anyway. It’s all scripted even Uncle Thomas.
>The public
Of course as someone who talks a lot about the PMC and the political/media ideological bubble they inhabit, he didn’t make and repeat that pledge because he thought it would be especially popular with ‘the public’ — by election day, probably very few voting members of ‘the public’ even remembered that he’d said that.
The polls mean nothing. The Zombies have no firm opinions, only emotions. Battle continues in the Communist Party, can they push the Camel onto the Supreme Court, elevate Garfinkel to vee pee then activate the 25th, push out mush brain and make Garfinkel President? Garfinkel would come through with all the goodies that mush brain and Crazy Nancy blocked.
It is going to take time. Everyone has skeletons in their closet nowadays. And finding a squeaky clean black male or female, with a clean back round and a clean family history is going to be tough.
Only Whites feel the need to appoints minorities to high positions. The White dems do it because they want to be seen as progressive and woke. The Republicans do it for votes and so no one calls them racists. blacks never put Whites in because they’re White.
Kamala to the Supreme Court! Nobody gonna say nuthin’ about it!
Big game-changer in the French Presidential election a few hours ago. A black woman from French Guiana, Christiane Taubira, has just won the French leftist Presidential primary.
This guarantees Taubira will have the 500 unique endorsements from local officials to be on the April ballot. Momentum will be huge.
And unlike Kamala, France’s Taubira has a substantive record including being the former French Justice Minister. She turns 70 this week, she’s as qualified as anyone running.
It’s highly likely the globalist and you-know-who forces in France and elsewhere, will unite to push Macron aside, and help Taubira to become the first woman and first person of colour Président of France, still a key role on the global stage.
From some 6-10 candidates on the ballot in April, there is then a run-off of the top two in May … now, that might well be Taubira vs ‘far-right’ Jewish Zemmour.

Supreme Court picks are always political decisions and never have anything to do with merit. Nominating a Black woman because of her race and sex isn’t really much different from any other nomination done for political/partisan/nepotistic reasons. Kagan, Sotomayor, and Coney-Barett were all similar identity picks.
As long as she isn’t a Papist, I’m fine with it.
@Dart – Well it bloody doesn’t matter if you’re “fine” with it, cucked Whitey. You’re getting ruled by Negroes whether you like it or not.
The idea that they can make the world “equal” for all of them is beyond crazy. It doesn’t matter if they can do the job or not, they get the job because of their race, which is the opposite of what they all chanted about with MLK’s speech. They know they are not equal, and so they have to get free passes.
