Especially not one over the internet. I don’t care if a person thinks I’m this or that for things I espouse, I know who I am and my own heart and what I stand for, so nothing actually gets to me. I’m confident I’m on the right side of the argument regardless of your thoughts of feelings. If you offer me something to actually think about rather than propaganda that has been repeated over and over again (of which I have considered long ago) I will think thoughtfully about it and apply it to my current thinking and see if it makes sense. So far you’ve offered nothing other than trying to bait, pathetically really. Keep on keeping on with your diversity (in itself) is a strength narrative. (Spoiler it’s not unless they were chosen by their merits, you know, by the content of their character and education/job experience and such). Carry on. 1

Expand I can't speak to percentages because in the big picture, it seems that represents lowest common denominator politics. Biden is pretty good at that. I will say that Clarence Thomas definitely feels he fell into whatever percentage of Black Americans Joe Biden was quite willing to destroy back when that was fashionable. Biden was pretty good at that for a long time, too.

Expand Nope, that’s not what I said. In fact that’s the opposite of what I said. It need not be based on skin color and sex. You knew that though, and you continue to bait. Biden, clever as he is, let the cat out of the bag for the American people to hear what he’s looking for. The only reason someone would do that is to virtue signal to his base. Rather than stand on principle for what this country stands for, he wants to make a loud minority in this country happy. If the candidate is a space alien, it matters not to me, as long as they are the most qualified in the position. As I said earlier, choosing from 9% of the population necessarily makes it so that you will more than likely choose someone less qualified, as you’re cutting out the consideration 91% of the candidates. That leaves an unnecessary asterisk next to the candidates name when that person could very well be the best person for the job. I know you know this but you can’t admit it.

Expand Would you support the Bork/Thomas/Kavanaugh democrat approach to potential nominees? That is to say, in the blood sport that this all has become, is it incumbent on the opposition party to attempt to destroy the nominee regardless of qualifications?

Expand When my team hires somebody based on an "open" position we provide a job description and a list of qualification, education, training, and experience requirements. Then select from the candidates through evaluations, interviews, etc. Pretty standard stuff. I suspect no such job description exists in the field of Supreme Court justices. Even so, would you agree that before that question can be answered from a objective perspective we'd all have to understand what the qualifications for being a Supreme Court justice are based on some form of job description? List of duties, qualifications, expectations of performance, etc. Otherwise, the argument boils down to the personal preferences and philosophical interpretations of each of us rather than some quantifiable standard. Or maybe it all comes down to politics and qualifications are irrelevant to the nomination process?

LeviF Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Since when has "qualified" mattered to leftists anyway? Elena Kagan was propped up with zero judicial experience. Just nominate Michelle Obama and have done with it already.
