    Oh! So, it's okay, then?

    Only heterosexual white men scream about racism?

    I’m shocked he’s keeping his promise.

    She’s an elitist Harvard law grad but she is super qualified

    To be truly qualified, Judge Jackson would have to have gotten drunk at a college frat party and shoved her naked genitalia into some unsuspecting frat boy's fce. Amirite?

    I was hoping for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, but KBJ is fine.

    I know you feel its your responsibility to defend right-wing extremists, but can you explain how an inadvertent typo is "intentionally mispronouncing" the judge's name (for pollical purposes)?

    Ms Jackson's nomination would be more celebrated if she had beaten out a field of all potential candidates. Biden limiting the selection pool to only black females actually diminishes the honor of her being selected. People will look at her as a diversity pick and not as the clear cut best candidate. This has always been the unintended consequence with affirmative action... it's not fair to Ms Jackson, quite honestly. Diversity picks like this are always tainted and will carry the stigma -- often unfairly -- of being less qualified for the position. Biden boxed himself into a corner during the election and had to pull this stunt... and now Ms. Jackson suffers the consequence (lowered expectations, whispers that she's unqualified, whispers of beating out an artificially small candidate pool).

    Do you feel the same way about Reagan who openly pledged to nominate a woman to the court?

    50% of the population (women) versus 5% of the population (black women). Surely you can see the difference.
