Reuters - Obama Defends Choice of White Male for Supreme Court
"President Barack Obama on Thursday defended his pick of a white man to fill a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy against criticism he could have chosen someone from a more diverse background, saying Merrick Garland was "indisputably qualified" for the post."
Ok. I haven't been a big fan of the current administration (or the one just before it for that matter). I don't hate the President and I can name off a few things that got done under his watch.
That being said...
Seriously??
The President has to defend choosing a white man to fill a position now?
What in the bloody blue blazes is going on in this country??
The rest about Garland facing an uphill battle and the idea that the next President should choose the Supreme Court nominee can be discussed to but the main headline is what caught my eye on this one.
And...debate if there is a debate here...
