Did you feel the same way about Barrett?
Does it matter?
well Its amusing seeing a conservative gush over a leftwing pick but I could understand that if you had said the same thing about Kavanaugh and Barrett-both who were treated far worse by the lefties on the senate committee
Thats your opinion because you’re on the losing side today. Trump is pushing many of us to the center.
WTF does Trump have to do with senile joe engaging in racial/gender quotas?
Depends if they are well written (I assume she will get top law clerks to help her-andI bet she doesn't limit her hires to only black females) or not. She may be very good, she may be seen as a hack. The future is unwritten

For now, in any case I applaud having more diversity on the SCOTUS.
I disagree and given he said he was limiting his pick to a black female-one has to see his actions as "just trying to fill racial/gender quotas"
What do you have against diversity on SCOTUS? Shouldn’t all people be represented?
I don't believe the USSC is or should be a representative body. Most Americans are lawyers. Most Americans don't even have a college degree. The house of representatives is the body that is supposed to represent the citizenry. Not the Supreme Court.
The ABA leans left. Her experience is not more than prior picks. The single most relevant experience is high level federal appellate positions. She has less than a year. Being a trial lawyer has very little to do with being on the Supreme Court.Not sure why you disagree with The Bar association.
ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary rates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson “Well Qualified”
WASHINGTON, March 18, 2022 — The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary has completed its evaluation of the professional qualifications of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee to the United States Supwww.americanbar.org
Her qualifications are impeccable. Her experience more than almost all the other SCOTUS picks in the past. Ahe more experience as a judge than four of the current justices did- combined- at the time they joined the court, and more experience as a trial lawyer than all of them.
Sure, but again her main reason for being picked was her race and gender. Not because she was the best jurist available.
In this day and age, Reagan leans left....
She was certainly right up there with the best candidates available. And "best jurist available" has never, not since the beginning of this country, been the only factor considered. Your whine is stupid.
Because trump is the alternative.
And more senile. One of them thought the Revolutionary War soldiers took over the airports...
actually I believe the Democrat party is farther left than it has ever been, while the GOP platform is pretty much the same since Reagan.
How so-what do you think makes someone "one of the best" there are dozens of people more qualified than she is. when you limit it to black females-your point has merit.
