There is always a huge fuss about SCOTUS. Its important, yeah.
But it doesnt exactly change anything for us. The way people turn a SCOTUS nomination into these great accomplishments is ridiculous to me. It's the presidents job and he did it.
And yeah a lot is done for optics. I agree. So now this will be a historic accomplishment for black Americans while absolutely nothing changes for the actual people. THATS what irks me.
I'm not shitting on her, I just find it frustrating that nothing meaningful is getting done for Americans. I just see this being treated like Bidens big accomplishment for black people and that's a wrap. No more criminal justice reforms. No education options. No plans to get these horrific crime rates down and innocent people are dying. Nothing.
It's not even that Biden isnt serving any regular "right wing" people.....he isnt even serving the people that voted for him. He never had any intention to cancel student loan debt....or even just get rid of the God awful interest rates that make them so expensive. None of us are getting shit from this administration except a real possibility of WW3.
It just frustrates me, guys. I wish we could do better for the country we all have to live in regardless of differences.
I want to be proud of America. I'm not. And that sucks. I dont think anyone is.

Indeed. I do. I'm not sure that means the same thing to me that it does to you though.
I do not think the Republicans are representing the people. They present as right wing but they do not walk the walk. I believe most of them in there are on the same team and it's not ours.
Not all of them, but a lot of them.
Most of the Republicans in my state are total shit. We are currently trying to recall a few because they scammed Covid relief money. How disgusting is that? Synder was a shit heel.
We have a retired Detroit police chief who will be running Republican that I do like. So many people were pumped for John James. I was really disappointed he lost both his runs. And he had SO much support. Over all it doesnt seem to matter here in Michigan who is democrat or republican because they all act the same.

Trumputinists aren't at all racist though.
The nomination of is an attempt to “defile” the supreme court and “humiliate and degrade” the US, the Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson claimed on Friday night.
Carlson Jackson was nominated “because of how she looks”. He said: “Do you want to live in that country? Most people don’t, of all colors. They think you should be elevated in America based on what you do, on the choices not on how you were born, not on your DNA, because that’s Rwanda.”
One columnist called his comments “the perfect distillation of white supremacy”.
Biden promised to put a Black woman on the court. Chosen from a short list of three, Jackson was on Friday.
Biden called her a “proven consensus builder” with “a pragmatic understanding that the law must work for the American people”, and said: “For too long, our government, our courts, haven’t looked like America.”
If confirmed, the former public defender will replace the retiring Stephen Breyer. The balance of the court will stay 6-3 in favour of conservatives.
At the White House, Jackson paid tribute to Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to be a federal judge, for her “steadfast and courageous commitment to equal justice under law“.
Carlson claimed Jackson’s appointment showed Biden was committed to undermining equality.
“It tells you that he is absolutely happy to defile a system built by other people over hundreds of years, this is the best system in the history of the world, and he is happy to destroy it. Doesn’t care at all.”
Carlson also claimed Jackson wasn’t “much of a jurist … not simply ignorant of the law” but also “a political activist”.
Pointing to a forthcoming case concerning affirmative action in college admissions, Carlson said most Americans “think you should be elevated … based on what you do … not on how you were born, not on your DNA, because that’s Rwanda.”
Jennifer Rubin, a conservative Washington Post columnist, Carlson’s comments “the perfect distillation of white supremacy”.
Justices have been nominated on grounds of identity. Ronald Reagan promised to pick a woman and installed Sandra Day O’Connor. Donald Trump promised to pick a woman to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg and installed Amy Coney Barrett, a hardline Catholic conservative.

I believe she has had more Bench experience than the last 4 appointees combined, but that must have been a mere coincidence.

This isnt slamming her because of her color. This is saying that giving someone a position like this BECAUSE of their color is a problem.
See how you just hump divisive propaganda and you've actually had the nerve to blame others for "division".
If you gave any sort of real shit about actual racism you would be criticizing actual racism instead of twisting shit that's not racism into racism while calling actually legitimate racism a "whataboutism"
This kind of shit is why even with support for Trump dropping, your shitty "side" still wont grow their own support.
Notice how Admin immediately referred to bench experience. Probably because he sees what is being said by the those criticizing and he has a direct response to THAT.

You know, that's good, and as I've stated previously multiple times and over the years, I not a fan of appointments based on gender, race, or religion alone, but Carlson is so typical of trumputinists in his biases.
I mean I didn't hear such howling from conservatives when Trump nominated a white beer swilling fratboi rapist, or a white religious cultist who by the laws of the cult must be subservient to her male overloards.

So basically you agree that appointments based on idenity politics are garbage.
You just dont think anyone on the opposition end should ever criticize appointments based on identity politics because its racist when they do it, but righteous and correct when you do it.
Got it. So you agree with Tucker. You just dont think he has any right to say what you agree with because you assume his motives. Even though you align with the crime bill party that eulogized a klansman who was endorsed by actual white supremacists.
Good job attacking Kavanaugh based on the fact he said he likes beer. I have yet to see any criticism of him beyond that. Who knew dems/progs were such pearl clutching prudes.....especailly with their passionate defense of sexualizing elementary school students.

This thread went somewhere else while I was doing RL, but irrespective of the last 16-18 hours of posts I want to reply to this since we seem to have some agreemtnt.
Yes SCOTUS is very important, and partly because only one-ninth of it can be overhauled at a time. And yes, there's a bunch of what you call Optics involved in nominations. But SCOTUS is not an entity where we look for any individual Justice to be able to do stuff for ordinary Americans like us.
In fact, Washington itself is not a place where we look for stuff to be done to benefit the lives of ordinary Americans like us. It's a fucking swamp of professional pols who are all on the take, and they are all busy feathering their nests and pandering to their "constituents" (which to them means "the saps that I have to front this or that to so they'll voat for me again." S.C. justices are different because they don't have to face any more elections, so where you see (for instance) McConnell having to do damage control for stunts his wife pulls off, you DON'T see Justice Thomas even pretend to be embarrassed by HIS wife's stunts. There have been several cases where by not recusing himself he crossed ethical lines due to his wife having an interest in the outcome, and nobody's said boo about it. It's been at least ten years since the featherbedding fuck has even asked a goddam QUESTION in oral arguments.
It's ALL Optics, Dove. There is a class war going on, the five percenters only need about ten percent of us peons to run errands for them and the other 85 per cent of us just need to die someplace where the five percenters won't have to smell our rotting corpses.

Hopefully, this dumb bitch slips on a banana peel during Trumps 3rd term and helps him further isolate Roberts as the courts sole remaining libtard.
