Biden is more than happy to attempt to deflect attention from his failed foreign policy today, by announcing he will nominate the most whacko left wing option possible, Ketanji Jackson Brown.
Team Red, let's not even bother with the issue of selecting a SCOTUS judge based solely on race and gender. And let's not dilude ourselves in saying "why not someone like Condaleeza Rice"? Unfortunately Biden is the president and it is a 50-50 Senate. The seat was held by a party line leftist Judge Breyer so the choice will a liberal and very few rulings would change.
This pick is obviously not intended to choose the most qualified candidate, or even the most qualified black liberal woman. This is nothing but an attempt to wag the dog and try to create racial discord prior to the 2022 elections. Hopefully the Republicans do not fall for it. Begin from the realization that Brown will likely be confirmed. That is just the math and Senate rules. Let's not stoop to the democrat's level of sleazy lies like an overly medicated democrat operative testifying she remembered something about someone, somewhere, around 40 years ago when she was drunk at a high school party. Closely examine Brown's record of legal judgements and point out her far left views. However honestly, that will be far too wonky for most American's to care. Now if video's of her "partying" with Hunter Biden surface, well,,,,,
But with the expectation that her record is clean just in the top 2% most Whacko Progresssive left viewpoint and not indicative of mainstream America, the Republican's must be smart. They must not take the "race bait". Fully expect that when a Republican Senator asks a simple question about Brown's ruling on a taxation law case, NYT, CNN, WAPO and NBC will scream "racism". In the report below Lindsey Graham hints at a reasonable and smart approach. James Clyburn, Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott all supported South Carolina Judge Michelle Childs as their choose. Childs is not a conservative, she is a liberal but appears far more mainstream in her views, rather than squad level views of Brown. Hopefully given the Brown pick, Graham could offer Biden 100% Republican approval if he changes to a Childs nomination. Wouldn't that be a nice change - a unanimously approved SCOTUS done through a respectful hearing.
IMO, Brown brings far more diversity to the table. In addition to her race and sex, she would bring geographic and educational diversity to the Court. Why can't a young woman or man in a southern, midwestern or rocky mountain law school aspire to be on the Supreme Court?. Why does it appear that there is a predisposition for the entitled Ivy League to receive preferences to this select group of nine?
Now the likelyhood of such a bipartisan compromise is virtually zero. Biden and the DC democrat power base do not want bipartisanship. They want racial, ethnic and sexual division and full control of the American people. With the midterm elections coming up, this would be a way for the Republicans to shine light on the true motivations of the democrat party. That they, the ruling elite should rule all of the country from the beltway. That the will of DC, New York, California, Massuchusetts, the Ivy League and Mainstream media should be imposed upon all states. People in states like Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, Idaho, etc. should do what the smarter elite in New York tell them to do. Yes, let the 2022 congressional elections be about whether a candidate represents North Carolina or Ohio rather than New York and California? Not just Republicans will see this, but also independents and moderate democrats
It appears Lindsey Graham understands the big picture. Now it is on Mitch. He brilliantly saved us from Merrick Garland and shepherded through Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett. But he screwed the pooch in the Georgia Senate runoff, giving the democrat's defacto control of the Senate. Hopefully he follows Lindsey's lead. If he does this right, it could ensure a red wave in 2022.
