Biden filibustered a black woman judge’s nomination for two years

[Counselor706]

President Joe Biden has pledged to nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court, but he seems to have forgotten about the time he filibustered a black woman judge’s nomination to America’s second-highest court for two years.

Way back in 2003 through 2005, when Joe Biden was still a Democrat senator from Delaware, President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but due to her conservative views, Joe Biden and the Democrats filibustered her nomination, blocking a final vote on her confirmation. Bush nominated Brown for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2003 after she served as a justice on the California Supreme Court since 1996; she did not get confirmed until June 8, 2005. Newsweek provided more background on her conservative legal views:

"Brown was born to Alabama sharecroppers and grew up in the segregated South. During her college years, Brown was a single mother with views so left-wing that she later said they were almost Maoist.

Her views grew decidedly more conservative over the years, and she has defended using electric stun guns on criminals who act inappropriately in courtrooms. Brown also wrote opinions that opposed affirmative action and supported a state law that required girls younger than 18 to notify their parents before getting an abortion."

Joe's always been a racist pig, and beenpals with other racist pigs.

Wait...wait! Lemme guess: She ain't really black, right?

Well, I have said often, as have others, that Joe Biden has been a racist hypocrite his entire career.

Truman wasn't, and he was briefly a Klan member.

If it were truly racism, then her rulings on affirmative action and other rulings would not be a factor. You're literally making shit up.

And you won't be able to stop Biden's pick.

Only you could come up with a non-racist Klan member.

It was a matter of local politics, like working with Kansas City's Pendergast Machine. But it was Truman who, as president, desegregated the Armed Forces.

If his Job Title was: “Be a racist, sexist Coummunist,” then he scored a perfect score, GreenFace!

I bet you thought that sounded like a comeback.

Keep trying.

There wasn't any race card played here.....you can review the tapes if you want Democrats objected to her decisions on policies....which is part of the nomination process.

So Mitch McConnell is now vindicated by GreenFace for blocking Kenyan Born married to Big Mike, Oblunder’s nomination to the SCOTUS, of Merrick Garland! Awesome, GreenFace! Bravo! Well done! Proud of you! The GOP disagreed with Garland’s rulings, they did their job!

Good job on conflating two different things. You truly oversimplify the process and I'm sure you'll enjoy our new Supreme Court justice once she's confirmed.

Her skin color isn't the only deciding factor you know. ITs not like Biden is thinking of picking Beyoncee. And there isn't anything that states a Justice must have attended law school. ITs common sense mind you but no rule says you must.

That's you guy's problem. You think a black woman is inherently unqualified. . .until you can throw it up in someone's face that one was rejected at some point.

^^^^^^this

They don't see perspective as an additional qualification...because color subtracts qualifications to them
