#black women rock
“When President Biden nominates the first Black woman as a justice for SCOTUS, all of a sudden questions about "qualifications” emerge. I just want white people to know how offensive, ignorant and stupid this question has been, and will always be, to Black people.“
Continuation…
"Of course, when #Komrade45 nominated NINE people deemed "unqualified” by the American Bar Association, outside the Democrats of the Senate Judiciary Committee, no one even ASKED about “qualifications.”
SEVEN were approved for LIFETIME POSITIONS.
President Obama nominated ZERO unqualified candidates for the federal bench. Republicans REFUSED to allow VOTES for Obama’s nominees. Majority Leader Harry Reid had no choice but to change the filibuster to a simple majority for these individuals to be confirmed.
And good old #MoscowMitch lowered it for SCOTUS justices, the qualifications of (checks notes) ZERO were questioned (or at least I didn’t see any questions) - Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Comey Barrett.
During the campaign President Biden was asked if he’d support a Black woman as nominee for SCOTUS. He gave a straight “yes” response. Bernie Sanders, when asked the EXACT question, initially demurred before saying “well she must be a progressive.
President Biden has nominated an unprecedented 8 Black women for federal courts of appeals.
Questioning the qualifications of Black professional woman, who historically have always been OVERQUALIFIED for ANY position, is historically obtuse, ignorant, stupid and yes RACIST.”
