Just like Trump did with his choices. Only he was virtue signalling to the fundamentalist white Christians.

 

The difference may be that Trump was smart enough to NOT actually voice his reasons.  Biden, for his 50 years of experience in Washington, could not do so. He had to, for various reasons, explicitly telegraph what he was doing. There were political debts to be paid, and Biden paid them.

  • Anything is better than Trumps Ultra Right Wing conservatives.   Religious zealots on the Supreme Court are like the Taliban extremist in Afghanistan.

    A welcome return to appointing Justices who are qualified for the post.

    "A welcome return..."    You're joking, of course. When in American history were Supreme Court nominations anything other than crass attempts at pushing forward some faction's political or s

It wasn't humorous, most people are horrified.

They don't already have role models? They need more at the expense of black women who have never had any? You really can't get the point can you?

Why does a role model need to be the same colour as you ?

Judges are also there to judge , it isn't their job to be role models

A lying scum bag like Kavanaugh on the bench.

 

Apparently, Brett Kavanaugh made a promise to US Senator Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who says she’s pro-choice, that he would not vote to overturn Roe if appointed to the Supreme Court.

This is getting a lot of attention, because Collins is getting a lot of attention. She said she believed he wouldn’t go there.

Could you be more specific ?

What are the  "basic constitutional rights and freedoms based upon their gender " which have been denied to Females ?

Denied the right to vote is an example.

Trump.did state his intent to kill Roe v Wade.with his court picks.

Did you somehow miss that?

As shes a judge, she should be honest and truthful at all times and give her opinion on certain subjects , Judges shouldn't avoid giving an opinion because they dont want to upset certain people .

   She should air her opinion, rather than refusing to answer 

She should stick to what’s relevant and not rise to politicized baiting.

 

And when she does this we get outrage from the rightwing.

I do agree that it was a an appalling situation in 1960's segregated USA , but that is a long time ago and a different generation .

   You would be peeved if a woman got promoted for the sole reason she was a woman and you missed out because you are male .

  That situation is very likely to have happened in this promotion "to a top Judge) , three woman got nominated for the sole reason they were female , which means its quite probable that some males missed out on being nominated and promoted  , because they weren't female 

They were not ‘nominated for the sole reason they are women’, stop making stuff up.

She was concerned about upsetting the left wing by stating what a woman was . 

  There would have been outrage from certain groups , is she answered the question honestly

You asked for an example of people being denied their Constitutional rights based on Gender, I did just that.

 

Now, is Justice Brown Jackson qualified for the job?

Yes, she is fully qualified .

She fully met all the requirements for the position , as set by Biden .

Qualified on both requirements

Exactly. Some focus on just one aspect of her reply and miss the most important part in my opinion, which was:

 

"as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide.' In other words, she said context matters – which is true in both biology and society. I think that's a pretty good answer for a judge"

That'a a lie. 

She was fully qualified as a judge.

I consider your attacks racist.

As if many black women weren't fully qualified.

Excellent, but it doesn’t dent the ‘outrage’.

It's a great answer but its way too intelligent for the low information right wing culture warriors.

Their current number one political scapegoat is transgender women.

You may be right, although Trump obviously was not going to offend half the voting base of America by stating he was appointing justices who would overturn abortion, keep guns, and discriminate against minorities.

So you actually thought he meant he might pick a black female burger flipper?

 

Stop insinuating that this new justice is not a very qualified jurist.

She wasnt asked to make a judgement though, she was asked her personal opinion

But you said earlier ‘Sole’ reason.

 

Hence my suggestion you stop making stuff up.

I do apologise for my mistake , I should have said "the two reasons" , rather than the "sole reason"
