Biden Praises Retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer - WSJ

Mr. Biden said that he has been studying candidates and their backgrounds, but said he had made “no decision except one—the person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court.”

Asians and Hispanics need not apply?

A deeply ironic public use of racial preferences on the same week the Supreme Court ignored the Administration’s pleas and took up a case on the use of racial preferences in college admissions.

The President has sole discretion to determine the criteria of a SCOTUS nominee. If the President wants to select a nominee of a particular demographic, that’s his prerogative.

But to kick off the process with such exclusionary criteria, and an absolute screener based on skin tone and sex is an utterly unserious political decision made by a deeply unpopular President. It won’t fix inflation, the border, crime, Russia, or empty shelves. Voters get daily reminders of those dysfunctions in every town in America.

Regardless, Biden and his nominee should sent a fruit basket to Mar-a-Lago to thank Trump for completely whiffing those two Georgia Senate races. Couldn’t have done it without you, Donald!
