It is whataboutisim, no amount of spin will make it anything but.
It has ZERO to do with her being black OR female and you damn well know it. This is all an attempt by the left to distract from one simple fact. Biden looked at only one subset of jurists to make his pick.
It tells me that if she was in a candidate pool that held ALL qualified jurists, she MAY not have been the best candidate. We will never know, as he didnât consider anyone unless they checked two boxes, black and female.
Go ahead and play the whataboutisim card to Trump. I REALLY hate that you are forcing me to even consider defending him. It actually shows how weak @your argument really is.
In addition the bar association gave Ronald Reaganâs judicial nominees Richard Posner and Frank H. Easterbrook its lowest possible ratings of âqualified/not qualifiedâ,[37] and Judges Posner and Easterbrook have gone on to become the two most highly cited judges in the federal appellate judiciary.
So you think they grade candidates but canât show us any of the grades. Nor do you seem to understand how the criteria for how they grade the candidates. Is it adherence to conservative principles or is it qualifications for judgeship?Nor can you show them grading candidates outside their preferred list.
You just see the outcome (announcement) and then assumed he didnât look at any other candidates. He simply announced the final pool of candidates would be a black woman.
Sure. But you canât show any of the grades. You canât even know if they grade candidates outside their list of preferred candidates. You also miss that they are grading them for adherence to their politics, which is fine, but quite different than grading just on qualifications.
Itâs clear they are a 100% partisan group. Now, you can claim the ABA is partisan but not like the Federalist Society. The ABA has given very good ratings to many, many conservative nominees. Has the Federalist Society done anything like that for liberal nominees?
No, your attempt at equivalence is summarily dismissed.
The Federalist Society fills the need to find judges that match their political views. Thatâs fine, but not in any way similar yo what the ABA is doing.
That was after he already looked at possible candidates and had narrowed the list, ie, had already decided who it was going to be. He didnât limit his search to just women.
