I keep looking at Supreme Courts and I am having trouble seeing the excluded men and the excluded white people. 

Whilst true that these categories can be shallow ones, it's the deeper differences of experience that correlate with those outward appearances that are essential to having a broadly representative court.  And don't forget that part of the experience of being, say, black is in HOW THE LEGAL SYSTEM TREATS YOU and what biases lie therein.  Which, by gosh, might have some bearing on matters of jurisprudence.

It is just a tempest in a right wing teapot. The right has decided there is no political harm in arguing African American women should just know their place and are running with it.

If that is the case then limiting the search to campaign pledges results in voters rejecting that approach.
Ask Kamala Harris how that has worked out for her.

Red and Kid want more rats on the Supreme Court. They like cold blooded fascists who will inflict the damage on the people of the United States that they are too cowardly and powerless to inflict on their own.

LOL!
The Biden track  record on SCOTUS nominations is known for his blatant  hypocrisy.
To wit: Janet Rogers Brown.
She was nominated to the DC Court of Appeals ( a frequent stepping stone to SCOTUS) by George W. Bush in 2003.
She was filibusterd by Biden, Byrd,and Obama , among  others, whose sole purpose was to keep the GOP from having a chance to eventually put her on the Supreme Court.  Brown won confirmation eventually  but only after a two year confirmation process.

[LarryBnDC]

Trump was the 1st POTUS to name a SCOTUS justice in his 1st month.

Because no POTUS was ever blocked from doing so before.

Only the black one.

2 years?

Mon Dieu! 

[facilitatorn]

Kid wants Biden to put another rapist on the Court. Bart does not have anyone to share his conquests with.

[kidcarter8]

Nope.

I am fine with one of the women mentioned.

I prefer it not be Ifill.

Should I repeat this every hour for you?

Just fine. She got elected, so it does not appear, outside of your right wing rage machine, anyone gave a.fuck about Bidens selection criteria.

And? Because Biden participated in a filibuster he is a hypocritr because... reasons? The right wing rage machine spins on.

Well, McConnell was filibusfering every Court nominee until the filibuster rule was reformed. So, good that this sort of gamesmanship is gone for Court appointments. It should be gone for.everything.

You seem to be spinning your wheels.
Biden only had one reason to filibuster.  To keep the GOP of being in  position to appoint at black woman to SCOTUS.

Well No voter had a choice. Harris came in a package. You want to review her poll numbers today?
