There will be no fight as she is a liberal replacing a liberal. Dems have 50 votes (I think only 49 for now with the senator out), but some republicans will vote for her.

If she was selected to replace a conservative justice, she would get zero support and would have to wait for the senator Lujan to get back to get the 50th vote.

Even though she is qualified. She is hardly the “most qualified” overall. There are many other judges that had longer records and more experience. Judge Srinivasan for one…. But his gender and race did not fit the bill.

You do know Trump could have picked him, he did have more than one chance to pick… oh but that’s right neither his race nor his gender fit the bill. Take your racism, find your rock and crawl back under it.

If another justice retires or dies, perhaps he’ll get the nomination. But Brown Jackson is well qualified and as there have only been four women (and one handmaiden) on the Court (vs 108 White men). It’s fair for the court to begin to represent the people in this country, and regrettably in the case of Srinivasan, men have been over-represented.

The main issue is the way it was done. Biden announcing the nomination will only be a black woman is what is damaging. She will always be seen as the affirmative action choice, and he did her a great disservice handling it that way.

I will speak on behalf of all brilliant and more than qualified AAs in the US. You are not in her league and she isn’t thinking about you or your narrow beliefs at all. She is too busy reaping the fruits and rewards of her, gift of superior intellect, hard work and excellence.

Life’s not always fair and yes some people really are smarter than others. And you and everyone else in the room knows it and these people often aren’t in the package you think they should be.

You are very welcome.

+1, but not AA. Amy Coney Barrett was an “affirmative action” choice. Not chosen for her skill, temperament, experience, nor intelligence, but rather for her age, gender, religious bona fides, and membership in the FedSoc. FedSoc is THE affirmative action society for mediocre judicial minds. Without the “set aside”, she would have never even been selected to clerk.

Trump could have selected the first Asian man to the bench but he chose her instead. It’s not the Democrats responsibility to make sure every possible category of man gets nominated first before we consider choosing from our largest and most constituent base.

Jackson is brilliant, qualified, and can run laps around what passes for the right wing intelligentsia these days. Her selection was inspiring and historic. Sorry that triggers you all, or that you feel the need to minimize it to make yourself feel better.

Why would they be ashamed? They’re quite proud of their racism and sexism, and no Black woman will ever be qualified in their eyes.

The rest of us normal people can be only impressed with what some people do with their lives.

They are damaged humans if they feel no shame.

She is more qualified than any of Trump's picks were, and for that matter more qualified than many others currently sitting on SCOTUS were when they were nominated.

The handmaiden was intended to be a middle finger to all intelligent women.

Judge Brown Jackson will be a delightful opposite to that.

NP. And you speak for very few, or the ones closely aligned to the Clarence Thomas' school of thought. It's sad that in 2022, you are so insecure and still seek the approval of others. Really girl, you're worried that they consider you an affirmative action pick. You are that insecure of your achievements that you use precious braincells for that line of thought. Pitiful

DP. The whole point is that acts like Biden's can take the sheen off of her excellence, which should stand by itself. Instead, Biden had to do his "beneficent white dude" act; something not altogether unfamiliar to white liberals. What benefit was gained from announcing it the way he did except that which accrued only to Biden? Lame.

Was the sheen taken off of Sandra Day O'Conner when Ronald Reagan announced he was looking to appoint a woman to the Court and then proceeded to only consider women candidates?
