Someone didn’t read up on KBJ when she was nominated, did you. |
When he was appointed, he was a token to take the place of Thurgood Marshall. Thomas did not have a stellar career and should not have been nominated. |
Biden said he was only appointing a black woman. That’s the very definition of token. |
Only if you’re a racist who thinks representation is always tokenism. |
Only if you refuse to accept that Biden isn’t committed to diversity because of your own prejudices and feelings of grievance. |
So Biden was "committed to diversity" but Bush "appointed a Token" seems reasonable…. |

Look at the respective qualifications of the two justices. Also neither KBJ nor her husband have tried to overthrow the government, so the proof is in the pudding. |
I have a different definition of token. I think it is someone chosen for their membership in a particular group but with the intent that it not actually change anything in favor of that group. Eg, a women chosen for an all male board of directors who is plainly selected because she will not challenge misogyny or advocate for greater female representation is a token female on the board. By that definition, CT is the token, not KBJ or TM (although admittedly race was a factor in each of their selections). |
+1 the only two judges Bush considered for Marshall’s seat were Thomas and a Latino man. |
Trump said he would only appoint a woman in 2020, and he did. Let's here you agree that ACB is a token. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/19/politics/trump-ruth-bader-ginsburg-vacant-seat-fill/index.html |
The only person considered last time was KBJ, so if CT is a token, so is KBJ by definition. |
Except for the fact she wasn’t to only person considered and interviewed. The gaslighting never stops, does it? |
| Kavanaugh was the token sexual predator appointee. |
