The rest of the conference went along these lines. One White male raised his hand and said he had always wanted to be a judge but was beginning to feel discouraged. He asked the Chairman if a White male had any chance. The Chairman answered “we don’t want our judges looking like the portraits in this room.” So much for becoming a judge in New York.

And somehow, that’s not considered discrimination. People here will defend that

It may very well be indeed a form of discrimination. What’s amazing is that people like you never considered it a problem until it was pointed in your direction. You did not care when it was only white men followed by only white men and white women selected. Only now do you care about discrimination.

Oh no. A White man was moderately discouraged. Despite most judges still being White men.

White men are almost never nominated for state judgeships in New York. I did consider it to be a problem when there were less minority judges but I never thought being a straight White man would be a disqualification.

People like me? I’m an AA Woman you fool. And as predicted, people here are defending it. Discrimination based on race or gender is either wrong, or it’s not. It’s not ok in one situation, but not ok in others.

I think there’s a happy medium. I’m very glad that the U.S. Supreme Court will finally have a Black woman. But when it becomes systematic, when for decades it’s all but impossible for a straight White man to become a New York State judge, it’s too much.

Are we talking about the same kind of judge and the same state? because the latest data shows that 69% of State Judges in NY are....white males.

I already said that I’m very happy that an African American woman will be serving on the Supreme Court. Read what I wrote.

I did. You didn’t read what I wrote, given your weird “I already said I’m very happy…” when I didn’t imply you were. Although a hit dog hollers.

There are too many parallels as it is, so this one justice, who can’t tip the scales on major cases at the present time anyway because of the 6-3 majority, isn’t worth a fight.

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.

What is the foundation for your belief that Judge Srinivasan is more qualified for SCOTUS than Judge Jackson?

It does not appear that anyone has been able to answer this question.

Don’t need to read the resume. Looks like we already know why she was picked. I really don’t understand why anyone wants to be part of a party that panders like this to race.

You just don’t want to read her résumé because it’s better than many of the people the guys you voted for put on the court.

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.

I’m the one you are replying to. I am an AA Woman you fool. You do not speak for all of us.

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

I am a other liberal black woman that wishes Biden would have not announced his intention to nominate a black woman. Why not just move in silence? What was the point to announcing your intention a month in advance? Created unnecessary cloud on a VERY qualified, great choice.

Why was there an announcement in February when she won't take a seat until October? Another tail wag the dog moment.
