I know what I would like to happen before Christmas.

13 percent of the country equals app. one black SC Justice, if you want to play those nonsense rules. They’re fairly represented then.

Besides, I’ve already done my part.

I donated twice to affirmative action by getting robbed in my cab 2 times by obama’s sons and daughters.

Both times I was DUMB enough to put wallet on passenger seat after fixing money.

I would die before i’d hand over my money. Short sighted and not fair to those i would leave behind. Yeah, I guess. But I just couldn’t.

I think we need an albino Mongolian sheepherder (whose dog is named grep) on the Supreme Circus!

Next to intergalactic Ferengi, the most underrepresented minority on the planet.

“Roland Martin, Host of NewsOne Now caught up with Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. and got his take on President Barack Obama appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court.”

OK, if I must, I’ll settle for this one:

How about this Jesse -—

There are currently no Protestants on the Supremes!

There were 6 Catholics (before Scalia’s death) and 3 Jews (Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elena Kagen).

So Jesse, how about a Baptist or Methodist!!!!!

Jesse, you hero, who “needs his nuts cut out”, passed over liberal black women twice and you said zilch. Too late.

Which candidate is the least likely to make deals with or be pressured by these shakedown artists? Which candidate is most likely to effectuate the systemic and cultural changes this country needs? Which candidate is capable of re-tethering the educational system and seedpod back to the founders and constitutionalism?

Thanks for proving he’s not a racist.

Thanks also for putting Jim’s forum at risk by hot-linking a Getty image to the forum.

BTW, though I know as conservatives we dont believe in quotas we do take pride in our heritage being represented sometimes.

I’m Roman Catholic of Italian ancestry.

A Protestant asked why there are six Catholics and three Jewish people on the SC. Where’s her guy :)

It is odd, right? But haven’t most presidents been protestant?

Besides JFK, only protestants, no? Ans some catholic he was. Although I hear he was pro life but that was before my time. Listened to Nixon/JFK debate and he sounded like a 2016 liberal to me.

I dont care, I just want a good president. Just wondering if that’s true.

Janice Rogers Brown - Hated by all the Right People

Born in Greenville, Alabama, Brown is an Alabama sharecropper’s daughter who attended majority African American schools as a child. Her family refused to enter places of business that segregated blacks. Liberal organizations including the NAACP, the Feminist Majority Foundation, People For the American Way, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the National Organization for Women called her views extreme right-wing, reflecting political and ideological differences.

Hey Jesse!

We already have 2 Unqualified women on the Court.

Did you support Justice Thomas’ elevation to the Court?

Ya....didn’t think so.

Thank you for your biased opportunism.

I agree. Definitely not Trump. He’s in favor of making deals.

Link may not take you exactly where I expected it to.

Look for this heading.

The shift to a Catholic majority, and non-Protestant Court

Jackson is a racist hate monger and grafter.

Thanks for proving he's not a racist.

If that's the only thing you see then you have a very active imagination, especially since there are also pics of him chilling with the Clintons, with Al Sharpton, and with Charlie Rangel. He also has praised Hillary and Pelosi. But perhaps to you that just means he isn't sexist either....lol
