Is it too late to hope for a Black woman on the Supreme Court?
Washington Post ^ | 10/26/2020 | Petula Dvorak

These young Black girls should have been celebrating the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.

Instead, as the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett was well on its way, these girls — all 100 of them — got dressed up in judicial robes to launch a protest.

“Honor Her Wish,” their little masks read.

“Her wish,” of course, was Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying request that her seat wouldn’t be filled until after the election. Joe Biden has pledged to put a Black woman on the Supreme Court if he wins in November.

But President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s hypocritical move to fill Ginsburg’s seat a mere eight days before the election means the 100 Black girls who have never seen a Black woman on the court will see instead a woman who looks nothing like them helping to decide huge issues in their futures.

We are past the point of basing anything on skin color.
Demonrats were just absent the day the brains were handed out.

The Dems might as well have been running a Clark Bar for President. It probably would be as sentient as their current candidate.

If 12.7% of US is black. Then 1 out of 9 is about right at 11.1%.

If 16.7% is hispanic, then 1 out of 9 is again about right.

Women are 50.25%, so we are a little low at 3 out of 9 - 33.3%,

No one can confirm that was her dying wish. All we have is hearsay from propagandists

Honor her wish would be never putting a black on the supreme court. RBG was a racist and a bigot. That’s her legacy.

Make those kids listen to MLK’s speech about judging the content of character instead of the color of skin....about 100 times in a row.

Timing is everything. If a black womanizer is the best qualified when an opening occurs, then sure. But best qualified should always be the reason a person is nominated.

I seriously doubt that the purported quote was Ginsburg’s ‘final wish’.

(Isn’t she the same one who said that we “should recognize that a president is elected for four years not three.”

Hey, Petula Dvorak. Sorry to break the news to you, honey, but your precious Ginsburg never even had a “person of color” to clerk for her.

IN 30 YEARS not a single POC. OVER ONE HUNDRED CLERKS IN 30 YEARS!!!

But, you go girl! Celebrate her life!

Somehow I don’t think they’d support Candace Owens. What they really want is a Stacy Abrams

ACB has a daughter who may qualify once she finishes law school and has some judicial experience.
