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.

I do not think these little girls rented their own robes, and staged their own demonstration. Oh, and how nice! they all have that frilly junk that RBG had on her robes.

Staged by the Wapos? Or DNCs. Same people who come in U-hauls with the signs for Antifa?

Totally staged and paid for by Prog-leftists.

How about Janice Rogers Brown?

Good judge, but she's 71 years old and retired three years ago.

Not at all. Justice Thomas will likely retire next year and President Trump may will appoint a black woman to the seat.

What do you expect from the journalists at the Washington Compost. Judge Barrett is a thoughtful jurist who tries to follow the vision of our Founders for a Constitutional Republic. Why does the skin color of a justice count more than the character. The parent article shows the bankrupt nature of intersectionality and cult of victim hood.

“Is it too late to hope for a Black woman on the Supreme Court?”

Well there’s nothing that prevents you from “hoping” anytime you want, so no.

Justice Kagan could just start to “identify” as black, and presto!

Well, hey, we did have a great black woman destined for the Supreme Court, but Planned Parenthood did to her just as Planned Parenthood does to most black girls and boys in this country. Planned Parenthood killed her. If you wanted a different result, let us stop Planned Parenthood from killing babies. Let us recognize the right to life, applicable even to babies yet unborn.

Do others on this party line remember our advocacy for Janice Rogers Brown?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg would have never, NEVER put her personal will before the US Constitution. This whole “last wish” thing is pure bullsh!t. Think about it...RBG knew the constitution backwards and forwards. Moreover she knew her position is to protect it and the law absolutely and never her own personal feelings before it.

Did not know that. She would have made a great Supreme Court Justice.

I hope that all these little girls are working really hard in school and that they study study study, especially the constitution in law school, become lawyers, become judges and maybe someday one of them will be a supreme court justice. Please do not expect it though just because you would be the first in some category to become anything.
