A Hard-to-Obstruct Supreme Court Nominee: Diane Humetewa FTW
Huffington Post ^ | 2/16/16 | R. Kyle Alagood

Posted on 02/18/2016 2:41:40 PM PST by Califreak

ination to the Supreme Court made by President Barack Obama, the White House is surely gearing up for a strategic nomination and epic battle for the future of the highest court in the country. Obama needs to move forward quickly with a transformative nominee who stands a chance of success on Capitol Hill. Diane Humetewa, U.S. District Judge for the District of Arizona is perhaps the most likely person to advance through Senate confirmation during Obama's final year in office. Nominating her would transform the federal judiciary, bring Native Americans into the highest echelons of political society, and actually stand a chance of succeeding.

Who is Diane Humetewa? And what makes her a difficult nomination for the Senate to obstruct?

Judge Humetewa is a Hopi lawyer who began her career as a victim-witness advocate for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

Probably not.

This is the only name I’ve heard that doesn’t terrify me.

She’d have to be a damn sight better than Holder, Lynch, Kamala Harris or his choice of sharia loving individuals.

I “self-identify” as an American Indian Judge, so I should be considered for a position on the Supreme Court.

Yep. Diversity. That is the ticket. Screw ability, that is so much white privilege. This is a brave new world.

We will need a woman, a black, a gay, a transgender, an Asian, a Jew, an Hispanic, another gay (lesbian), and a communist.

Then we can all sit back and await the approaching utopia.

Skipping right from District Court, which is a trial court position, to the Supreme Court? Without any experience writing appellate opinions at the state or federal level, or significant experience practicing g before such courts??

Uh, no. Not qualified.

You can bet that anyone Obama nominates will not be a constitutional constructionist but more than likely a constitutional deconstructionist. The left hates the Constitution and what it does to hamper their plans to assume total power. If the Pubbies do not stop him they will be accomplices to the ruination of the Founders plans.

The notion that she’s been vetted because she already serves as a federal judge is rather silly. That there needs to be a Native American seat on the Supreme Court is really silly. (Seriously? By the time you give a black seat, a Cuban seat, a Mexican-American seat, a Jewish seat, a Moslem seat (You KNOW that’d be coming), a Pacific-American seat, a Native-American seat, a LGBTQ seat (apart from the wise Latina... we can’t have multiple check-boxes filled by one person! That’s cheating!), and an Asian-American seat, there’ll be no seat for white gentiles!) I really don’t think the public is going to buy that there needs to be an American-Indian seat.

The only thing interesting about this proposal is precisely why Obama will never fulfill it: she may not be a radical leftist. And if he does appoint her, we know he knows something we don’t.
