On Wednesday, an army of Justice Ginsburg’s former law clerks, all dressed in black, honored their mentor by lining up as “honorary pallbearers” on the front steps of the Supreme Court when her casket arrived. It was an impressive display.
However, Christian Mitchell, Illinois’ Deputy Governor, noticed a “jarring lack of ppl of color” among the former Ginsburg clerks.
This wasn’t because African-American former Ginsburg clerks declined to serve as honorary pallbearers. It was because, in her 27 years on the Supreme Court, Ginsburg apparently hired only one African-American clerk — one out of approximately 150. That, by the way, is one more than she reportedly hired during her 13 years as a federal court of appeals judge.
From this record, Mitchell concludes that “even heroes have blindspots.” If Ginsburg had been a conservative, he probably would have concluded that Ginsburg was a white supremacist.
However, the lack of black clerks in Ginsburg’s chambers should not, without more, be viewed as indicating a blind spot or racism. Is there any evidence that Ginsburg ever rejected a black applicant in favor of a white candidate with inferior credentials? Is there evidence of a pattern of selecting white applicants over black ones when the credentials were equal?
If not, then Ginsburg’s only “sins” were color blindness, merit hiring, and skepticism about the wonders of diversity.
It would have been nice, though, if Ginsburg had backed merit-based selections and color blindness, and been less impressed by the diversity-imperative, in cases involving other institutions.
*snicker*
Hah.
Look how he makes excuses for the leftist.
Amy Coney Barrett is the mother of two black children. She adopted two girls from Haiti.
Wasn’t part of her mythos, that in the ‘60s that she applied to be a Supreme Court Justice, and was rejected because she was a woman?
OMG can we PLEASE let this woman rest in peace? Hasn’t anyone heard of “don’t speak ill of the dead?”
Maybe there weren’t a lot of potential clerks to choose from. Who knows about the database she had to choose from?
It’s obvious the only color this black supremacist sees is black. Over a dozen Asian and Hispanic clerks on that list.

And the clerks name was........TOKEN.
Bull Connor had more blacks at his funeral.
Yes, I have. It a meaningless platitude.
"Maybe there weren't a lot of potential clerks to choose from"
Don't excuse leftists, pile on.
I'll be dead so I won't care.
Ginzburg was not blind. She did view life howver through a distorted vile prism. She acquiesced and encouraged abortion including gruesome third trimester baby killings. She openly stated that abortion would diminish the numbers of “undesirable” groups. She celebrated homosexuality and all its perverse permutations. She distorted and bent the US Constitution to destroy and weaken the American nation, its underlying principles and heritage. She hated most decent Americans. She hurt this nation badly.
Oh, _ now_ they bring it up...to get in front of it.
Not a blind spot
Deliberate
She knew exactly why Sanger pushed for abortion and why the clinics are where they are
Hasn’t anyone heard of “don’t speak ill of the dead?
Ok. She’s dead, good.
- Illinois’ Deputy Governor,-
What is a deputy governor and why do we need one?
She didn’t hire black clerks for the same reason she didn’t want Obama to nominate her successor.
Any leftist would immediately question a list that had no Blacks on it, but as is typical of leftists those sentiments are for others, not them. Ginsburg was a typical leftist, and typically a racist in deed.
SCREW THAT! Democrats are bigots. To pretend otherwise is to lie to ourselves as well as the rest of the world. Being recently dead is no shield against the truth.
AA is the most hypocritical aspect of the massively hypocritical Leftist cognitive dissonance. The Communists blandly demand racial percentages, instead of ability in employment, and then are puzzled that their carefully racist management does not function.
Not the least bit surprised that RBG wouldn't have any Shvartzers working for her. She demanded racial purity for herself, and racial quotas for the rest of the country, and had the power to enforce it.
