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

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.

Systemic racism to pledge a race to fill a seat.

I’m sure Trump will be happy to consider strongly conservative black women for the next open slot when Breyer retires.

Sure, as soon as Sotomayor vacates the seat.

Well, does she have to be good and love the Constitution? Or does she just have to be black?

You can’t get much more divisive than this. But it’s all Trump’s fault.

Whats skin color got to do with it?

Seriously.

When is the wrapper more important than the present?

When you go to home depot or wherever and buy something, is the box its in more important than the item you bought?

Janice Roger Brown would have been a great one, but she is too old now.
In her prime the Democrats bottled her up (preventing her from getting her appointment to the US District Court) for two years - since they couldn't have a black conservative woman on the high court (in this case the District Court - but clearly a stepping stone to the Supreme Court).
The Dems are, by and large, just an evil lot.
