What an idiot.

The US Supreme Court is not,nor should it ever be concerned with or comprised of affirmative action hires, or “feel good” appointments. Rather, it should be comprised impartial, capable Constitutional jurists.

Somebody please shoot that idiot and put him out of my misery.

What a douche.

.... Supreme Court isn’t supposed to look “More like America” ...... It’s supposed to look and represent “More like the Constitution.”

The left always uses “diversity” to try to pass the most radical left wing person in their group.

It never means they have a person who is exceptionally qualified with diverse legal skills.

she was "extremely grateful" for the addition to the Court of a butch dyke and an unabaxhed racist.

A small first step of diversity would be to consider folks from law schools other than Yale and Harvard.

I carried this same argument to my local paper. The editor ditched the article after the first day. A liberal professor
was talking religious diversity by putting a Hindu on the Supreme Court and talking historic symmetry, lol.

“49 of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention were Protestants and yet we don’t have one today on the Supreme Court. The Constitution states there should be no religious test for office, but there clearly is. We have six Catholics (was seven) and two Jews on the Supreme Court. I guess it’s fine for a liberal professor to pontificate about diversity on the court except when it comes to religious diversity. You would think the Secularist here would be appalled that one religious denomination rules the Supreme Court, but I’m sure that’s not the case.

Obama has proven himself to be such a partisan hack, I’m surprised he never nominated anyone from his “Christian” faith, after all Protestants make up over 51 percent of the population. George Stephanopoulos had to remind him of his “Christian” faith after declaring his “Muslim” faith on national television. Since we’re talking history here professor, maybe you can enlighten us on the history of Abraham Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, martial law, and arresting the chief justice of the Supreme Court during his era. Lincoln’s administration destroyed the separation of powers; destroyed the place of the Supreme Court in the Constitutional scheme of government and put the President, the military, and the executive branch of government in total control of American society. Strange how history repeats itself, this is just a preview.”

My sister told me that Whoopi Goldberg called Trump “the devil” on “The View” this morning.

Then, Joyless Behar called Trump supporters “racists.”

I’m all for ‘diversity’...

I want another black conservative, an Hispanic conservative, a Jewish conservative and maybe an Icelandic conservative or American Indian conservative.

I’m very open minded and accepting... I totally believe in ‘diversity’ and I’m superior to all people who don’t want the same kind of diversity I believe in....
