This weekend, the nation will honor the legacy of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died at age 87; soon thereafter, former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign must seize the moment and stake out a landmark candidate to replace the beloved jurist. The nominee must be someone who advances the cause of racial and gender justice and quells Republican efforts to bum-rush a replacement.
What it means is that the Biden campaign cannot simply propose to nominate a woman of traditional qualifications for the court. If it is to make history, then it must spotlight a woman who embodies the dream of the civil rights movement. That person is former first lady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama.
As the nation grapples with protests for racial justice, Obama is best positioned to symbolize the Afro-American promise. Her roots in the authentic experience of the Black urban migration connects her story to the story of pioneer civil rights figures such as Mary McLeod Bethune. Bethune rose from humble origins on a cotton plantation in South Carolina to found the Bethune-Cookman Institute in Daytona Beach, Fla., and to become an adviser to former President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression.
In Obama, concerned Americans would be comforted by her well-known intellectual acumen and dedication to the goals of equal justice with fairness. She is singularly qualified to occupy the seat that inherits the ideals of Ginsburg.

Somalians. These libs are TRASH.”
Caused my Aunt to move to Hendersonville. She said they were driving new cars and getting free everything.

Michael Obama has never served so much as a single minute as a judge. That makes him singularly qualified to sit in RBG’s seat.
Well.....
We already have at least one active on the USTA tennis courts.

Exactly. In 1991 when I bought my attorney’s home here I recall Belle Meade and Green Hills being better then Hermitage. Of course, Brentwood and other areas south are very nice. I saw the Hispanics come in to Antioch in the early 90’s. Bush SR’s NAFTA was bad. His son let 500 Mexican Trucking firms drive all over America. GW Bush is TRASH. In 2002-3 I saw 100’s of 18 wheelers on our interstates overnight. Next, we got cheap Mexican labor building new homes here. Now they work building commercial property. American jobs were stolen.

I came back a few years ago and went down to West Nashville to look at my old neighborhood and was given the stink eye by the Mexicans building the houses. MY hometown and MY old neighborhood and they think they’re running things.
