Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that Republicans claiming President Joe Biden’s promise to choose a black woman for the Supreme Court is an example of affirmative action is both disrespectful and dishonorable.
Waters said, “For a black woman to become a Supreme Court justice would be one of the most historic and important things this country can do and experience. It is just so exciting to think about it. I guess what is it? Over 260 years, we’ve never even had a black woman nominated. And there are only two black males on the Supreme Court. To have a black woman, there would be a game-changer.”
During The Gallo Radio Show, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) said, “The irony is the Supreme Court is at the very same time hearing cases about this sort of affirmative racial discrimination, and while adding someone who is the beneficiary of this sort of quota, the majority of the court may be saying at large, it’s unconstitutional. We’ll see how that irony works out.”
Waters said, “It’s so disrespectful. The way he’s coming out is outdated. Even the most conservative member of the Supreme Court and Republicans know that it is beyond time to diversify the Supreme Court of America. And the absence of a woman, a black woman, means that it is not diversified. You don’t have at the table the voices of everyone in this country that should be represented.”

And the Democrats fought like H@ll to keep Clarence Thomas off the court.
If she wants a black woman on the court so badly, see her campaign for Janice Brown or Condoleezza Rice.
It's not a claim, it's a fact. Picking someone based upon their skin color and sex is the definition of Affirmative Action.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up”
Barack Obama
It may be the first time I've seen Clarence Thomas crack a smile! :-)
Even in these post-modern times, the truth is still the truth.
Maxine Waters: For Whom the Bell Curves
That’s because he knows he is both black men on the Supreme Court.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
“see her campaign for Janice Brown or Condoleezza Rice.”
Or Carol Swain.
They're playing chess.
They actually don't give a crap whether the nominee is a black female -- it could be a Martian. They want a socialist activist judge, and they know that if that person is sufficiently intersectional (e.g. black and female), they can call anyone opposing the nomination "racist" and/or "sexist".
In a few years "transgender" will enter the mix. We are so screwed.
That’s a fact Jack. :-)
LOL!! You win the thread!
Where are the midgets on the court now that Ginsberg is gone?
Don’t bring a low IQ to a political argument....
You want to piss off a Conservative? Tell them a lie.
You want to piss off a Leftist? Tell them the truth.
Well, Mad Maxine, maybe it was considered too risky after Joseph R. Biden filibustered Janice Rogers Brown's nomination to the Court of Appeals for two years.
Biden's insane and insulting attacks on Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing probably threw cold water on the nomination of blacks too.
If only Robert Byrd (D) was still alive. He could tell us who the second black justice is.
“For Whom the Bell Curves”
Very Good....
Mad Maxine can’t handle the truth.
Hey, Maxine, let's say you need brain surgery.
Yeah, I know we'll need an electron microscope, for that.
Do you want the best black, female surgeon or the best surgeon?
Hmmm?
