Waters: ‘Disrespectful, Dishonorable’ to Claim Black Female SCOTUS Pick Is Affirmative Action
Breitbart ^ | Jan 2022 | PAM KEY30

Posted on 01/30/2022 6:12:09 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

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 The way he’s coming out is outdated.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.”

Again, a President picking a black woman to be a Justice on the Supreme Court wouldn’t necessarily be affirmative action. But a President saying that he’d only consider a black woman for the post certainly is.

Her being suitable for the job is no higher than the third box ticked off. Is she black, and is she a woman are the first two. Her possibly being the best qualified is but a tertiary consideration.

Of course it's Affirmative Action...

And worse Biden will probably push some angry black commie forward - then call us racist for objecting to a commie on our court.

260 years? So the first SC nomination was in 1761? Maxine once again shows that for her, facts are optional.

Excuse me, 1762. I am still getting used to 2021, let alone 2022.

How black does a black nominee have to be to qualify? Half-black like Obammy? Match a sherwin williams sample color chart of a certain shade?

Gimme a break you sad race hustling biggots. Take a long vacation to Siberia and then trudge straight north.

Dum Dum doesn’t know that the Supreme Court is not a representative body.

They want to tell themselves is that a black woman is smart and accomplished enough to be on the SCOTUS. I have no doubt that there are black women out there that are. But you don’t make a pledge to put one on the bench and say she was selected from all possible candidates. That simply isn’t true.

Biden’s pledge set black women back by about 30 years.

Indeed. Because of Biden’s stated unlawful desire to subvert the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Equal Employment Opportunity Act) - any black he picks will be immediately dismissed as only there due to AA. Any assistant democrats that “reach across the aisle” endorsing Biden’s renegade lawbreaking, should be primaried

There’s no reason to have ANY of THOSE women on the court. All of those women are disasters. Kagan is there because she’s a key democrat voting block member ~white lesbian. Sotomayor - Mexican voting block - the Handmaiden- Supermom to adopted from 3rd World kids

You're right.

Biden and his goons could not cause this much division in the country without it being intentional.

His pick will be a commie.
