With Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement, President Biden is now following through on his campaign promise that if a vacancy occurs on his watch, he will nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court.
“The person I will nominate will be somebody with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity,” Biden said last week. “And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court.
“It’s long overdue, in my view,” he added. “I made that commitment during the campaign for President, and I will keep that commitment.”
Notably, she’s the favorite pick of Rep. James Clyburn, the No. 3 House Democrat who reportedly only gave Biden his endorsement ahead of the South Carolina primary on the condition that Biden pledge to nominate a black woman to the high court.
“I can’t think of a better person for President Biden to consider for the Supreme Court than Michelle Childs. She is considered to be a fair-minded, highly-gifted jurist. She is one of the most decent people I have ever met,” Graham said.
Graham also praised Childs' educational background.
"It would be good for the court to have somebody who's not at Harvard or Yale," he added. "She's a graduate of the University of South Carolina. A public-education background. She's been a worker's comp judge. She's highly qualified. She's a good character. And we'll see how she does if she's nominated. But I cannot say anything bad about Michelle Childs. She is an awesome person."
He’s such a gushing oriface.
State Bannon, and MTG, just skinned Graham alive on Real America’s Voice.
I would expect nothing less from Linda.
Thank you for playing along.
Diversity quotas do not make for excellence of skill or knowledge.
Spineless, opportunistic jerk.
I can think of plenty of better people - none that Biden would appoint, however.
Just as expected. Rino licjspttle.
The people of South Carolina are just retarded.
Re-electing Grahamnesty TWICE after his THREE amnesty votes.
He can’t think of a better President than Biden either.
John McCain’s understudy bloviating again.
Thank you South Carolina Republicans. Is this really the best you can do?
Heads up. Treasonous Lindsey Graham/Palmetto State ping
Odd. Turd burglars are usually such consistent and trustworthy people.
And no doubt, with all of the stated qualifications, this person will be some one who thinks just like Joe Biden. I am not sure this sounds like USSC material to me. Time will tell & we will see. As I see it, regardless of who may finally be picked, it must be someone with a strong feel for upholding the Constitution. Without that, the pick would be a complete loser IMHO.
I was at a party she attended. She slipped me and several others a roofie and abused us. I don’t remember any of the details though, but it happened.
Lindsay is the new Orrin Hatch, saying “if Bill Clinton nominates Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer, I’ll vote form them.”
And remember when Harry Reid tried this trick with Harriet Miers, and George W. Fell for it? And we revolted?
Graham is a worthless tool. But he’s sticking by his “principles” and he’s safely reelected, so...
Coming headline:
SCOTUS, further debased by Biden’s Affirmative Action hire, rules Affirmative Action hires are not constitutional.
