Sen. Lindsey Graham Weighs in on Possible SCOTUS Pick: ‘I Can’t Think of a Better Person for Biden to Consider’

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.”

Among the believed frontrunners is Judge J. Michelle Childs of the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.

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.

But that’s not the only support she’s getting. Among Republicans, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appeared to give the judge his wholehearted approval on “Face the Nation.”

“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."

Graham, in his unending quest for attention, said something provocative but without any real conviction..

Thank you for playing along.

I can think of plenty of better people - none that Biden would appoint, however.

Thank you South Carolina Republicans. Is this really the best you can do?

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.
