Affirmative action has a place in putting unqualified people in important positions which degrades society.

Imagine the outrage if Trump had said...

“I will only nominate a white male to the supreme court.”

That has no place in a merit based society.
African Americans such as Justice Thomas (to give but one exampe) have proven that even given their mistreatment, they can rise far above the average. Our job is to make sure that they all have the same opportunity

AA AA has destroyed the Afro Heritage minority by providing false and unearned equality.

Part of the plan to expand the court to more than nine. Every race on the planet must be represented.

The celebrate diversity crowd will only divide us further.

Rainbow unicorn court.

2 of 9 is 10% more than their percentage of the US.

This pro abortion guy Shapiro teaches law ( or his opinions) at Georgetown which ostensibly is a Catholic institution. The Jesuits have devolved into an agnostic joke.

It’s insulting!

Anyone who is nominated for their skin color, religion or ancestry should decline and say that is why...................

We already have the intellectual lightweight Sotomajor. Isn’t that enough?

Don’t forget that she will always have an asterisk next to her name and record. Asterisks need a job, too!

Not only will a pedo joe nomination be a token and have an EEO asterisk on her name and every ruling for her entire career, she will also be a reminder that is all sotomayor is - a token EEO hire.

SCOTUS should not represent the population, a justice should not represent their identity. As far as representation of the land, SCOTUS should represent one and one only component.

SCOTUS represents the Constitution.

Any deviation from that is the path towards tyranny.

Period. End of Story.

America was moving steadily to unite all Americans through the gradual elimination of racial discrimination and advancing opportunity and equality.

Then that progress was abruptly reversed when democrats, beginning with LBJ, decided to implement a racist strategy to gain political power by dividing us by skin color and creating envy, hate and fear between whites, blacks and browns.

In doing so they have destroyed our civil society, our government and our national unity and have brought America to the precipice.

Could there be a more racist act for an American president than to select a person for the Supreme court or for anything at all based primarily on skin color?

“What if a significant sector of the population had never been represented on the Court? “

Define “sector”?

SCOTUS interprets the Constititution, and how the case before them meets or exceeds Constitutional muster.
That’s it.
They shouldn’t MAKE law.

Maybe “Sector” should be Constitution respecting Citizens, instead of the Clown Car of the currently arranged categories.

If you think race and sex haven’t been used as the demoncrats’ chief qualifications for SCOTUS nominees in the past, I have a bridge I’d like to sell you.

It’s just that they’ve never had a POTUS before who was stupid enough to say it out loud.
