Dick Durbin Accuses Republicans of Prejudice Against ‘Harvard Grad, Black Woman’
Breitbart ^ | 03/23/2022 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 03/23/2022 6:57:43 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) accused Republicans Wednesday of attacking Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson because of a “stereotype” against a “Harvard grad, black woman” during her confirmation hearing.

Durbin opened the third day of hearings by using his opening statement to attack Republicans for their questions the day before, implying that they were motivated by racist and sexist prejudice against the nominee.

Does anybody recall the controversy that arose in regards to the 2003 nomination of Janice Rogers Brown? Senator Joe Biden appeared on Face the Nation, and said he would probably endorse a filibuster to prevent Brown from becoming a Supreme Court justice.

So Joe displayed his extreme prejudice long ago in regards to someone being black and female, and tries to atone for it by nominating someone on the basis of black and female alone today?

Will the real Joe Biden please stand up?

After Durbin’s comments were finished, the republicans started theirs with, “Now that the clown show is over...”

“Harvard Grad” means “Communist” and “America Hater.”

If Harvard REALLY cared about the poor and downtrodden, their trustees would be distributing their BILLIONS of dollars in endowments to those poor and downtrodden for who they claim to support.

Of course he plays the racism/sexism card.

Is she qualified to be a Justice in our Supreme Court and that is all we are doing in the questions that are asked about her rulings.

Dick Turban is a racist too and he is a Senator.

I’m not saying that this Judge shouldn’t be ridiculed and grilled thoroughly, but in the end, none of this stuff matters. The Rats control the whole process, and they will get a leftist judge in this seat one way or another.

It doesn’t matter what her beliefs or thought processes are on any individual issue. All that matters, and the reality, is that this person is going to be a reliable vote for the leftist cause on every supreme court case. Like all leftist judges, %100 fealty to the cause, and %100 voting record towards advancing leftism.

If they rush to approve this joke, whose primary qualifications are that she is a black woman, then they should be just as ready to IMPEACH and REMOVE her!

Dishonest and stupid.

And you knew it was coming. That was the whole point of this nomination - someone so extreme that a fight over the nomination would occur and they can cry “racism! sexism!” over very serious and legitimate concerns.

No— Senators can throw a card-— the blue card, and completely bring the process to a clearly non achievable result such that the nominee— is PULLED. Just as dems did to countless repub nominees-— can you say ... BORK (Dear Teddy Kennedy return and pick up the white courtesy phone in the Senate Lobby!!!!)..

Outstanding.

Also, “if you don’t know Durbin, you don’t know Dick”.

Same in Oregon and Washington. Metro areas create problems, and also create ballots.

Dick Durbin the Turbin once compared US soldiers to NAZI storm troopers and members for the Pol Pot Regime. So there’s that.

To the left gender is not a biological thing, it is a state of mind. She better be careful, the tranny lobby will cancel her for suggesting you need to be a biologist to define a woman.

I think the Race Card with a Woman Card still beats the Trannie & Homo Card. That relationship is likely changing! This battle if she fails might contribute to that changing.
