Biden outpacing Trump, Obama with diverse judicial nominees
The Associated Press ^ | December 29, 2022 | By SEUNG MIN KIM and COLLEEN LONG

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the Biden White House, a quartet of four female judges in Colorado encapsulates its mission when it comes to the federal judiciary.

Charlotte Sweeney is the first openly LGBT woman to serve on the federal bench west of the Mississippi River and has a background in workers’ rights. Nina Wang, an immigrant from Taiwan, is the first magistrate judge in the state to be elevated to a federal district seat.

Regina Rodriguez, who is Latina and Asian American, served in a U.S. attorney’s office. Veronica Rossman, who came from the former Soviet Union with her family as refugees, is the first former federal public defender to be a judge on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

With these four women, who were confirmed during the first two years of President Joe Biden’s term, there is a breadth of personal and professional diversity that the White House and Democratic senators have promoted in their push to transform the judiciary.

“The nominations send a powerful message to the legal community that this kind of public service is open to a lot of people it wasn’t open to before,” Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff, told The Associated Press. “What it says to the public at large is that if you wind up in federal court for whatever reason, you’re much more likely to have a judge who understands where you came from, who you are, and what you’ve been through.”

Klain said that “having a more diverse federal bench in every single respect shows more respect for the American people.”

The White House and Democratic senators are closing out the first two years of Biden’s presidency having installed more federal judges than did Biden’s two immediate predecessors.

“Diversity” is a BUG!

Not a benefit!

What is wrong with “qualified” as opposed to “diverse”? Trump seemed to appoint qualified candidates to the bench where this unelected pudding head has nothing but panty wearing, race and gender grievance mongers in his stable.

No, if you think “representation” shows more “respect” for the “American People”(TM), then you’d have to proportion how many you put out.

Sorry, but e.g., whites still represent at least 60% of the pop. So the judges should look at least 60% white, etc.

You homo would probably be the ONLY one on the bench, to be accurate.

But I’m betting you’re not counting actual demographics that “look like America”.

And many on here were proclaiming it did not matter whether Republicans control the Senate or not. But it really does. The next two years is going to be awful with judicial appointments.

How come every group other than white men are considered "diverse"?

Qualifications and experience is much more important than color and plumbing.

I don’t want a judge to be ‘representative’ of the population. That is what Congress is for. I want judges who know how to read the Constitution.

Diverse in every way that is irrelevant, such as melanin content, sexual orientation or national origin, but uniform in their commitment to the evil that is the left wing philosophy.

Diverse? You must have meant inept. I know plenty of minorities, NONE of which could even come close to demonstrating the repulsiveness, stupidity, and just plain idiocy of Biden’s crop of clowns. But, then again, the ones I know are real science (e.g., not Fauci) types. Oh, forgot, by AP standards, Biden’s folks are all MENSA types. Journalism - when you can’t get into a School of ‘Eddikashun’.

Is this article intending to impress me?

There is absolutely NOTHING about Joe Biden that is impressive. I cannot think of a single thing, including the contents of this article.

This failed human being has been in office since I was a year old; I’m now 53...

I am impressed Biden has been able to get away with groping children without being arrested.
