Roosevelt sought and got credit for nominating the first Jew to the Supreme Court. Lyndon Johnson won approval for appointing the first black. Ronald Reagan was praised for appointing the first female . Barack Obama was credited for the first Hispanic.

All of these ethnic groups and women demanded these nominations of one of their own. Many of them decried a court staffed only with white males. Each "first" was applauded by the diversity crowd. In half a century we have managed to turn a co-equal branch of the federal government into an affirmative action slut machine. If an appointment can legitimately be praised for advancing the interests of a favored ethnic racial or gender group, cannot those not so favored legitimately complain?

If we appoint a judge on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, and gender, anyone who fails to complain if his group was ignored is a fool. I fully expect the Mormons to begin pressuring for the appointment of one of their own. Next in line will be the Muslims. Will Jews be accused of bigotry if they complain someday that they had no place on the court but the Muslims own 33 1/3% of the court?

Why do we on the basis of these remarks accuse Pat Buchanan of bigotry? As a white male Protestant I want more white male Protestants on the court to defend me against the diversity pirates on the court. I did not start out this way, they made me this way. I refuse to unilaterally disarm.

If they move the race war to the court, I will wage war in the court because I want to survive. I will not blame Pat Buchanan for telling the truth. I will not claim racism where none exists but I will insist on having my race, my gender, and my religion represented. I will put the blame where it belongs, on the race mongers who created this situation and not on a courageous messenger who tells us the Emperor has no clothes.

Wrong. It was Woodrow Wilson who nominated Justice Louis Brandeis, the first Jew on the Supreme Court. And I don't think there was any great political pressure applied by Jewish groups back in 1915. He turned out to be a pretty good jurist and served a long time.

Bingo. This is exactly what Pat B. meant. That doesn’t mean he isn’t anti-semitic, because I believe he is; however, his point about how our country is changing into a PC mess where a Protestant Whitey is no longer anywhere represented on our highest court, is a valid criticism. This group has become the new minority, or should I say the tyranny of the minority has created this new minority class, which is actually the majority, but you’d never know it.
