Halperin: All Agree Great for SCOTUS to 'Look More Like America'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/02/2016 3:35:59 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I'm guessing most NewsBusters readers could care less about "diversity" when it comes to choosing Justices of the Supreme Court. That they'd be thrilled if all nine justices looked, for example, like Clarence Thomas--so long as all shared his philosophy of judicial restraint and original intent.

On today's With All Due Respect, Mark Halperin interviewed Planned Parent president Cecile Richards. Richards declined to name someone she'd like to see nominated to the Court but did say she was "extremely grateful" for the addition to the Court of Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. That prompted Halperin to observe: "regardless of ideology I think we can all agree it's great for the Court to look more like America." Richards piously agreed: "absolutely: without a doubt." Baloney: ideology is all to Richards. She would fight tooth and nail against an appointee who looked like Sotomayor but voted like the late, great Antonin Scalia. Similarly, she'd be all in for a male person of pallor, so long as he was pro Roe.

We don’t care about ‘diversity’: we care about judicial philosophy!

That’s why we need a conservative evangelical Christian. Currently there are zero.

Obama wants to appoint a Supreme Court Activist when the Constitution calls for him to appoint a Supreme Court Justice!

Ok which is why Obama should not have another nomination, the Court tilts to far to the poltical Left now compared to the vast majority of the USA.

If a green eyed, three toed, dwarf quadrosexual is commited to strict Constitutional interpretation of law, I’m OK. If not, diversity fans can go urinate vertically on some hemp cordage.

Sounds like a bunch of racist,sexist.. bastards to me, or am I missing something??

Is deciding anything through the prism of Race, the very definition of Racism?

[ Janice Rogers Brown.

Black, female, and conservative. ]

Why would the liberals nominate “It” to the Supreme Court?

And by using “It” I am referencing the Libs who recently referred to the Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas as “It” as if because if a Black Person is Conservative they are no longer a human being but an “It”. The Liberals are blatantly DEHUMANIZING minority conservatives!!! And they Call Trump a NAZI, the hell????

Daily Mail Calls Justice Clarence Thomas ‘It’ in Hit Piece
