President Joe Biden has pledged to nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court, but he seems to have forgotten about the time he filibustered a black woman judge’s nomination to America’s second-highest court for two years.
Way back in 2003 through 2005, when Joe Biden was still a Democrat senator from Delaware, President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but due to her conservative views, Joe Biden and the Democrats filibustered her nomination, blocking a final vote on her confirmation. Bush nominated Brown for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2003 after she served as a justice on the California Supreme Court since 1996; she did not get confirmed until June 8, 2005. Newsweek provided more background on her conservative legal views:

Joe wants all of his past sins forgiven with all of his “new good works.”
See. If Republicans need a reason to block f Joe’s nominee, revenge works for me. Never mind about taking the high road bs.
Yup...it’s a war we are in
and you will not hear about it on the MSM
That was before O’Congo was controlling the puppet strings.
Well, Janice Rogers Brown struck down race quotas when she was a justice of the CA Supreme Court, so Joe was just blocking a dangerous White Supremacist.
Considering her views and how hated she was by liberals, I can only imagine how unpleasant her time on the DC Circuit must have been.
bttt
Watch how Creepy Joe looks directly at the camera after this particularly creepy hair-sniffing instance ... you've been caught again, Creepy Joe (not that he cares) ...
She wasn’t black . . . she was a conservative.
‘Brown is considered a libertarian.
‘Her political beliefs have been expressed in speeches, notably one delivered to the University of Chicago Law School Federalist Society in 2000. Brown’s speech cited Ayn Rand and lamented the triumph of “the collectivist impulse” in which capitalism receives “contemptuous tolerance but only for its capacity to feed the insatiable maw of socialism.” Brown argued that “where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies” and suggested that the ultimate result for the United States has been a “debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.”’

Let’s not forget what Biden did during Clarence Thomas’s confirmation.
Yup. If you don’t vote for Joe, you ain’t black.
When she was in high school, her and her friends gang raped a white boy. Republicans need to “f” this woman just like they did Brett. They won’t won’t because they all suck also.

I have been around for approximately 1/3 of those years since the ratification but the last 15 have convinced me, we are so far away from that document, that we need a reboot. The Constitution may not have been perfect but it provided a means to correct itself. Amendments. Sure they are hard to pass but they should be. Now it appears rulings are based on feelings instead of law and morality. And that appears good enough for some of the mental giants on SCOTUS.
I submitted the following to my local Gannett newsrag’s opinion page the other day; let’s see if they have the balls to publish it:
Remember President Biden’s behavior towards a black woman justice in 2003? Then-Senator Biden filibustered the appointment of Janice Rogers Brown to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, delaying her seating by two years. Maybe he’ll apologize by appointing her to the United States Supreme Court! (Note to the WOKE: The prior sentence was sarcasm.)
No matter who Biden appoints you may be sure of one thing. She will NOT be a strict constitutional jurist ruling by the letter of the law as the founders intended; rather she will be trying to twist the law to progressive (that’s communist to you and me) standards.
