Thursday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) pushed back against criticism from the GOP over President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would nominate a black woman to replace outgoing-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

Durbin argued on CNN’s “New Day” that both former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump announced they would nominate a woman to the Supreme Court and noted the same people upset about Biden’s plan to nominate a black woman have never voted for a black nominee.

Big difference in eliminating 95% of the population vs 50% of the population.

I couldn't find this in the article, Biden recalled when his mom drove him to a small Catholic school in Delaware

I'd be interested in reading it.

Ted Cruz should stop the showboating and making an ass of himself as usual.

It's one liberal being replaced. Don't rehash Cavanaugh.

In hindsight, it was a HUGE MISTAKE to let Reagan get away with that pledge.

You would hardly even know Reagan had appointed the first woman - most people probably think it was RGB. That’s who all of the documentaries, etc. are made about as a supposed trailblazer on the Supreme Court.

No, but the Demagogic Party did. Dirtybag Durbin is unfit for office, same goes for Pritzker and Lightfoot.

Durbin is a moron, but aside from that, in the end it doesn’t matter much. Whoever he picks black white female or male, will be a hard leftist and vote predictably on cases. just so it isn’t someone as stupid as the wretched sotomayor.

I’m rooting for Maxine Waters-level stupidity. Make Sotomayor and Kagan embarrassed to be associated with the newbie.

Nice try Durbin. I happen to be a small party to that history. SDO was among a small pool of men whom were brought forth, my father among them. He was nominated by Sen William Armstrong and invited to fly out to DC to meet the President. My dad declined due to my mom’s health issues. There clearly was no agenda by Reagan as he put forth the best nominee.

And Durbin worked his ass off to derail both nominations.

It’s that she was elevated to the nomination STRICTLY BECAUSE SHE WAS A BLACK WOMAN.

How is that different than Reagan and Trump pledging to only nominate women?
