Sorry to be prejudiced and a male chauvinist. I will never forgive Sandra Day O’Connor for the deciding vote to promote affirmative action. She supposedly was getting spiteful revenge for a long past slight when sexism hurt her in her early career. Now we men all have to pay reparations for her early life. Phooey.
When women are qualified they deserve and get the jobs and promotions.
Merit used to be the standard before Aff.Action.
Discrimination against males was allowed by the Court-—a shockingly wrong thing.
Putting a woman on the Court just for political strategy reasons is both insulting to women and won’t mean hearty pats on the back all around any more than Clarence Thomas being black brought them-—he was called an Uncle Tom turncoat by Dems. Off the Dem reservation so ostracized.
Putting Amy Coney Barrett on the court would not be insulting to women. She is a solid conservative and a fine judge. That said, I think Trump should nominate whomever he pleases for the SCOTUS. Man or woman, I have confidence he will pick the best person for the job.
I cover some of this in post #81 to this thread.
I would never, ever want a manhating socialist for strategy reasons. If you were making a point ,fine, but please do not ever think I would condone such a thing. You and I are together on this.
The solution is not a wimpy and moderate nominee-— the Jeb Bush style solution.
Bipartisan political correctness is a disease and I want us all cured of it permanently.
MAGA.
I agree. I only meant it as a crass political strategy move being wrong.
So you weren’t implying that another good Supreme Court nominee will be impossible for a Republican majority Senate to confirm. It appears that you were saying that Democrats would try harder with the same tactics. Sorry, if I allowed impressions from comments written by others lead me to a hasty assumption.
So unlike many others, you’ve allowed yourself to see some of the social ruin around us and some of the causes of that ruin. If more women knew where the feminist trend goes, most of them would be horrified.
The Dems can try all they want with their low,sneaky, self-serving tactics but we have the right to have our duly elected Republican President select and have confirmed nominees during his presidency. They can go chase their tails in freeway traffic. Our side will win.
MAGA
