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:

Democrats don’t nominate qualified individuals.
What Joe Biden did to try and destroy Clarence Thomas during his SC confirmation hearings is impossible for me to not remember every time I see or hear him speak. His face when he got close to Thomas was the essence of evil. Downright demonic. Thomas was stoic thru it all but had the last word. He called Biden out for the bastard he was and still is. He called what Biden and his commie comrades were doing to him a high tech lynching. Which it was. Justice Thomas is still the principled person he was then and now. Faux president Joe Biden remains the scum he always was. Biden perfectly reflects the communist democrats who own the democrat party. Lock, Stock, Endlessly filthy and nasty, and Treasonous to the core. He will not be nominating anybody of any color or sex who is not selected by whoever is running this country.
I clearly remember those hearings. Well said.
Odd. They never afford George Wallace or Strom Thurmond that assumption, even though they turned over a new leaf. But Robert Byrd is somehow a saint.
Those leftists?
Not on your life!
They totally ruined the hometown Indianapolis Star when they bought it in 2000.

Nobody seems to notice that Black Woman is just as racist.
Actually, they’ve published my opinion pieces quite a few times over the years but sometimes edit them. Here’s an example from March 2020:
Have you noted the (fake) outrage over President Trump calling COVID-19 coronavirus a Chinese virus? Where is the outrage at the Chinese Communist government which acted early to shut down the spread of information about the disease, which paved the way for freedom of travel by carriers of the illness?
A CNN commentator suggested that President Trump be charged with homicide for his less than adequate response to the coronavirus outbreak, as over 100 people have died of it as of this time. Funny, I don’t recall them calling for charges against President Obama in 2010 when over 1,000 people had died of the H1-N1 Swine Flu (another Chinese disease) epidemic before he made any move to help curb it!
In 2018 a late night so-called comedian said the economy would have to be tanked to prevent Trump’s reelection. Looks like he may get his wish. Any pain YOU suffer will be worth it, in their eyes.
I would not be surprised if I learned that Democrats in a back room somewhere are busy strategizing how to spread corona into the less affected parts of the country. Never let a crisis go to waste, after all.
After the Russia-Russia-Russia, Ukraine-Ukraine-Ukraine and impeach-impeach-impeach hoaxes it would not be surprising if the administration had treated the initial reports as more fake news designed for political effect. He never called the outbreak a hoax, only the media’s reporting on it.
Bottom line is, Trump could cure cancer and they’d accuse him of depriving the doctors and other medical personnel who specialize in treating cancer of their income. Lord preserve us from fakes, phonies and frauds!
(Note that this is the original submission; in print they deleted the fourth paragraph)
And one from January of ‘21:
On October 15, 2020 candidate Joe Biden said “Things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator”. “We’re a democracy. We need consensus.” But during his first week in office his executive orders wiped out tens of thousands of good paying jobs when he stopped the Keystone pipeline and forbade oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Say farewell to energy independence and moderate gas prices. And now your teenage daughter who is a promising athlete will have to defeat biological males pretending to be girls to claim a championship.
Elections have consequences. This one will devastate the economy for years to come. The oil and gas industries will be affected as well as the suppliers of their materials and equipment, the stores where they shop, the restaurants where they dine and their fellow taxpayers who will have to take up the slack for the taxes they are no longer able to pay. The truckers who delivered to the businesses will have to shift to driving oil from Canada to the refineries that Keystone was meant to supply. Environmentalists opposed the pipeline. Will they support the pollution from the truck and rail traffic that will now deliver it? The railroad and trucking oligarchs will be pleased!
All this as the result of a fraudulent election in which one state had over 200,000 more mail-in ballots returned than were mailed out and tens of thousands were returned before the mail-out date. Stalin was right when he said “the people who count the votes decide everything”.
(And in the print issue they deleted the final paragraph)

Back in the day when FR was having much more input from Mormons and Catholics, it DID seem to depend on which RM you got as to whether you'd get a pass, a warning, a day or two suspension or a two-week vacation for daring to post something that upset pearl-clutchers from either group.

the Flying Inmans ..
Ah those were the days ...
:)
Bump!!
Pretty much mirrors my evolution....
Brett ain’t who you think he is.............
and a ritualistic hosing ...
:)
Yet...I counted THREE Mormons over those years who emerged from their legalistic sects who credited divine truth as it was espoused daily by the Flying Inman and their cohorts! And each of the male trio not only pointed to a Mormon exodus; but had connected with an ensuing Christian church! Praise our Lord for His workings of His graciousness here!
We will not know this side of heaven the Inman impact the Holy Spirit conducted via the weaknesses of vessels like us. Lurkers lurked. Posters opposing the true Gospel of Christ were ensured they had to play "defense" and not just peddle their wares to the unwary. And how many frustrated veteran Mormons either got booted for their unseemly manners? (Or just couldn't withstand the daily resilience of those Flying Inmans; and, therefore, abandoned their informal mission field here?)
And myself? Wow! What a learning curve I underwent via that challenge! To authoritatively discover what our mission field REALLY taught in the past; believed in the present; and falsely trusted for in the future! God worked among us in bonding us -- e'en tho we were complete strangers. We had each other's back -- even though what an informal random "ratpack" of rousing reprovers we were!
And do not underestimate the shelf life of our posts. Most have remained searchable for all of these years. I've found topics that only WE covered in solid investigatory ways. We posted countless articles which no longer exist in ANY form minus what we posted; thereby preserving (for up until now at least) their historicity as others stumble upon their existence.
And, boy what classic catty communiques--collectively--were wittily catechized with typical Flying Inman-branded deep-vein in-house humor! (Somebody ought to go back and sift through "The Best of the Flying Inmans" for a potential classic best-seller on how to foster insight & intrigue while engaging and encountering legalistic sectarianism!)
So...whoever gets to heaven first among us -- please lobby our Lord that we'd like to have our own reunion group (tentatively acronymed F.I.C.K.L.E. -- Flying Inmans Caucus of Keyboard Legends of Evangelism). We'd like to be greeters to the ex-Mormons whom the Lord graced to be part of this growing Re-Exodus!
Y'all keep in touch, if you will, by FReepmail & occasional pings! Love you all. On the one hand, we were all digital phantoms to each other; but on the other hand much more than that: We were embodied believers in the global Body of Christ who embraced a common cause of Gospel-truth dissemination...at a time I increasingly realized that none of us are REALLY solo silos! We all are interwoven and inter-connected with others more than we've ever realized!

UPDATE ON THIS POST: They did publish it, as written in today’s issue. But they have a 30-day rule, so I can’t get another in until March. By then today’s pertinent issues will have faded and new ones sprung up.
