Last week, Joe Biden declared that he intends to nominate “the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court”.
Joe Biden had
reportedly promised House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn during the 2020 campaign
that he would nominate
a black woman to the Supreme Court.
So what does
one make of this declaration?
It is a
grave affront to any candidate for any position to be openly declared as a
‘diversity’ hire because it means that the primary criteria for her selection
are genetics and not merit.
Besides
being anachronistic, Biden’s public declaration is an insult to the nominee.
History will always recognize her as one who secured the position because of
her race and gender which are an accident of nature and not because of her
record which is a product of her work.
The 14th amendment of
the US constitution states the following:
“All persons
born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they
reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.”
In 1978, in
the Regents of University
of California v. Bakke case, the Supreme Court ruled that the use
of racial "quotas" for its selection process is unconstitutional.
Hence the
constitution is being violated to fill a position whose function it is to
defend the constitution.
Biden’s
commitment is an act of discriminating against all those who are not black
women, it is also unconstitutional.
Why would
any self-respecting individual accept a position that is an insult to her
achievements, an act of discrimination against others, and unconstitutional?
A
recent ABC
News/Ipsos poll showed that 76 percent of Americans wanted "all
possible nominees" to be considered while just 23 percent want only Black
women for the nomination.
When a
sitting President fails in his duties towards the constitution, it is the job
of lawmakers to step up and defend the constitution which are the founding
principles of a nation.
That
responsibility is in the hands of Republican Senators.
Currently,
the Supreme Court comprises of 6 conservative justices and 3 liberal judges.
But justices do not always rule based on their ideology or the tenets of the
constitution.
Conservative
Justices Roberts
and Kavanaugh are known to trespass the realms of their purported
ideology. They recently voted in favor of vaccine mandates for health workers.
A Supreme Court
Justice usually remains in their position for around two decades. The impact of
their ruling and votes can be permanent. This makes the appointment of a
Supreme Court Justice vitally important.
Going by the
occurrences in the White House Biden’s candidate is likely to be a Marxist
masquerading as a moderate.
The White
House has acknowledged that South Carolina federal Judge J. Michelle Childs
is under
consideration after Democratic House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn
signaled at least two Republican senators see her as Biden's best bet.
When
conservatives Clarence
Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh were up for nomination, the Democrats led a
prolonged rancorous trial by media based on baseless allegations of sexual
harassment. Despite the fact that the allegations were unproven, liberal
commentators still state them as if they were facts.
The
Republicans now have their opportunity for payback.
This could
also be payback against Biden who is the founder
of toxicity and rancor during the judicial confirmation process. It
was Biden who had smeared Robert Bork, Supreme Court Nominee from
1987, as a racist, and Biden also led the attack against Clarence Thomas.
But GOP can
do this without stooping to the level of the Democrats.
Biden’s
nomination can be rejected on principle because the Supreme Court Justice
nomination based on racial and gender quota is in violation of a Supreme Court
ruling and the Constitution. Thus the nomination makes a mockery of the entire
system
By making an
explicit mention of his selection criteria based on race and gender, Biden has
admitted to an act of discrimination. This is another valid reason for the
Republicans to reject the nominee.
In addition
to that, they can also summon various individuals who have suffered as a result
of the unjust rulings of the nominee. Perhaps she was lenient with criminals
who eventually committed bigger crimes. A case can then be made that the
individual is a staunch ideologue which makes her unfit for the position.
The nominee
could be questioned about her acceptance of the nomination as a diversity hire
and compelled to condemn Biden’s act of discrimination.
At this
juncture, Biden, owing to his myriad catastrophes finds himself struggling in
the polls. Even his propagandists are unable to cover him favorably.
Biden could have nominated a woman of color without an explicit declaration of criteria.
But he didn’t,
because his handlers see this as a win-win situation. A confirmation will revive his
presidency and perhaps improve the chances of some Democrats during the
mid-terms. If the nominee is rejected, t
Hence
blocking this nomination would be the right choice for the GOP. This is an opportunity to further weaken Biden for 2024 and
annihilate the Democrats who are already struggling in the mid-terms.
How have the Republicans reacted thus far?
Republican
Senators Lindsey
Graham (obviously)and Tim
Scott for South Carolina have praised potential nominee federal
Judge Childs.
Republican
Sens. Burr of North Carolina, Cassidy of Louisiana, Collins of Maine, Murkowski
of Alaska, Romney of Utah, Sasse of Nebraska, and Toomey of Pennsylvania broke
party lines to convict President
Trump for the occurrences of January 6th, 2021. Perhaps they too will support Biden’s nominee?
A majority of the rest are probably mortified
of being called a racist or sexist in the media.
GOP should
not forget that they have both principles in the form of a Supreme Court ruling
and the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and popular opinion
based on a rejection of Democrat policies and a poll that opposes
discrimination on their side.
The GOP should remember that race card has been played for so long that it has no impact. The GOP shouldd learn to fight back and call out Democrat racism.
The GOP has
to remember that this is a war.
The current
Democrat party doesn’t disagree with the GOP on policy or style of governance
they despise the GOP and want it eliminated. The Democrats have used both the
Mueller investigation and the January 6th investigation
committee to destroy the lives of Republicans.
They already
have branded parents, who are most likely Republicans. who oppose the teaching
of critical race theory in school as Domestic
terrorists.
If the Democrats
are allowed more victories they will soon declare the GOP as a terrorist
organization. They have already called the GOP a
front for terrorists.
An
ineffective ally is much worse than an adversary. The adversary was
always against you. The real betrayal occurs when the ally sides with the
adversary.
Hopefully,
the GOP will display some bravery and a will to win!
