    I am surprised I did not see Janice Rogers Brown on Clueless' short list . She is a well qualified Black Female jurist who was on the DC Circus Court of Appeals .

    Breyer announced his retirement today. He had no need to succumb to any pressure to retire. He is perfectly aware of the need to be replaced with a like-minded justice.

    Many politicians are self-appointed nutrition czars .They see Americans as incapable of making decisions about eating. Therefore, they feel that government at all levels must try to control their diets by directing people to eat a certain way or expressly prohibiting or banning the consumption of certain foods.
    Complete nonsense. Do you honestly believe the government will follow us around checking on our diet and our weight? Wanna buy a bridge n Brooklyn?

    The black female SC candidates do NOT fit into this category. Their candidacy is marked by superb academic and judicial credentials - not "...no reason other than race...."

    The replacement;"marked by superb academic and judicial credentials",will be chosen only after the field is radically winnowed by open race and sex discrimination, which has gone from being illegal to being celebrated and practiced by a president of the United States.

    not saying that at all. I'm saying the best qualified candidate should be selected . Clueless made race and gender his first qualifier . The Bakke decision rejected his type of criteria.The three leading candidates ; Justice Leondra Krueger ,Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and Judge Michelle Childs are all worthy candidates who could have been considered for any vacancy without declaring that they were qualified by virtue of filling a quota

    Grutter v. Bollinger :in 2003 SCOTUS decided that if multiple candidates were equally qualified then other qualifiers like race and gender could be a determining factor.

    Same year in Gratz v. Bollinger SCOTUS decided that if race or other factors that were discriminatory under Bakke were the first qualifiers then it was unconstitutional .
    Breyer voted in the majority in both decisions .

    B
    y announcing that race and gender was his first qualifiers ,Clueless is violating the law.
    The sad part is that this fall SCOTUS will rule on 2 cases where Harvard and U of Mass use that very criteria in admissions . Breyer said he will wait until after this session of SCOTUS is concluded sparing his successor the conflict of interest .

    I will ignore the superficial qualifiers.

    Schmucky said Thursday that the Senate will move quickly on the nominee to replace Breyer – and that it will treat that person fairly.(as opposed to the Kavanaugh treatment )
    "The Senate will have a fair process that moves quickly so we can confirm President Biden’s nominee to fill Justice Breyer’s seat as soon as possible,"

    Has Breyer officially given notice?

    Ah, I guess so --

    Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer formally submitted his resignation letter to President Biden on Thursday, a day after multiple media outlets reported his decision to retire from the nation's high court.
    In the letter, the 83-year-old Breyer said he will step down at the end of the court's current term, assuming his successor has been nominated and confirmed. The next term begins on Oct. 3.

    According to Tom, all of Biden's picks are unconstitutional. It should therefore be a simple matter to sue to prevent Biden picking who he picked. Stand by.

    Racial and gender qualification for the Court is unconstitutional . Geeze ,Clueless talks about going back to Jim Crow days . Well there you have it .Racial and gender preference are against the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment .

    It is Clueless who is being unfair to his nominee and his pick will now have an asterisk attached to the selection. I may disagree with all their policies and views on interpretation of the constitution and the role of the court. But all of them look qualified to sit on the court regardless of their race or gender . To place that qualifier on the selection is unfair to them and unconstitutional .

    O'Connor was on a diverse short list of candidates that included Robert Bork, Dallin H. Oaks, Malcolm R. Wilkey, Philip B. Kurland, and Edwin Meese III .Reagan pledged to nominate a woman with one of his selections . He never promised that it would be his 1st pick or that he would only consider a woman.

    Here is what Reagan said:

    I am announcing today that one of the first Supreme Court vacancies in my administration will be filled by the most qualified woman I can possibly find. … It is time for a woman to sit among the highest jurists.”

    Parse that and say Reagan didn't do the same thing Biden is doing.
