US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Getting tard comed]

the first 4 are not passing....

no5 is the only one that should be confirmed...

Not sure if this is tranny joke or confirmation commentary. If it's the latter, why aren't the first 4 passing and why should the 5th one be confirmed?

Don't the Blacks have their representative? What about us Asian Americans? Why do we even care about the color of their skin anyways? Shouldn't it be about their credentials?

Oh you sweet summer child. You need to update your goodthink software.

Asians arents a real minority, they are essentially white. Meritocracy is no longer the highest ideal and has been replaced with Equity. Skin color is the most important thing about a person. It let's you know immediately if they are good or bad with good directly tied to how dark the skin is. Being black, and a women, are all the credentials necessary. Anything else is racist, and bigoted.

TPTB hate Russia for being kicked out of it when Stalin removed the Trotskyites + Bolshiveks and for being, for better or worse, a Christian nation. The war is for revenge seeing as the move to China was rejected. This is their last foreseeable position or power and the US' strength is waning

It's one of the problems of a purely materrialistic POV of the world. You miss shit.

I promise you the powers that be don't care about Russia being Christian and, if anything, see the nascent religiosity of that country as just Putin utilizing a culture war topic to distract from his kleptocracy of a regime.
They hate Russia because they're all increasingly addled boomers whose understanding of the Cold War meant anyone with a predilection for vodka and borscht was the enemy, not ideological commies. That and the fact that Putin's getting handsy with all of his post-Soviet neighbors to try and relive the dream of the Warsaw Pact.

He kicked Trump out of the oval office. He'll be turning into a pumpkin by March.

Looks like the only one with real experience. The other ones were all judges less than ten years. 1 doesn’t seem awful. 2-4 are judges in hard left areas. 6 looks like she just came out of the factory she was built in.

You asians have Sotomayor. Celebrate.
She is fat enough to count as two, so technically you asians already have twice as many judges as the dark dudes have.

Spoiler: Biden: 1st Black woman justice on high court 'long overdue'

President Joe Biden on Thursday affirmed his pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying it was “long overdue." He praised retiring Justice Stephen Breyer as a model public servant and promised a nominee by the end of February.

Breyer joined Biden at the White House, a day after news broke of the 83-year-old’s upcoming retirement.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, he has focused on nominating a diverse group of judges to the federal bench, not just in race but also in professional expertise. He installed five Black women on federal appeals courts, with three more nominations pending before the Senate.

Biden has already met personally with at least one top nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, 51, Breyer’s former clerk worked at the U.S. Sentencing Commission and has been a federal trial court judge since 2013 in the District of Columbia. The two met when Biden interviewed her for her current post as an appeals court judge in the D.C. circuit, where she has served since last June.

Early discussions about a successor are focusing on Brown Jackson, U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss White House deliberations. Jackson and Kruger have long been seen as possible nominees.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden is meeting Thursday with retiring liberal Justice Stephen Breyer at the White House, lauding his long Supreme Court service and formally announcing Breyer’s decision to retire.

The two are to deliver remarks in the Roosevelt Room a day after news broke of the 83-year-old Breyer’s upcoming retirement. He made it official on Thursday; the Supreme Court sent out his retirement letter just before the two were to meet.

The president is considering at least three judges for the expected vacancy on the Supreme Court as he prepares to quickly deliver on his campaign pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the nation’s highest court.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, he has focused on nominating a diverse group of judges to the federal bench, not just in race but also in professional expertise. He installed five Black women on federal appeals courts, and three more nominations are pending before the Senate, their experience ranging from civil rights work to federal defense.

By the end of his first year, Biden had won confirmation of 40 judges, the most since President Ronald Reagan. Of those, 80% are women and 53% are people of color, according to the White House.

Breyer’s replacement by another liberal justice would not change the ideological makeup of the court. Conservatives outnumber liberals by 6-3, and Donald Trump’s three nominees pushed the court even further to the right

Early discussions about a successor are focusing on U.S. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss White House deliberations. Jackson and Kruger have long been seen as possible nominees.

“He has a strong pool to select a candidate from, in addition to other sources. This is an historic opportunity to appoint someone with a strong record on civil and human rights,” said Derrick Johnson, the NAACP’s president.

Jackson, 51, was nominated by President Barack Obama to be a district court judge. Biden elevated her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Early in her career, she was also a law clerk for Breyer. Biden has already met with her personally, he interviewed her for her current post.

Childs, a federal judge in South Carolina, has been nominated but not yet confirmed to serve on the same circuit court. Her name has surfaced partly because she is a favorite among some high-profile lawmakers, including Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C.

Kruger, a graduate of Harvard and of Yale’s law school, was previously a Supreme Court clerk and has argued a dozen cases before the justices as a lawyer for the federal government.

Breyer, 83, will retire at the end of the summer, according to sources who confirmed the news to The Associated Press on Wednesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to preempt Breyer’s formal announcement.

But the Senate can confirm a successor before there is a formal vacancy, so the White House is getting to work. It is expected to take at least a few weeks before a nomination is formalized.

When Biden was running for the White House, he said that if he had the chance to nominate someone to the court, he would make history by choosing a Black woman. And he’s reiterated that pledge since.

“As president, I’d be honored, honored to appoint the first African American woman. Because it should look like the country. It’s long past time,” Biden said in February 2020 shortly before South Carolina’s presidential primary.

Adding a Black woman to the court would mean a series of firsts - four female justices and two Black justices serving at the same time on the nine-member court. Justice Clarence Thomas is the court’s only Black justice and just the second ever, after Thurgood Marshall.

And Biden would have the chance to show Black voters increasingly frustrated with a president they helped to elect that he is serious about their concerns, particularly after he has been unable to push through voting rights legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Biden’s nominee “will receive a prompt hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee and will be considered and confirmed by the full United States Senate with all deliberate speed.”

Republicans remain upset about Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s contentious 2018 hearing. Still, Democrats have the 50 votes plus a tiebreaker in Vice President Kamala Harris that they need to confirm a nominee.

Republicans who changed the Senate rules during the Trump-era to allow simple majority confirmation of Supreme Court nominees appeared resigned to the outcome. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, an influential Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement, “If all Democrats hang together - which I expect they will - they have the power to replace Justice Breyer in 2022 without one Republican vote in support.”

Nonetheless, Democrats have also been unable to get all their members on board for Biden’s social and environmental spending agenda or to move forward with a voting rights bill.

As a senator, Biden served as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, overseeing six Supreme Court confirmation hearings from 1987 to 1995, including Breyer’s.

And one person who will be central to Biden’s process is chief of staff Ron Klain, a former Supreme Court law clerk and chief counsel to the Judiciary Committee.

Biden could also choose someone who is not currently a judge, though that seems less likely. One contender would be the head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, 59. She has headed the fund since 2013 and has announced she is stepping down in the spring.

The Supreme Court has had three women on it for more than a decade, since 2010, when Obama named Justice Elena Kagan to replace the retiring John Paul Stevens. Kagan joined Obama’s other nominee, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s first Latina justice, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. When Ginsburg died in September 2020, Trump announced his choice of Amy Coney Barrett eight days later.

We are at a point where boomers are choosing SCOTUS justices like how I always choose the white character or modify my character to be white in a RPG or any game that allows for character customization.

hmm

I wonder where all the money from this bill went, also the Executive Orders Trump signed.

 

[Absolutego]

DC is the most hard left place in the country though.. it's concentrated leftism.

lmfao visit any given West Coast Metropolis or New York/Philly sometime. Or better, don't.
DC is concentrated pro-government, both in left and right wing ways, and, spoiler warning, getting appointed to the DC Court of Appeals is a classic tell that someone's getting groomed for the Supreme Court.

Don’t forget Portland OR. Number 5 spent 10 years in South Carolina before being nominated for a spot in DC last year. It didn’t say appointed.

 

[The handsome tard]

A&N are an oppressed minority at this point.

They take our stickers and then lock the thread because of a "technicality" (that we know is BS)

oh Im sorry, I thought this was Kiwi Farms

 

[HandsomeDan]

So it is now ok to state that only one race and gender will be considered/chosen for a Federal position?

Someone better have the balls to make this a discrimination issue.

 

[Pig Cups]

LOL this seems a little off the mark…

Still begs the question: Is the country really pining for a Trump return? Are we misreading the room? Would the people re-elect the Biden/dem ticket despite a monumental record of failure, because they’re queasy about “chaos” and “mean-spiritedness” and wanting to maintain “normalcy with adults in charge”? Would running lightning rod Trump in ‘24 re-energize the left/RINOs/naysayers, and wind up being a wasted opportunity?
I wonder what Marquette Law’s methodology was..probably something ridiculous like D+20.

 

[The Nothingness]

Now the shoes on the other foot. Will Biden release his transcript with the Ukrainian president?

only like 28% of Americans want Joe to run again and he's being beaten by a generic Republican ballot by almost nine points. Any polls showing Biden beating either Trump or Florida man are cope or factoring in massive 2020 like fraud.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

>Chaos
Like the kind of chaos Biden created not just economically, but socially as well with the lockdowns, mask mandates, and promises he never keeps?
>Mean-Spiritedness
Like the kind Biden has for anyone that stands in his way when he doesn't get what he wants? When he throws temper tandtrums or calls people "stupid sons of bitches"?
>Normalcy
There's nothing "Normal" about this "New Normalcy" the MSM and the Biden admin has been trying to push since he's been in office. Telling people to jab up the rest of ther lives and stop buying shit because it's OUR fault store shelves are empty is NOT "normal"
>Adults in charge
ROFL! Good joke.
