Donald did that too, with the appointment of Amy Barrett. He made it very clear he would only consider a woman to replace RBG.
"Trump did it too" is not the excuse you seem to think it is.
What’s your excuse, Derec? The one you gave up thread smells very familiar.
You think I’m picking on you? Look, I’m just sick of wading through bullshit nonsense in your posts to figure out if you actually have anything of value to say, I assume anyone writing here wants to be heard and I assume people have points or think they do and pretty often, the points are valid, even when I don’t agree.
I’m going to waaaaaay overstep boundaries here and say that I think that you, and a lot ( but certainly not all and probably not most) of white men find it upsetting to realize that sometimes other people—not white, maybe female, get jobs and recognition and admissions to all sorts of good schools and get a lot of good things when a particular person who is white and male did not. For a long long time, only white males were allowed to vote, own property, go to college, get most types of work, hold elected office: I’m only going back as far as electing officials—which was a huge advancement over everything being hereditary and long male lines.
We’re making more advancements here by including in our searches and occasionally explicitly looking for some well qualified candidates who are not necessarily white or male. It should not be necessary to do so. But at least Biden chose his candidates from among well qualified and experienced individuals, unlike Trump.
