Trump on Supreme Court nominee: 'It will be a woman'

No AA is actually a law or rule...there is no law or rule here....the President is committed to honoring RBG's legacy...esspecially after she came out so strongly against the radical left's treatment of the Court.

 

I don't believe in AA. If I were a police chief with a high-crime black neighborhood, I might want 70% of my officers to be black men who can relate the best to the people they will most frequently be interacting with. If I am Elon Musk trying to do Mars missions, I might was 90% Asian engineers to do designs and programs if they have the highest test scores in the engineering and science field. In the first case, I would have a definite bias toward race, for a specific reason. In the second case, I might not care if the people are Asians or not, but I want the smartest people in their field and if they happen to be Asian, then so be it.

Ideally, we want the Supreme Court to be filled with people who are "fair and impartial" more than anything, and they need to be very familiar with our Constitution and our laws. There isn't really any race or sex that is going to do better than another strictly on merit, so having a court which resembles the population is a good thing in this particular scenario. It does not make sense in "the land of equal opportunity" to have our Supreme Court all "vanilla" or all "chocolate" or all one set of genitalia.

 

banning all qualified men from the job, is socialist affirmative action!!!!

 

It's not socialist at all...I don't think you know what that word means

and it's not AA because it's not rule...it's merely the President's personal choice at this point. If you want to call it that though...fine....so be it...women need to be represented on the Court. A GOP President appointed the first, it's a tradition in the party

 

He was pulling your leg.

The politics of this are great for Dems. It would be bad for the country to have a court that unbalanced and that ideological. Traditionally, the court rules from the center.

That ended when the SC decided they wanted to pick the president in 2000.

But politically, Republicans are buying themselves a world of pain.

 

banning all qualified men from this supreme court nomination is sexist, discriminatory Affirmative Action.

all qualified judges should be considered.

Republicans have been yelling about this for decades and now all of the sudden they embrace it????

talk about hypocrisy.

 

Traditionally the Court rules from the law....that's ended more recently with left wing appointees that will only vote on whatever their party tells them to do

The SCOTUS didn't make the decision to rule on the election...Gore, wouldn't concede, and attempted to violate the Constituitonal rights of Florida voters....he brought the election to the Courts. The SCOTUS highlighted in a 7-2 decision that Gore and the Dems were attempting to violate the FL voters Constitutional rights...that was the red flag that we all saw and the start of the redicalization of the dem

 

Cool.....take it up with Biden if you have a problem with it...he's your nominee. I am fine with Trump honoring the late Justice in this way and contining the GOP tradition of making sure qualified women are on the Court.

 

When they are faced with now will be having to vote, on record against a woman because of her choice. Democrats have always suggested the women have the right to choose. And now, they're going to have to explain to us how a nominee who would choose life must not be allowed to sit on the court. It will be a remarkable argument they will have to justify.

I can see the campaign speeches now. "Well, you know how we always spouted a "woman's right to choose"? Well, we were wrong, and women don't have the right to choose a choice the democratic party don't endorse. Sorry, we should have been more clear". LOL

 

By December 8, 2000, there had been multiple court decisions regarding the presidential election in Florida.[18] On that date the Florida Supreme Court, by a 4–3 vote, ordered a statewide manual recount.[19] On December 9, ruling in response to an emergency request by Bush, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the recount.

 

Quotas based on race and sex - Republicans have been "yelling" about quotas and on giving people inequitable preference points based on race or sex across the board, in all cases.

There are situations and jobs where it makes sense to bias toward a particular race or sex, and situations or jobs where it does not make sense. Affirmative Action is a "blanket" and one size never fits all scenarios.

 

so now the GOP supports discriminatory affirmative action against qualified men.

gotcha.

 

No, because this isn't AA. I support the President having the right to nominate who he wants to.....he has provided the public with a list of people from both sexes, who he believes is qualified and frankly they all are.....

Here's a good definaton of AA for you: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/affirmative_action

There is no set of procedures here or metrics...it is simply the President's personal preferance at this point, and he is entitled to that.

 

he said he will pick a woman, basically banning 50% of the nation from the job.

are there no qualified men??????? really???

looks just like socialist identity politics.

there may be a ton of much more qualified men, but they will not be considered, because they have a penis.

its the USSR all over again

 

Bush Man Bad. That's novel.

 

Why do you FALLACIOUSLY assume that I cannot support the FACTS that I post?

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixg...uctionism-handed-judicial-vacancies-to-trump/

Who was the MAJORITY LEADER of the 114th Senate?

 

Cool...sure there are and they make up the majority of the bench...there are also very qualified women that have been vetted....at this point it really just comes to personal choice.

Nothing socialist about it....socialism https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

where there a lot of powerful women in the USSR?

A boss perfering one person over another isn't socialism at all.

 

Kindly REFRAIN from IMPOSING your own issues onto others.

 

trump saying he will not consider any of the qualified men, even if they are the most qualified, is sexist discrimination. something Rethuglicans Congressmen have been yelling about for years.

talk about hypocrisy!!!

 

So if it looks just like left-wing politics from your left-wing perception, then Vote Trump 2020 instead of Ben Hiden!

 

He has considered them...he's appointed two well qualified men to the SCOTUS.....he's now taking a harder look at some very well qualified women...that's called be diverse that's what a good leaders does....unlike say Biden who's said he will only consider an African-American women....he's shown us no history of appointing both sexes, or races....that's concerning.

 

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!

 

and what if there are men that are more qualified than his female choice, hmmmmm????

thats discrimination!!!! we should always pick the best person for the job, especially such important jobs like this!!!!

identity politics sucks. Trump is a scumbag

 

There was a huge list of mixed men, women and races. All have been pre-vetted and qualified. The vast majority of the population would want RBG to be replaced by a woman. That's good reason for Trump to select an equally-qualified female justice.

 

If I'm hiring out of a field of equally-qualified candidates and no one is clearly superior to the next candidate, then I will hire who I "like". Trump "liking" a woman, possibly a 1st generation American, goes against the Democrats' platform of "Trump racist/sexist/xenophobic", and "Republicans racist/sexist/xenophobic". That's a 50-year old lie.

You mad, Bro'?
