New Supreme Court Nominee?

[Res Ipsa]

I would care a lot more about what the Supreme Court did or had to say if Beyonce was a justice for life.

Seriously. That is not meant as a joke or a derail or anything. I would straight up give that court a lot more of my attention if she were on it for the duration. As it is now, I could not give even one half a crap or one damn about that court. There is absolutely nothing they could do or say to pique my interest. OSHA masks and mandates and voter this and Rovy Wade or lambs in school - nothing could make me care about that damn court. Put 27 more justices on it, whatever. Do not care. Unless, Beyonce is on the court of course.

Interesting. What is it about Beyonce being a Justice that would change your level of interest?

She is fascinating to me, primarily for her business development and interests. I would be fascinated to see what she does on a court. Simple as that. What another federal judge from the McConnell federalist club does or whatever judge from whatever else group does, meh, don't care. I just checked out on it. Hope they do great, but I will watch Yellowstone instead. I gave up trying to figure that court out or worrying that I could ever have an expectation.

Got it. Thanks.

As much as I like white people, in a very abstract in-group sorta way, I actually would like to see a black woman appointed. Eric Weinstein (whatever you think of him - cool) made an interesting point on a Joe Rogan podcast I watched, man, maybe a year or two ago, that he’d like to see more black women appointed to positions of power because hr thought they’d just cut through people’s B.S. and speak the truth, which he felt was very necessary for our society right now. And by truth, actual truth, not whatever lies people have decided to pass off as the truth these days. I found his reasoning compelling and thought it worth trying out. Not gonna lie, I was low-key hoping a black woman would’ve got the Democrat nomination this last go around, but it is what it is. So. Yeah. Supreme Court. If Biden doesn’t want to completely implode the Left he’ll follow through on his promise.

For me it is about getting various perspectives onto the court. I don't know about any specific race cutting through BS better per se (that seems more a product of the particular individual selected) but I do believe a court that reflects the demographics of the country is critical. I also don't think the importance for young minorities to have excellent role models in powerful roles can be over stated.

Time will tell. I could see several different options and I don't think Judge Wright is way off the mark either.

Given some of this admins other 180s though I could honestly see him hard FUBARing this and appointing some random white guy.

Interesting point of view. “Worth trying” is an approach I like.

Biden at the White House on Thursday confirmed the nominee will be the first Black woman on the high court, saying: "It's long overdue, in my opinion."

J. Michael Childs’ name just popped up on CNN.

Childs, 55, who the White House said late Friday is among multiple people under consideration for the seat being vacated by Stephen Breyer, also has the public endorsement of Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), who is the third-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House. He was an influential figure in Joe Biden’s ascent to the presidency and told Bloomberg Law that he’s spoken with the state’s two Republican senators about Childs.

It seems the groundwork is being laid, maybe?

That's certainly how it's done. I'm not going to predict anything because i'm terrible at Supreme Court forecasting.

As a prize, you are awarded the next open Supreme Court seat.

I respectfully decline, the world is jacked up enough without me wielding that enormous power.
