Cruz: Biden promise to put Black woman on supreme court is racial discriminationThe Republican senator Ted Cruz complained on Sunday that Joe Bidens promise to nominate a Black woman to the supreme court was an instance of racial discrimination but also claimed the GOP would not drag the eventual nominee into the gutter in confirmation hearings.
Democrats today believe in racial discrimination, Cruz told Fox News Sunday. Theyre theyre committed to it as a political proposition. I think it is wrong to stand up and say, Were going to discriminate.
Biden made his promise on the campaign trail in 2020. Stephen Breyer, the oldest justice on the court, announced his retirement last month.
James Clyburn, the South Carolina congressman and House whip, was instrumental in securing Bidens promise. He has pushed for the nomination of J Michelle Childs, a judge from his state who has also attracted support from Lindsey Graham, like Cruz an influential Republican on the Senate judiciary committee.
