The race-baiting response to Biden's Supreme Court pledge

8. I feel compelled to mention that when Barack Obama set out to appoint a woman, a DU debate...

…ensued. You know the kind. Lively. Insightful.

There were some who advanced the same arguments they had advanced over nominating a woman presidential candidate: they supposed it would be all right, there’s no law against it, but really there are so very many outstanding white male jurists and women’s numbers are smaller, and so how could their qualifications really stand up, and sure it would be all right IF — and then a long list of qualifiers that boiled down to: “The woman would be found acceptable if she could walk across the Potomac River and turn water into wine. Healing lepers a bonus.”

Just a reminder that it is not just Republicans who fall for this. They just say it loudly and attach their own names to it.
