to the SCOTUS


quote:

Attorney and constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz criticized President Joe Biden's decision to only consider black women for Supreme Court nominees, comparing it to if the president restricted the nomination to only Muslims.

Biden "made a serious error" in having race and gender qualifications for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's replacement, Dershowitz said Tuesday on the "Just the News" show with editor-in-chief John Solomon and co-host Amanda Head.

"If [Biden] had said he was going to restrict it to a Muslim because no Muslim has ever been appointed, it would be unconstitutional," Dershowitz said, citing Article Six of the U.S. Constitution which states "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification" to hold public office.

Dershowitz said he believes that under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Nineteenth Amendment, "you cannot use race and gender as a disqualifying factor in appointing people to the Supreme Court."

Exactly Biden is breaking anti-discrimination laws on hiring.

i mean its a political job to some degree. Reagan was determined to get the first woman on the court. Johnson wanted the first AA on the court. Roosevelt wanted a Jew on the court. Obama wanted a Latina on the court. So on and so forth

Brandon was an idiot for just publically proclaiming it

He is probably right but no-one will challenge it

Could you imagine the shite show that would happen if someone did.

Why can’t Dershowitz himself challenge it?

It’s blatant racism. You’d have to be Joe Biden stupid not to see that.

All the Biden regime had to do was keep their mouths shut and nominate a black female. Let people believe that they did an extension search and nominated the most qualified.

Instead... they just screamed that the main qualifications for a supreme is skintone and gender. Basically letting everyone know that they view the supreme seat as a joke.

He can.

He's disqualified by race and gender.

He has standing.

I agree. If he feels so strongly in his position then maybe he should.

I think he’s wrong, but let him put his money where his mouth is.

Your post is stunningly ironic.

However, I agree with your premise.

I’m missing the irony but I am curious to see if he files suit. He’s not afraid of being politically incorrect and he does have standing.

It doesn’t matter what rules he’s breaking. He’s discriminating against the only acceptable class of people so it’s all good.

I mean no shitte it’s unconstitutional, doesn’t mean anything will be done about it. It’s insane how many news outlets completely ignore that fact though and just celebrate "hooray they now look like me"

It's OK for Dems to break the law. It's the right thing to do.
