Let's see what left-leaning Slate has to say... How Biden’s Vow to Name a Black Woman to the Supreme Court Backfired A campaign promise has needlessly tokenized future nominees. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/01/biden-scotus-black-woman-nominee.html
Like I said to @TreeFrogTrader youre incapable of understanding how making higher standards once a person of color is being considered for a position is in fact racist. We used to do this stuff all of the time for voting and jobs too. There’s a famous civil rights case Griggs v Duke energy where what you’re doing is exactly applied.
I don't care what anyone says. The fact is that, historically, mostly white men have chosen mostly white men, and not necessarily based solely on merit. I don't dispute that the past chosen ones had merit, but I question whether they were necessarily the most capable among all of the potential candidates. And so, there has historically been a bias of one kind or another, tipping in favor of white guys. An affirmative action, if you will, over the generations. Time's up.
Youre applying standards never applied before. We have had 3 seats filled in the past few years. Please show me where you said LSAT scores should be applied. Should be easy since these are the standards you’ve always applied.
They wanted to see Obama's transcripts even though he was president of the Harvard Law Review. Meanwhile, Trump threatened to sue his schools if they released his transcripts, and ipatent et al didn't even blink.
