“The person I nominate to replace Justice Breyer will be someone with extraordinary qualifications. Character, experience, and integrity,” Biden wrote on Twitter. “And they will be the first Black woman nominated to the United States Supreme Court.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed this week that Biden had “reiterated his commitment to nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court and certainly stands by that.”
Notable responses included:
Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire: “Joe Biden will nominate a black woman for the Supreme Court because he said he would select someone based on race and sex, and then we will be told that noting that this is definitionally affirmative action and race discrimination is itself racist.” He added, “Also, there’s a reason Democrats never miss with their SCOTUS picks: they overtly choose wild Leftists. That’s the only real qualification. They wouldn’t care whether Biden nominated an HLS grad who clerked for Breyer or Cardi B, so long as that person voted reliably Left.”
