are outraged that Biden made such a promise. Several of them — online and over the airwaves — framed it as an unearned commitment that prioritizes race and gender over nominees’ qualifications.that Biden’s promise amounted to “discrimination,” and said it would suggest his picks “were qualified by virtue of filling a quota — an unfortunate implication for the ultimate nominee.”
Conservative attempts to frame Biden’s upcoming nomination as an affirmative action hire, and to suggest they dislike affirmative action hires, are laughably insincere. If they were serious, they wouldn’t be focused on Biden’s qualified, Black female nominees — they’d be focused on conservative Amy Coney Barrett, the most recent justice to be confirmed to the court.
According to The Washington Post, Barrett’s nomination was largely due to a recommendation from then-White House counsel Don McGahn. Maybe that’s the stellar qualification conservatives want Biden’s Black nominees to get?
