It’s business as usual for SCJ. She was proposed, in part, because she was a black woman and that’s what Republican senators went after. Before we start slamming senators left right and centre let’s also remember that Kavanagh was put on a quasi-judicial show trial with no legal jurisdiction and evidence via hearsay - everyone on the left was delighted by this. This stupid game is played both ways.

Personally, I see no real need for the public to be involved. It’s a job interview and it needs oversight with checks and balances, but it doesn’t need public oversight. Her qualifications speak for themselves, Biden shouldn’t have made it a race conversation - he should’ve just nominated her.
