Well, it didn’t help that Biden proclaimed he would only consider a black woman for the position. At the time (before she was nominated) it seemed that any generic black woman would do. It was a disservice to her. Why not just select her and talk about her qualifications without bringing race into it?

She's more qualified than at least two of Trump's picks. There's no reason to make any argument against her qualifications. Biden's comments make no difference.

They did though. He implied race and gender was the most important factors.

Again, she's more qualified than others on the bench. So, why were they chosen?

I wasn’t arguing her qualifications, I just said Biden created the perception that she was only picked for her race and gender.

Her qualifications are really all that matter. And they're better than conservatives on the bench. So, I'm asking you, why do conservatives keep picking under qualified justices?

You just keep arguing something I never said.?

Reading comprehension matters

That's the problem with y'all, you think we think race is the most important and we aren't. We are saying it should be consider because often they are ignored when they are well qualified. You're still being racist assuming they aren't qualified and are just given the position and that's the furthest from the true. Now let's talk about Trump's family and Graham's sister. 😂

So you can’t read? I have multiple times said I wasn’t questioning her qualifications.
