Contrast to the previous president, whose appointments were all drawn from the Federalist Society. Were they the most qualified candidates? We won't know because the pool of candidates was restricted to a certain subset of the population.
- josephcsible 5y agoThe requirements to be in the Federalist Society are relevant to how you'll do your job as a Supreme Court justice, and also aren't based on protected classes.
- tristan957 5y agoWhere did I ever agree that Donald Trump had a great policy for picking candidates?
- watwut 5y agoHis picks will influence American politics and society and law for years.
- tristan957 5y agoYes. That is every Supreme Court nominee. I am not understanding how this conversation devolved into a discussion about Donald Trump and his nominees when we are discussing Biden and Kentaji Brown. I have 0 interest in discussing Donald Trump anymore.
- klyrs 5y agoPoint being that justices aren't picked on the basis of their qualifications, and haven't been in my lifetime. They're picked on the basis of the rulings they're expected to make. It's all politics, but you're out here playing the race card on a straw man.
- watwut 5y agoTrumps nomines were good pick from his party point of view, because they decide based of their politics. It had nothing to do with qualifications, despite people pontificating about it now.
