You know, I’ve lost count of the number of times
that I‘ve heard from those on the left about how it is that the Republicans
want to turn back the clock. Or the
number of times that Democrats have accused conservatives and, more
specifically, Republicans about how we’re wanting to return to slavery and
other such nonsense. But every time I
turn around it’s those in Democrat Party who are the ones working so hard, and
are so determined in their efforts, to turn back the clock.
It should go without saying that people, ALL people,
should get jobs based solely on merit, not the color of their skin, their
gender or even sexual persuasion. But,
then again, we have the Democrat Party whose members disagree with that
sentiment right down to its very last member. And nothing makes that more clear than Chuckie
Schumer’s attempted justification for refusing to vote for President Trump
judicial nominee Marvin Quattlebaum for no other reason than because he is
white.
Said old Chuckie: “The nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum speaks to the overall lack of
diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary.
Quattlebaum replaces not one, but two scuttled Obama nominees who were African
American. As of February 14th, 83
percent of the President Trump’s confirmed nominees were male, 92 percent were
white. That represents the lowest share of non-white candidates in three decades.
It’s long past time that the judiciary starts looking a lot more like the
America it represents. Having a diversity of views and experiences on the
federal bench is necessary for the equal administration of justice.”
As it has been pointed out by those much more
skillful than myself, race has been a bonus in other judicial nominations, such
as when Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said “I would hope that a wise
Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not
reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” Isn't justice supposed to be blind? Colorblind seems like a pretty low bar. But
then should we really be all that surprised?
But that said it was in spite of Chuckie’s best
efforts that the Senate confirmed Judge Quattlebaum to the U.S. District Court
in South Carolina by a vote of 69 to 28.
A fact that I’m sure that all but Chuckie and his fellow Democrats were
glad to hear. Chuckie had whined about how the judge was taking the seat on a
court left vacant after Republican senators halted two black nominees picked by
Barry. But as Barry was often quite fond
of saying, ‘elections have consequences’.
As everyone remembers, again except the Democrats, it
was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who said it best when he declared that a man should
be judged on the content of his content of his character, the skill of his
hands and the knowledge of his mind. Democrats
seem to have missed entirely the part about a person’s skin color. So as a little reminder to them, how about
this? How about everyone just stop
voting for any white Democrat. That
sounds pretty fair, right Chuckie?
Blacks make up 13 percent of our population. And according
to a 2016 study by Richmond Law School, black judges (male and female) make up
12.3% of all existing federal judgeships.
And yet Chuckie somehow thinks that that is simply not sufficient. He wants more black judges. I thought the best man, or women, regardless
of color was what’ fair. Guess not! Chuckie is once again caught in a lie. But what else can sane adults expect from a Democrat
‘leader?’
Congress is 80 percent white and 80 percent male.
How DARE the legislative branch be so racist and sexist! Perhaps it’s time for white senators, like
Chuckie, to step aside in the name of diversity! And shame on both political parties that
constantly place into their leadership positions white men and women, except on
that rare occasion when a faux leadership position is created for the likes of
‘Little Jimmy’ Clyburn. Chuckie is as
big a phony as he is a crybaby.
Now suppose we were to apply Chuckie’s rather idiotic, and blatantly leftwing, logic to both the NBA and the NFL based on the notion that both have far too many black players. And in using Chuckie’s logic we would start focusing more on making sure that more white players were permitted to enter into the league of their choice so that they too get an opportunity to make big bucks playing a kid’s game. I mean it’s only fair right. And above all else, it must be always be about what’s fair.
