Love the new Alan M. Dershowitz column:
Supporters of President Biden's announcement will argue that there is a big difference between prohibiting a person from serving based on religion, race or gender, and affirmatively giving preference based on these criteria. That is sophistry.
Over the last two centuries Presidents have selected Supreme Court members for many personal and selfish reasons. Earl Warren was seated on the court to handcuff political ambitions that rivaled the nominator in chief. President Biden can lawfully select a black woman for the Supreme Court if he wishes.
The illogic with preordaining any parameter for selection of a justice is that it limits narrows the candidate pool. Top people should be selected because that is what the people deserve.
My only complaint is that Stacy Abrams sister is being considered. This the same judge that was involved in backdoor evisceration of Georgia election laws, leading to the state of Georgia illegitimately being awarded candidate Biden. She's racist and she cheats.
Beyond that, have it knucklehead, you can fuck up just like so many other Presidents.
