E18 - Biden's Woke Supreme Court Nomination Process

Joe Biden made history by promising to name a black woman to the highest court during his presidential campaign. With Justice Stephen Breyer set to retire soon, Biden is expected to fulfill the promise he first made in South Carolina. Some are thrilled at the prospect of having a more diverse Supreme Court, while others feel that he is pandering to black voters. As the battle over the next justice for the Supreme Court ignites debate on race and representation, what perspectives do you hold on the issue?

In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about Joe Biden’s nominees to the Supreme Court. They will highlight what people think about the SCOTUS pick, how they feel about it, and how the federal government is unceasingly failing the country.

26:59 - "Conservatives do have a problem with this. We have a problem with it because you've just excluded everybody, everybody in the country from being a Supreme court justice because you're gonna pick up a black woman. I don't care if it's a black woman. But put her up against the white guy, put her up against the Hispanic chick, put her up against my Tongan girl and let's take the best one. Let's take who's gonna do the best job. Not because she's black and not because she's a woman." - Jim Larkin

11:57 - "He (Justice Breyer) would have liked to have announced his retirement at the end of the term, which would be June or July. That's pushed way too close to the midterms. And in the midterms, you have 34 Senate seats up in November, 20 Republicans, 14 Democrats. And if they lose the house, they lose the Senate, it's all Republican-controlled now. And then he retires, with zero chance that there's a nominee getting through." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr.

27:50 - He (Joe Biden) needs to do something to get those people back in. They need something right now to try to bring them back in, to get those votes because they know they're about to get wrecked in May and probably November." - Jim Larkin

29:24 - "Every candidate should be solely vetted on their writings and their decisions as it relates to the United States Constitution. It shouldn't matter what color you are. It shouldn't matter what sex you are. Whoever is the most constitutional candidate should get the nod." - Jim Larkin
