Biden Helped Block The First Black Woman From The Supreme Court

Joe Biden has once again been exposed as a massive hypocrite.

He is now promising to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.

He wants everyone to give him credit for this and is painting himself as someone fighting for black Americans.

The truth of this is that he is a hypocritical fraud.

In 2003 Bush nominated Judge Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Her nomination initially failed and Biden voted against her. She was then once again nominated in 2005. That time her nomination passed and once again Biden voted against her.

A month later, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement. Brown was on the shortlist. Biden went on CBS to promise that if Bush nominated Brown she would be fillibustered.

From The Eagle:

President Joe Biden wants credit for nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.

But here is the shameful irony: As a senator, Biden warned President George W. Bush that if he nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, he would filibuster and kill her nomination.

The story begins in 2003, when Bush nominated Judge Janice Rogers Brown to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is considered the country’s second-most important court, and has produced more Supreme Court justices than any other federal court.

Brown was immediately hailed as a potential Supreme Court nominee. She was highly qualified, having served for seven years as an associate justice of the California Supreme Court — the first Black woman to do so.

She was the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, and grew up in rural Alabama during the dark days of segregation, when her family refused to enter restaurants or theaters with separate entrances for Black customers.

She rose from poverty and put herself through college and UCLA law school as a working single mother. She was a self-made African American legal star. But she was an outspoken conservative — so Biden set out to destroy her.

Biden and his fellow Democrats filibustered her nomination, along with several other Bush circuit court nominees, all of whom had majority support in the Senate. Columnist Robert Novak called it “the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants.”

…

The following month, when Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement, Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered,” Biden said.
