No, it was never about her sex or race, it was about her extreme conservatism.
And the fact that she would have been replacing Justice O'Connor, widely seen as the moderate swing vote. Whenever the balance of the Courts to be in danger, both sides play hard ball with the nomination process, though the GOP is better at it.

No, she was an arch conservative being named as a potential replacement for somebody considered a moderate.

Oh no it was.all because they were racists. Haven't you heard? The only reason the republicans didn't vote for Jackson was cause she was a black woman. Cause they are racist and sexist. But when Biden warned Bush it was perfectly legit and had nothing to do with her race or sex. But Jackson? It was totally not legit. It had nothing to do with concerns for her ideology, it was all about her race.

It's just sick and so twisted.

On these forums people don't actually debate financial policy. All you guys argue about is abortion, anti gay, anti non white immigration, covid measures. I do't consider any of these things to be right vs left politics.

Well they are right vs left politics. And you are left on all these topics. And more.

Elections mean something. The Democrats won the election and so you can expect any and all judges they nominate to be at least slightly on the left.
If Republicans won't vote for any judge nominated by the Democrats then really the Democrats should resort to confirming far left judges (if their goal is to have a leftist Supreme court)

You mean like democrats who won't vote for any republican judges? And their goal IS to have leftist judges on the court. Just like the republicans want constitutional conservative judges. When the Democrats were after Barrett and didn't want her were all your posts about how elections have consequences and how the Democrats should just understand?

Did you react the same?

I'm pretty sure it's because of the Hypocrisy of the Republicans, who blocked Garland saying it is too close to the next election

You think they would have supported her if they didn't happen?

No, these aren't left vs right topics.
Hate for gays is a Chirstian thing, possibly also a Muslim thing.
I'm an atheist, I don't concern myself with what consenting adults get upto in the bedroom. I'm for small govt, not a nanny state.

And again with abortion, that's a Christian thing. I consider adults to be able to make their own life choices. Again I am for small govt, not a nanny state. This has nothing to do with Capitalism vs Social saftey nets.

I'm all for immigration policies, but I am not afraid of people that don't look like me, I'm not afraid of cultural change. This has nothing to do with left vs right politics.

And lastly about Covid measures, like wearing masks, and getting vaccinated. This has nothing to do with Capitalism vs Social saftey nets. It's about acceptance of a world wide threat and taking action to protect ourselves and our community. People on the right or left are equally capable of taking action to protect society.

You mean like democrats who won't vote for any republican judges? And their goal IS to have leftist judges on the court.
I don't think the Democrats have been as razor sharp focused as the Republicans have been with regards to judge confirmations. Under Mitch McConnell, Republicans have been blocking everything from the Dems and rush confirming everything in the Trump admin phase.

USA used to have this 60% thing which meant that nominations had to be agreeable by both sides, but then Republicans started blocking everything, so the 60% couldn't work. Now you have just a simple majority, I see Dems trying hard to pick judges that are middle of the road (albiet slightly left) and Reps picking far right young (and in many circumstances, highly unqualified).


Just like the republicans want constitutional conservative judges. When the Democrats were after Barrett and didn't want her were all your posts about how elections have consequences and how the Democrats should just understand?
As I said, I'm pretty sure they were annoyed with the Hypocracy of these Republicans refusing to allow a vote for Garland a year out from the election, but rushing through the confirmation of Barrett weeks out from the election.



You think they would have supported her if they didn't happen?
I think if the election wasn't a few short weeks away, and if the process wasn't rushed, then yes they should have supported her.

See you are leftist on these issues and others. You follow the leftist palybook, leftist diatribe, leftist lies and leftist talking points.

I think you've also sided quite frequently with leftists on social welfare programs an other leftist ideology.

What's your stance on social safety nets?
Single payer healthcare? Income inequality? Minimum wage? Universal income? Border policy?

This is further evidence of your left leaning. If you believe the democrats are trying to pick middle of the road judges just goes to show just how far left your thoughts may be.

My country has a much better healthcare system than the USA does. It is my understanding that the USA system is the worst of the democratic free world countries. What you guys are doing, isn't working.

Income inequality is a large problem. I support measures to protect people that are down and out and are controlled by the rich. For example, I support some regulations as to working conditions, I also support some regulations on landlords. However I'm not excited about Unions, I think they often go too far. I don't think a movie extra should get profit share in a movie like some Australia unions were trying to get to happen with the Hobbit. It would have destroyed the movie industry in NZ.

I don't agree with universal income.
I think border control is necessary.

Considering that the Republicans were implying that Biden's candidate wasn't going to be qualified before she was even named, it's hard to say they were concerned about her ideology.

Yup just what I thought. You are very left leaning. May be not as far left as some but definitely left.

I think it may be the country you live in. You feel more conservative in comparison to others around you. It's a matter of perspective.

You see leftists like to say, "oh we believe in border control", but then turn around and accuse conservatives of racism whenever we really try to have border control.

That's because they weren't stupid. They knew Biden was going to pick a hard core liberal to replace a hard core liberal.

Silencing anti-racist education was the intention all along.

The Red states have won. The idiocracy is soon to follow.

Canceling racist education has been the goal. Moving towards unity rather than division has been the goal. Following Kings dream has been the goal.

Anti-racism is just another racist divisive ideology.

The red states haven't won yet, but it's coming.

Border control has nothing to do with left or right politics.
Neither does abortion, nor covid measures.

USA tries to polarise everything.
At the moment the USA rightwing media such as Fox news, Brietbart, OAN etc try to pick the opposite of what would be the position most sane and pragmatic people would do.
Since they pick the opposite they then try to claim that the sane pragmatic thing is a Leftist thing, which it is not. They also try to fabricate topics, like CRT which isn't even a thing that most people on the left are promoting, or supporting.

Yes it does. The left wants to let as many people in as possible. The right wants to control the border and not just allow millions of people to flood the country.

The right wants to save unborn lives. The left doesn't consider them lives

The right wants freedom during covid and the left wants to shut thing down and force vaccinations and mask wearing.

Your post is just another example of how left you are.

Saying the left is sane and pragmatic proves that.

CRT.is being pushed by the left. Hard. It's all over these boards.

The left has been diding this country with the politics of division for a long time now.

Rich vs poor
Whites vs other races
Women vs men

On and on.

It is a right wing media lie that the Democratic party want open borders. They don't.
If you want to know what the left want with regard to Border policies then ask people on the left. Don't get your opinion of this from right wing media.

Many USA Christians want to outlaw abortion. They are not pro-life, they don't care at all about life (evidenced by their fighting against Covid measure and not wanting to be vaccinated). But non Christian rightwing people aren't necessarily against abortion.
There are many on the left that wouldn't consider having an abortion, but don't want to make it illegal for others. I would say that people on the left seem to be pro women's rights, pro gay rights, pro minorities rights and anti discrimination. In this way people that are on the left (Socially rather than fiscally) are supportive of diversity, and supportive of adults making their own decisions. I am on the left when it comes to social matters. But I am on the right (slightly) when it comes to fiscal matters.

The right wants freedom during covid and the left wants to shut thing down and force vaccinations and mask wearing.
This isn't a matter of right or left, neither socially, nor fiscally.
D Trump and USA rightwing media decided strangly to fight against any and all covid measures. Even Pence and his covid taskforce (during the Trump admin) were recommending masks and social distancing. It was under Trump's Warpspeed that the vaccine was developed.
Trump, and Carlson etc got vaccinated very early, but they did it on the sly rather than out in the open like any responsible leader.

Saying the left is sane and pragmatic proves that.
Except I didn't say that at all, I didn't even imply that.
I implied that sane and pragmatic people decided to go along with the scientific recommendations for masks, social distancing and getting vaccinated. And that Rightwing media choose to make the opposite a "right" thing, and called doing the pragmatic thing a "left" thing. It was never a left thing.
CRT.is being pushed by the left. Hard. It's all over these boards.
I'm not seeing anyone promote CRT on these boards. I am seeing hyperpartisan right wingers complain about CRT, but I'm not seeing anyone promoting or supporting it.

The left has been diding this country with the politics of division for a long time now.

Rich vs poor
Whites vs other races
Women vs men
None of this is true.
Left wing politics haven't been attacking rich or whites or men. You are getting your position of the left from Right wing media, not from people who are actually on the left.

If you want to know what the left want with regard to Border policies then ask people on the left. Don't get your opinion of this from right wing media.

Lol, where do you think I get that information? From the left! Everytime there is a border conversation on this board the left is for policies that in effect are open borders. The radical left is for open borders. The left in general is for policies that allow floods if people to come into the country with out going through the proper processes. Then make them legal since they arw here.

Leftists want to abolish ICE. They are for catch and release knowing most don't show for their hearings, then support making the all legal. In San Francisco the left wants to register all illegals so they can vote. Biden is getting rid of title 42. Warren wanted to decriminalize illegal immigration. Raising asylum numbers knowing most don't show for their hearings. They have released 2 million illegals into the streets of America.

You can't tell me it's not a left vs right issue. If you were correct there wouldn't be any right wing media for me to get my information from as you claim.

Many USA Christians want to outlaw abortion. They are not pro-life, they don't care at all about life (evidenced by their fighting against Covid measure and not wanting to be vaccinated). But non Christian rightwing people aren't necessarily against abortion.

Yes you are a leftist. Thanks for admitting that.

This isn't a matter of right or left, neither socially, nor fiscally.

Trump, and Carlson etc got vaccinated very early, but they did it on the sly rather than out in the open like any responsible leader.

Once again you prove you are a leftist. I'm absolutely on the right. But I got vaccinated. And the right was agaisnt mandated vaccines, masks that don't work (its been proven) shut downs that would really harm the economy (and we are seeing the results of that)

Except I didn't say that at all, I didn't even imply that.
I implied that sane and pragmatic people decided to go along with the scientific recommendations for masks, social distancing and getting vaccinated. And that Rightwing media choose to make the opposite a "right" thing, and called doing the pragmatic thing a "left" thing. It was never a left thing.

Yes it was a left thing because the left wanted all those things and you know what in the beginning we all went along. Then as things progressed we realized the science didn't really support that after all. As we have discovered the science was wrong on a number of things. But the left continued to push false information.

I'm not seeing anyone promote CRT on these boards. I am seeing hyperpartisan right wingers complain about CRT, but I'm not seeing anyone promoting or supporting it.

Then you are not paying attention.

None of this is true.
Left wing politics haven't been attacking rich or whites or men. You are getting your position of the left from Right wing media, not from people who are actually on the left.

Yes he did and we believe in the same. We believe in the dream he had of unity and colorblindness where all men are equal. And we had come a long way since then and we're continuing to improve until the modern left decided to start dividing us in race. Trying to convince people that whites were inherently racist and oppressors and blacks were the oppressed.
