Lindsey has always been consistent on SCOTUS nominees - put forward someone qualified and he’ll vote to confirm them.

There is some truth to this except for one thing -

Everybody with a brain knew Kamala was an empty suit (to use JSO’s fallacious logic)

But there are a couple black women out there who are eminently qualified for the high court … and if Biden nominates one of them then the Harris analogy will not apply.
True. All Biden had to say during the 2020 campaign and last week was somethig along the lines of ‘am going to pick from among a diverse field of candidates, yada, yada, the end. Then picks one of those couple of well-qualified black female judges. Then there’s no arguement that it's an affirmative action/quota pick.

Instead, Biden makes his preemptive race/gender litmus test pledge during the campaign and last week. It unnecessarily undermines his nominee on the court, it further politicizes the court (I know its totally politicized anyway, but it causes more to look at it that way). Just dumb on Biden’s part (really his handlers). To be expected I guess from the king of identity politics.
We've had 5 years of Presidents saying stupid sh!t. Why is it a big deal now when you didn't mind it for the first four years?

What if you DID mind it? But just not as much as some people? And what if you tolerated it only because the alternative (policy-wise) was worse?

I know you minded it but that was a response to BDK who defended and deflected for Trump as stupid shit came from his mouth and fingertips. Now he wants to make a big deal of Biden saying stupid shit?

My thoughts are he wants you to quit acting like a woman and bringing up the same past over and over. Plus pick a point. ;)

Though I do not want to speak for Mr. Ivy.

Tough. I'll stop bringing up the same past when the people that defended Trump stop criticizing Biden for similar screwups and vice versa. That's my point and I'm sticking to it. :P

But what’s your end game? The two sides will always hate each other, and there’s no bridging that gap. Stop acting like a woman! :lol:

Its my schtick so tough!

What's the end game of defending/deflecting for one bozo only to criticize another bozo for similar words/actions? What's your endgame? Why do you kvetch about me pointing out the hypocrisy but say nothing about the hypocrisy? The two sides may hate each other but they're also mirror images of each other.

Because the hypocrisy is obvious, and boring to recite time after time. It’s politics. What’s your own point of view? That’s what CS posters really want to know. And also whether you’re getting laid out there.

I've put out my point of view plenty of time in debates with Kalm, Trip, etc. I'm a fiscally conservative, socially liberal, small L libertarian.

A lack of classical education is no reason to look down on certain phrases. :ohno:

Homer was required reading in HS and college for us and I personally have a copy of the Iliad and Odyssey in my library (I like the prose). Then again I also have a copy of the collected works of Tennyson and Blackstone. So I might not be a fair judge.
