But they had no problem putting an old white dude who’s losing his mind (@JoeBiden) in the much-more consequential presidency.
Real reason?
@SenFeinstein got thrown overboard by the @SenateDems’ old white dudes, because she didn’t act like a horse’s ass during Justice Barrett’s confirmation.
The other Democrats didn’t learn their lesson from Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation (when losing 4 incumbents).
And the @SenateDems even refused to allow @SenFeinstein to resume chairing the Senate Drug Caucus.
They gave the chairmanship to another old white dude — who completely lost his mind long ago (@SenWhitehouse).
And democrats pretend they want more diversity on the federal bench.
Then viciously attack women and minority judicial nominees—and sitting judges, like Justice Clarence Thomas (now even his wife)—who aren’t reliable leftwing judicial activists.
Leftwing activists have long been angry that Justice Clarence Thomas escaped their plantation—and Ginni Thomas never worked in their kitchen.
Ginni is a great American patriot, just like CT.
And he doesn’t pretend to own his wife.
She’s a conservative, who thinks for herself.

For nearly 2 years, Senate Democrats — including Joe Biden — filibustered the nomination of then-California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown to the D.C. Circuit.
She likely would have been the first Black female Justice.
President Biden’s likely top 2 Supreme Court contenders:
1. DC Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (51):
Harvard; Harvard Law; clerked for Justice Stephen Breyer; DC federal trial judge (2013-21); elevated to DC Circuit a year ago; legal analysis like Justice Sonia Sotomayor
2. California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger (45):
Harvard; Yale Law; clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens; a former top Supreme Court counsel to President Obama; appointed to her court in 2015; reportedly declined to be Biden’s SG; legal analysis like Justice Elena Kagan
