Biden not 'satisfied' until half SCOTUS is women; 🏛

[Iamaartist]

Joseph R. Biden says he won’t be “satisfied” until half of the U.S. Supreme Court is filled with women who hold a “living document” view of the Constitution.
The former vice president told Democrats on the campaign trail that “academia” agrees with him: Supreme Court justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have a philosophically correct view of the high court.
“I for 22 years, I think it was, taught constitutional laws, the separation of powers. What I presided over as the chairman of the Judiciary Committee — they tell me more Supreme Court nomination judges than anybody in history just because I’ve been around so long. The people that I would appoint to the Court, are people who have a view of the Constitution as a living document, not as a state document,” he said Dec. 28 while speaking in Washington, Iowa

1. That alone should get him the woman vote. nt

2. What is his issue with Justice Sotomayor ?

Odd that he omits her from the women justices who he specifically mentions as having a "philosophically correct view of the high court." Did he disagree with her appointment by President Obama?

3. I'm personally advocating for women to be appointed

with every retirement until it's an all woman court. And then remain so for the next two hundred years.

4. The first step would be to increase the number of justices

That would give him a lot of slots to fill with women.

5. This Belongs In The Party Platform

I enjoy any chance to agree with Vice President Biden. He sure is right about this, just as PBO was correct last month when he stated that the world would be better off if women led.

6. I won't be satisfied until the President is a Democratic woman

The time is now

7. First step would have been getting one during the Obama administration instead of letting

Mitch win that fight.

8. Didn't he appoint both Kagan and Sotomayor ?

9. We lost Scalia's seat because Administration hands tied by McConnell.

That wasn't obvious in my post? With Biden's ability to work across the isle, I am sorely disappointed we lost that seat.
