    “DEI judge,” influencer Jack Posobiec posted on X, suggesting that Barrett was a “diversity, equity and inclusion” hire, presumably because she is a woman.

    1/4 of Americans right there.

    Idiots.

      I mean statistically women outnumber men. So if we’re hiring men we are hiring from a minority pool and it’s statistically unlikely we are getting the best people for the job. Men are DEI hires

        Yeah but the requirement of the GOP hiring process for a Supreme Court Judge is they have to be against a woman’s right to choose. So in that pool, men outnumber women by a significant margin.

        You’d be correct only if you assume they’re hiring based solely on a candidate’s knowledge of the law.

    I’m sure we’re still in a constitutional crisis but I’ll take that over blind capitulation. The wider this chasm expands, the better.

    Keep driving that wedge.
