 | Color Blind Justice? Obama continues to use Gender and Race when making Judicial AppointmentsScotty Starnes | September 13, 2011 at 4:39 PM | Tags: diversity, gender, liberals, President Obama, race | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5PZ |
It's all being done in the name of "diversity." Instead of selecting the best INDIVIDUAL for the position, Obama uses race and gender to make his judicial appointments. Justice is blind but Obama wants skin color and gender to rule.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is moving at a historic pace to try to diversify the nation's federal judiciary: Nearly three of every four people he has gotten confirmed to the federal bench are women or minorities. He is the first president who hasn't selected a majority of white males for lifetime judgeships.
Is this really shocking? Liberals often use race and gender to make decisions. It's in their history.
More than 70 percent of Obama's confirmed judicial nominees during his first two years were "non-traditional," or nominees who were not white males. That far exceeds the percentages in the two-term administrations of Bill Clinton (48.1 percent) and George W. Bush (32.9 percent), according to Sheldon Goldman, author of the authoritative book "Picking Federal Judges."
Is bragging about a President using race and gender, over qualifications and judicial knowledge, really an accomplishment?
"It is an absolutely remarkable diversity achievement," said Goldman, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who is only counting judges once, even if they fit more than one category.
The White House recently has been touting its efforts to diversify the federal bench during Obama's tenure, now approaching three years in office.
Just what America doesn't need: more radical progressives who have a disdain for the Constitution.
...Of the 98 Obama nominees confirmed to date, the administration says 21 percent are African-American, 11 percent are Hispanic, 7 percent are Asian-American and almost half — 47 percent — are women. By comparison, of the 322 judges confirmed during George W. Bush's presidency, 18 percent were minorities and 22 percent were female. Of the 372 judges confirmed during Clinton's terms, 25 percent were minorities and 29 percent were women. In these figures, some judges fit into more than one category.
