    Kamala HO doesn't pass the smell test for a supreme court seat

    1) despite being an affirmative action poster child with a father as a tenured professor at Stanford, she didn't get into any of the big three law schools in California. Not Stanford, not Cal-Berkeley nor UCLA

    2) she wasn't on the law review at UC Davis

    3) she wasn't in the top of her class at UC Hastings. she flunked the bar the first time she took it

    4) she didn't clerk for a supreme court Justice

    5) she is not well regarded as a jurist

    in other words, she isn't close to being qualified

    At one time those might be legitimate objections. But it's 2024 with a Democratic Senate and if it's politically expedient to move her to the SC to get her out of the way, Schumer would move the nomination along and the she would pass out of the Judiciary committee. The only challenge would be in figuring out how to stop Republicans from asking questions during the hearings.

    Like I said, I don’t understand that hatred for Kamala, it IS real. The polls show that to be true

    Personally I think she is a rock star, but I do have to point out that she doesn't poll very well. Hell, you NEVER see her on TV…

    the democrats were whining about Justice Barrett because she "only went to Notre Dame" Notre Dame is ranked higher than Hastings and Barrett was -as the Dean of Notre Dame noted "the best student we have had in THIRTY YEARS. #1 in her class. Kamala Ho didn't even make honors at Hastings nor the law review. She's way way under qualified to be a supreme Court Justice

    Like I said, it's 2024. I just don't believe Democrats are going to care if she went to the Ivy League or a community college if they can count on her voting the right way, and they can. You don't need to know much about the law to know how you're supposed to vote. Your objections are from an earlier age when things like qualifications mattered.

    I think there are a few Democrats who would not support such an unqualified POS.

    I think it's funny to watch the left throw their own overboard in the interest of power, one reason Bob Menendez is still a senator. Democrats care more about the power and being in control than doing the right thing and throwing him overboard. Sotomayor is an expendable pawn in the power game.

    It's a politically-expedient solution to the problem of how to get Kamala off the Democrat ticket. As a former Attorney General, Democrats can say she's got the necessary legal qualifications (whether that's really true or not). The important thing is that she'll be 'let down easy' and honorably -- and taken out of the election spotlight! And, sure, she'll vote the 'woke', liberal Democrat Party line on every issue, so... 'why not'? :wink:

    Oh, you've made me think of another reason to stick Kamala-la-la on the Supreme Court! If we really do count Kamala Harris as being "Black" ( :roll: ), then Democrats could trumpet their success in achieving a Supreme Court with THREE Blacks on it! As we've seen for over a decade, the whole "DEI" obsession is of paramount importance to all 'woke' Democrats, so, that would be 'icing on the cake'....

    Just think: in a country where Blacks make up just 13.8% of the population, putting even a "Black-ish" Kamala on the SCOTUS would yield Black representation on the Supreme Court at 33 1/3%...! A positively stellar Democrat accomplishment! :cheerleader:

    NOT Really...
    1) It has ZERO Chance of happening...
    2) It would be completely idiotic and make no sense...

    Sounds about right, considering the RW Conservative Justices would be writing the "Majority Opinion".

    a rock star?

    1) so lame as a student she couldn't get into any of the top three law schools in California despite having to meet far lower standards than white males or white females and having a tenured father at Stanford?

    2) a rock star who flunked the bar exam and used oral sex to gain her first position

    3) a complete zero as a vice president

    Seems like her only claim to fame was that Obama noted he thought she was "the hottest DA" in the USA

    I hate the fact that Biden and the Democrat party is trying to balkanize the USA into warring ethnic groups by making ethnicity and gender superior to merit and achievement. Kamala Harris is a perfect representative of the current democrat party. Her gender and ethnicity got her jobs that she clearly was not particularly qualified for. And she pretend she achieved despite her race and gender when in reality she got to where she was due to her race and gender (and strategically administered blow jobs)

    Taft was president from 1909 to January 1913. He became Chief Justice in 1921. Where was the “double dipping?”

    Really? You should check in with tRaitor tRump and his White Supremacist supporters before you start throwing rocks in your glass house.
    That's a despicable lie. You're inflating that she dated Willie Brown into something it never was.

    Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker. And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. -Willie Brown

    can you prove Trump is a traitor? of course not
    can you prove he is a "white supremacist" of course not
    And you claim i have told a despicable lie when she was giving hummers to a guy twice her age for political favors?

    I have far more evidence for my claims about Kamala than you do about Trump. WE are amused at how the big orange man caused you so much hurt. It's hilarious

    I don't have to it was on TV.
    I didn't say he was.
    They "guy" that would know, said they dated. Anything beyond that is hateful supposition on your part.
    You watched her blow Willie Brown .. I don't think so.
    You and that mouse in your pocket.

    there was none and Taft had extensive judicial experience prior to becoming president and then CJ. HE was a top student at Yale, graduating second in his class

    what you saw on TV is not treason but rather your biased opinion that has no support in the laws of the United States

    she admitted it.
