Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | ABC Poll: Americans Have "Sharply Negative" Reaction to Biden's Vow to Discriminate On Basis of Sex and Race in Filling Supreme Court SeatBiden's promise to appoint a black female Supreme Court Justice if he became president (or, as it turns out, " " " president " " ") was a quid pro quo for getting the endorsement of influential black congressman Jim Clyburn. As the New York Times reported:Mr. Biden made the promise at a debate in February 2020, just days before facing his Democratic rivals in the South Carolina primary, where Black people make up a large portion of the party's voters. At the time, his campaign was struggling amid losses in two of the early presidential contests. "I'm looking forward to making sure there's a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented," Mr. Biden said that night. The promise helped Mr. Biden secure the support of Representative James Clyburn, a veteran Black Democrat from South Carolina, just days ahead of the party's contest in that state. Last year, Mr. Clyburn confirmed a report in the book "Peril," by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, that he had urged Mr. Biden to make the promise during the debate."Biden is now delivering on that gross political quid pro quo, but Americans are not happy about it. 76% want him to consider "all qualified candidates," not just black female ones. During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with the chance to do so, just over three-quarters of Americans (76%) want Biden to consider "all possible nominees." Just 23% want him to automatically follow through on his history-making commitment that the White House seems keen on seeing through. Although the poll's sample size was not large enough to break out results for Black people, only a little more than 1 in 4 nonwhite Americans (28%) wish for Biden to consider only Black women for the vacancy. Democrats are more supportive of Biden's vow (46%) than Americans as a whole, but still a majority of Democrats (54%) also prefer that Biden consider all possible nominees.The poll finds low ranks for Biden in all other areas, of course. A glaring weak spot for Biden is inflation, where 69% of Americans disapprove of his handling of this key issue.... Troublingly for the White House, only 1% of Americans view the state of the nation's economy as "excellent,"and only 23% say it's "good." Three out of four Americans said the state of the economy was "not so good / poor." Biden sees other troublesome disapproval numbers surrounding his handling of gun violence (69%), crime (64%), immigration (64%), the situation with Russia and Ukraine (56%) and the country's economic recovery (56%.) The country is split on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with 50% approving and 49% disapproving.Democrats continue turning from him as well: And while support from Democrats trends higher than the population as a whole, Biden's support within his own ranks is softening. In August, 91% of Democrats approved of Biden's handling of the pandemic. Now, that figure has dropped to 82%. The drop in support among Democrats around Biden's handling of the economic recovery is even clearer, from 89% in August to 73% now. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Here's my hot take on racial quotas.
They are DEEPLY unpopular, like 80% unpopular, but Republicans have for 40 years been too chickenshit to make it a political issue. Because the Dem/Media complex has convinced GOPe that it will drive black turnout if they touch it. We heard the same shit for 40 years about addressing illegal immigration, so we let the place absorb about 100 million border jumpers before Trump decided he would address it and it's very clear from polling illegal immigration and open border policies are deeply unpopular with Americans. All because GOPe made the assumption it would "drive latino turnout" to stop illegal immigration. Posted by: Blago at January 31, 2022 12:38 PM (PwNLq) 117

As far as Democrats are concerned, they are just upset that Biden once again said the quiet part out loud. They are fully supportive of racial preferences and would have lauded him for choosing a black woman if he had done that without this clumsy promise up front. But the Democrats do love racial preferences. Also don't discount that this may just have been Clyburn's latest demand, stupid as it is. He demanded that Biden say it out loud on the debate stage, maybe he demanded the same public commitment here. Either way, political malpractice that I am happy to see. Too bad there is little room left for the Democrats to lose more ground. Everyone decent with half a brain has already left them.

He had some muted taste/smell (only lasted a few days) but they both had suppressed appetites (which is also a standalone symptom of both the flu and the 'Rona). With suppressed appetite, either as its own thing or just because you can't taste anything and so don't enjoy eating, it's also really easy to just not drink enough water - and dehydration just makes everything radically worse.

Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at January 31, 2022 12:35 PM (3YVs3) ____________________________ I agree to an extent. Mostly right now it's bitterness over who gets more of the racial spoils and favors. For a while, hispanics thought they were in the driver's seat because Dumocraps salivated at the prospect of importing tens of millions of illegals to vote Dumocrap. That would have marginalized the black vote. But something changed in the last 3-5 years and especially with the nauseating nuclear explosion of worship for dead black career criminal scumbags like George Floyd. It became clear that blacks -- and not hispanics -- were the master race. So hispanics got fed up with the whole thing and started to look elsewhere. This is an over-simplification, but it's accurate I think. Posted by: Elric Blade at January 31, 2022 12:50 PM (iFTx/) Posted by: kallisto at January 31, 2022 12:50 PM (DJFLF) 224

Posted by: WisRich at January 31, 2022 12:45 PM (G0vdT) I still think Biden is gone shortly after the State of the Union, which is why they're trying to get this nominee picked and pushed through soon. He'll announce the nominee at the end of February, and in late March Schumer will start hearings, while the new Harris Admin is busy replacing everyone appointed to key positions during Biden's tenure. They don't want this as a fight because Biden is so unpopular that it's more likely to turn out opposition, and may even demoralize progressives if the admin decides to go with the "moderate dem" route.

Breyer is leaving in October. Posted by: Soothsayer's Actually, it is whenever his replacement is confirmed. For the most part, the timeline is late June to July. Scotus decides in a big conference in September which cases to consider in the next term of the court. Plus, a new justice wants to hire law clerks, etc. Dem and Rep Senators would be pissed to be in session in October of an election year to consider a nomination. Posted by: whig at January 31, 2022 12:55 PM (Iq9dF) 274
Where did you see the Breyer was stepping down in October? That makes no sense, as it would limit the time his replacement has to get settled onto the court, hire staff, etc. Last I saw from the news was that he'd retire "as soon as a replacement was confirmed" which, assuming that he originally intended to announce his retirement at the end of the term, would likely mean between May and September.

Tricky Dick won in 1968 and got to replace Warren because of that language despite urgings to rescind the retirement letter when Humphrey lost.

Hit historic levels of turnout in swing states, but not in other Dem dominated states. That there is a sign.
Essentially, ballot harvesting which was perfected in CA is what did it and there is some evidence that the voter rolls are padded in those swing states. Adjudication changing ballots (which is why ballot images were illegally deleted in GA for example) and some other means such as discarding GOP mail votes also probably occurred.

Some firms' billable hour requirements would definitely make a lot of people want to throw themselves off a tall building though.
Rehnquist wrote that when he was an associate billable hours were somewhere around 1600 or 1700 (operating off of memory here). Today: 2000+. And the requirement often understates the reality. The whole system has become something of a Ponzi scheme perpetrated by partners who think they all ought to be able to be members at the same clubs the wealthiest plaintiffs' lawyers belong to.

Of course, the worst part of the poll results is not that the country see Biden screwing up and not making anything better, but the fact that democrats won't see him as going far enough or focusing on the insipid things they want, while conservatives and rational people see him as doing exactly the opposite of the Right Thing in every single situation.
I'm sure, if asked, democrats who think Biden is not doing well on "gun violence" are angry that he hasn't confiscated every legally owned firearm across the land, not that he has obliterated any sense of responsibility for Law & Order or moral behavior. The same gulf most likely exists when it comes to energy policy; one side wants a return to 2019, when we were energy exporters and gas was $2/gal, and the other side wants windmills on every corner and to eliminate gas-powered vehicles. Righting this ship is gonna take more than putting Trump, McCarthy, and McConnell in power again. Half the country are post turtles. Posted by: red speck at January 31, 2022 01:04 PM (gS3OW) 337

--------- She jumped from high enough up to make sure she didn't survive. I sympathize with her on the billing hours. It's a shitty way to have to make a living, especially in those first years. She reportedly told a friend that she felt like she was losing her soul -- a not uncommon sentiment among a lot of young lawyers, usually with good reason. But she also had a side gig on Extra. She should have quit the law firm and gone into t.v. or politics full time. Then, like Michelle Obama, it would not have mattered that she couldn't cut it as a lawyer. She could have just sold herself as a brilliant and beautiful black lawyer and counted on the media to provide cover for her, as they did for Michelle (who was neither beautiful nor brilliant, and had also failed as a lawyer).

In 2003: It has been 25 years since Justice Powell first approved the use of race to further an interest in student body diversity in the context of public higher education. Since that time, the number of minority applicants with high grades and test scores has indeed increased. We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.

Kaus is correct but doesn't go far enough in his analysis. These maniacs really believe that being a black woman carries with that condition extra knowledge or wisdom (gnosis) unavailable to, for example, straight white men. And this extra knowledge is superior in kind to what you'd learn from musty old law books - knowledge from musty old law books is of course stained by white supremacy and yields the very intolerable inequalities that you see in the society. So the black woman jurist will be expected to use her extra knowledge to confound the operations of the points of law laid down in said musty old law books, and this will be heralded as a very special kind of brilliance.

American women have been deceived about fertility for a long time now.
Many start trying to have a kid around 35, when they should be starting in their early 20s. But...that would require a culture shift. People live long enough that your average 18 year old woman could look for a husband instead of a job. Have however many kids she wants and THEN work on her career. You got decades to be a corporate drone - but only until mid 30s before fertility really starts to drop.

This one. They burn people out at an amazing rate. I knew MANY Microsofties who went to Amazon for various reasons. They wanted a change, they were interested in the tech, they wanted to round out their resume, etc. 95% of them came back to Microsoft with horror stories about shit managers running people into the ground. Microsoft burns people out too, but Amazon is on a whole other level. Posted by: bonhomme at January 31, 2022 01:24 PM (VCz/u) Posted by: Tonypete at January 31, 2022 01:24 PM (mD/uy) 486
From NIH, then you add in .5% for stillbirth deaths (aka the neonatal deaths). That's the normal number per year that end after week 20. Week 20 being the "death rate drops a ton" moment.

"Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy..."
Posted by: Nova local at January 31, 2022 01:22 PM (exHjb) ++++ Okay. So in the Pfizer document they don't use "miscarriage" (I used that word, apparently inappropriately), they use "spontaneous abortion" which may not be the same thing. But the "likely higher because many occur very early in pregnancy" (with the implication that the woman who had the miscarriage may not have known she was pregnant) wouldn't be a factor in this data, I don't think, since in that case any side effects would have been in the non-pregnant data rather than the "pregnant woman" data. I didn't see anything in the Pfizer data about term length until negative effect, so that would bear looking into if it's in there (I haven't seen it yet).

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 31, 2022 01:27 PM (DU+/6) Spontaneous abortion is the terminology for pregnancy losses before week 20. So, it, by definition, is the miscarriage definition and rates. And my number from Mayo does not count those early people. The normal percent is 10-20% of KNOWN pregnancies end in miscarriage every year. Posted by: Nova local at January 31, 2022 01:31 PM (exHjb) 496

Would the public response still be so negative if the same process had not worked so badly in selecting a Vice President? Having a dreadful VP for 4 years is bad enough. Selecting a dreadful SCOTUS justice can linger for decades.

He could just have said he
was looking for the very best candidate and then picked a black woman and it would have had the same political effect for him, but wouldn't have been a slap in the face for her. Yes absolutely.
