    President Joe Biden had a chance once to get a Black woman onto the Supreme Court, but he filibustered a vote twice during former President George W. Bush's administration to block Janice Rogers Brown from being seated, reports The Washington Examiner.

    Biden was ideologically opposed to Brown's conservative writings on the subjects of affirmative action and abortion.

    Sen. Joe Biden stated at the time that if Bush chose Brown to replace O'Connor, the Democrats would filibuster her nomination, stating that circuit court judges, unlike Supreme Court justices, "don't get to make new law."

    Democrats also filibustered Bush’s 2001 nomination of Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Circuit. Estrada, a conservative, would have been the first Latino appointed to that bench but rescinded his name from consideration after being blocked for two consecutive years.

    The president has become increasingly critical of the Senate filibuster rule, calling it a relic of Jim Crow segregation laws.

    Gosh the independents must be outraged at the GOP for this

    Using a relic of Jim Crow on a person who lived in Jim Crow. And the Dems see no issues here. Herr Dazzler voted for this.

    Biden has no interest on getting a black woman on the court. He wants one who thinks like his handlers. Only those on the far left will be considered.
