Hillary: GOP block on SCOTUS appointment is racist, y’know
posted at 10:01 am on February 17, 2016 by Ed Morrissey

   

How interesting is it that the two most vocal politicians objecting to Republican opposition to a Supreme Court nomination both voted to filibuster an earlier one? Campaigning in Harlem yesterday, Hillary Clinton accused Senate Republicans of racism for announcing that they will not confirm any nominee to the Supreme Court in replacement of the late Antonin Scalia, who passed away on Saturday.

Quote
    “The Republicans say they’ll reject anyone President Obama nominates no matter how qualified. Some are even saying he doesn’t have the right to nominate anyone, as if somehow he’s not the real president,” Clinton said during remarks at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, referring to the recent passing of Supreme Court JusticeAntonin Scalia.

    “You know that’s in keeping what we heard all along, isn’t it?” she continued. “Many Republicans talk in coded racial language about takers and losers. They demonize President Obama and encourage the ugliest impulses of the paranoid fringe,” she continued. “This kind of hatred and bigotry has no place in our politics or our country.

Miguel Estrada was nominated by President Bush for a seat on the DC Court of Appeals in May 2001, but was filibustered by Senate Democrats and withdrew his nomination in September 2003 after waiting over two years because Democrats could not countenance the idea of an accomplished Hispanic jurist on the Federal bench who might then go on in time to be nominated to the Supreme Court.

But that wasn't racist.

Hillary needs to build good will and popularity (high polls) among democratic primary voters. It's her only hope of staying out of jail. She's not running to be president. She's running to stay out of prison.
