I simply commented on the fact that his skin color and ethnicity is being trumpeted as a selling point - which I personally find reprehensible.
Judge Thapar's credentials - entirely apart from his ethnicity - are sterling. In the political ju-jitsu in which we are engaged with the Dems, his ethnicity - just like Clarence Thomas' before him - is a "resume enhancer" only in the sense that it puts the lie to the Dem obsession with identity politics.
I was, I'll admit, reluctant to start this thread even though I strongly believe Judge Thapar is the best choice for the nomination, for exactly what has happened here - anything I post, even without my own editorial comment attached, is immediately fodder for personal attack.
I can only ask that folks read the two articles I attached without prejudice. An impossibility for INVAR, but hopefully not for most of the other members here.
