Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-LA) spoke against the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court Friday, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee Kavanaugh’s statement that “in the eyes of government we are just one race” is damning.
Richmond painted Kavanaugh’s nomination as part of an injection of “bigots” into the federal judiciary, although he stopped short of describing Kavanaugh himself as a bigot. “President Trump has seized on this opportunity to pack the court by selecting judicial nominees who lack pragmatism and are often strikingly unqualified and proven intolerant bigots,” he said. “We’re in the midst of a fundamental shift towards nominees that embrace ideology at the fringes of mainstream legal thought.”
Richmond claimed that “voting rights,” “education,” and “criminal law outcomes,” would “be greatly endangered” by Judge Kavanaugh – to whom he referred only as “Mr. Kavanaugh” – taking a seat on the Supreme Court.

Speaking of addressing individuals I was curious as to how Obama should be addressed since he is now a citizen. It appears that he is to be addressed as Mr Obama. Not President Obama. When speaking of Obama it is correct to say former President Obama. I believe when Judge Kavanaugh is still a judge so he should be called Judge Kavanaugh vice Mr.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you think "Lady Justice" wears a blindfold?
ReplyDeleteThey have made themselves irrelevant with their nonsense.
ReplyDeleteCedric Richmond is a racist.
ReplyDeletethe Black Caucus is a Racist Organization. Judge Kavanaugh is correct; in the eyes of Government there is NO race. Just like in the Eyes of God; Red and Yellow, Black and White we are ALL precious in His site. The color of skin is obviously different, BUT our blood is Red...God looks at the Heart.
