On the latest episode of FiredUp we look at President Biden’s Supreme Court pick now that Justice Breyer is retiring from the Court. Specifically, we look at and ask about WHY are we getting pushback from the Conservative Right when the individuals named to the current short list are superbly qualified to sit on the SCOTUS bench. Maybe it is the fact that all of the candidates are Black Women? President Biden promised as a candidate for the Presidency, that if he got the opportunity to nominate a SCOTUS justice, it would be a Black female.
We also look at the debate in the Senate this past week over restrictions, proposed as well as presently in force, to voting rights that was held by the only three black Senators presently in the Senate, 2 Democrat and 1 Republican. Senators Warnock (D-GA), Scott (R-SC) and Booker (D-NJ). What made this debate distinctive from prior debates was that 1 it lasted 10 hours; 2 it was a civil debate; and 3 it showed exactly what the value of diversity is in a deliberative body.
Finally as we prepare to enter Black History Month we have a list of first contribution and contributors to American culture and history by Black Americans
