Va. Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears: Where Was Joe Biden When We Wanted Janice Rogers Brown To Be on the Supreme Court?

‘So what I’m saying, let’s not continue this division’

EXCERPT:

SEARS: "Well, that’s the thing. When I first heard that he was going to nominate the first black woman, I thought to myself, three words: Janice Rogers Brown. Where were you, Mr. President, when we wanted her to be on the Supreme Court? So what I’m saying is, let’s not continue this division. It’s not unheard of. We’ve done it with gender, we’ve done it with religion, we’ve done it with race. So the court is kind of going back, or the politics of it, anyway, is going back to the court’s first 100 years of existence where it was very highly partisan. It is the precedent. So, what we want then is for someone who respects the Constitution, who is not going to be divisive and who is very highly qualified, who will set aside the politics and judge fairly. And I think he will get there."
