She Definitely Belongs on this Board

"Bitch, please" is in current usage on the FB and was not personal in any way.

Wrong and wrong. They will not oppose just anyone, just like they are not opposing most of Bush's nominees to the appellate courts. And they are not opposing "the" minorities. You've identified exactly two, assuming that they oppose Brown, which is not clear yet.

See Clarence Thomas. . . . . The point being is that the left does not combat these folks based on ideas (as losing proposition for the left), but rather on racial issues.
I laugh at you if you think the left is scared of combatting Clarence Thomas on ideas. The man is a mediocrity who owes his seat to his race. With his credentials, he never would have been named to the D.C. Circuit if he was white, let alone the Supreme Court, as everyone knows. He has earned no respect in all of his years on the bench.

Quote:
The left also refuses to approve school choice/vouchers which would most benefit poor people (a large percentage of which are minorities), even though those minorities overwhelmingly are in favor of vouchers. Why? Because the teachers' union opposes them.
This is an absolute load of crap. People oppose vouchers because they think vouchers are a recipe to help a small segment of middle-class voters and to hurt the public schools and the people left in them. The fight is about the very proposition that you take as a premise -- whether vouchers would benefit poor people. I tend to think not.
