I would say it is and you can’t really make a legit argument against it. The man said he would nominate a black woman if he had to pick a new SCJ. I will add every single list I have seen of potential candidates. No matter what network or news source, not a single list had anyone on it that was not a black woman. All I am going by is the evidence before us, if you know something else please share it?
Making “black woman” a prerequisite doesn’t mean it’s the only criteria. That’s my point. He’s limiting his pool to black women, but he’s not choosing someone like Candace Owens. They have to still meet other criteria. Which goes back to the OP. He didn’t blindly support a black female judicial nominee simply because they were a black female.

But in this case that is exactly what he is doing because that is what he said he would do. Do you think this is legal?
What if in 4 years there is another republican President and he says he be picking a southern white male for the SC because he feels they are underrepresented on the court. Would this be legal? Of course it’s not 2 seconds after words left his mouth the democrats would start the process of impeachment

Obviously there has to be other considerations. Obviously a leftist isn’t going to nominate another Clearance Thomas or Candace Owens, but the issue at hand is the racist standard of using skin color to filter out candidates before looking at anything else.
It is against the law for a hiring manager at a private company to say that they will only consider black candidates or female candidates (or only black females) and then follow through with that criteria when hiring because it is discrimination.
