Joe Biden opposed her for the same reasons Barack Obama opposed her. Explain why you think Joe Biden said only a person's color matters? The Republican ploy makes for high comedy, really: Republicans to Blacks: "We nominated a Black Woman.. . a token, yes, but a Black Woman, nevertheless, and those Democrats opposed her. See?

Ronald Reagan promised to nominate a woman to the supreme court and he did so with Sandra Day O'Conner. Was that okay? Or was it sexist for him to say and do so? Donald Trump also promised to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat with a woman. Was that sexist? I am sure I could find the thread where all of you were outraged about it somewhere. Reagan also thought it would be great to have an Italian-American on the SC when he nominated Scalia. Was that racist? Eisenhower nominated Brennan because he was Catholic. What was that all about? Let's stop pretending that this is a big deal. It's not.
