    “DEI judge,” influencer Jack Posobiec posted on X, suggesting that Barrett was a “diversity, equity and inclusion” hire, presumably because she is a woman.

    1/4 of Americans right there.

    Idiots.

      I mean statistically women outnumber men. So if we’re hiring men we are hiring from a minority pool and it’s statistically unlikely we are getting the best people for the job. Men are DEI hires

        Yeah but the requirement of the GOP hiring process for a Supreme Court Judge is they have to be against a woman’s right to choose. So in that pool, men outnumber women by a significant margin.

        You’d be correct only if you assume they’re hiring based solely on a candidate’s knowledge of the law.

    I hate that every day I go to work I wonder how many people around me assume I got my job through DEI or sleeping with the right people. One of my old colleagues apparently went on a tirade claiming that the women and minorities were only there because of affirmative action and were stealing opportunities from him. This was his second job at the institution, he was fired from the first for sexual harassment after making repeated inappropriate remarks about a woman who was his superior. He was so over the top, he had to be escorted out by police. Also, he was terrible at his job. Talked a bunch of shit and super smug, but never actually seemed to be doing any work.

    I’m sure we’re still in a constitutional crisis but I’ll take that over blind capitulation. The wider this chasm expands, the better.

    Keep driving that wedge.
