It seems likely that we are soon going to have our first Black Female Supreme court justice. The committee that reviewed her went totally partisan in their vote. While the Republicans on the committee used various reasons, it comes down to her being nominated by a Democratic President, the fact that she has some liberal opinions and the fact that she is Black.
Since she is replacing a long serving liberal justice, her being liberal does not change the court balance so when you see liars talking about her vote could have swung past decisions that were decided by one vote, it isn't likely since she is likely to vote the same way the person she is replacing would have. It shows how contemptuous Republicans are of their base.
They have already declared, sight unseen, that they will block any future Biden nominees. For all those who regret the loss of bipartisanship, if we ever had any, this is a clear indicator of why.
