Tweet text: Did you know Amy Coney Barrett is sitting in a stolen judicial seat right now? In May 2017, Trump nominated Barrett to IN seat on Seventh Circuit, which covers Indiana, Illinois & Wisconsin. This is same seat to which President Obama nominated Myra Selby, a Black woman, in 2016.

But Republican Senators blocked Selby’s confirmation and saved the seat for Donald Trump. After Trump was elected Seventh Circuit lost its only Black judge to retirement. The Shelby appointment would have retained diversity on this court. 2/

Instead, Trump appointed four white individuals to Seventh Circuit, including Amy Barrett. The Seventh Circuit is now the only all-white federal appellate court in the country. 3/

4. That is an excellent point

I wondered why there was such a gap between the previous judge and Barrett.

This stinks to the high heavens.

8. that informs the other facet that AA Forum wrote: "virtuous citizens" is a Jim Crow, racist ruse

She wrote that only virtuous citizens qualify to sit on juries and so on.

I posted about it last night, and I will bring that link here.

This is about those white supremacist Republicans stacking courts with WHITE folk.

11. Not a Judge by her own merits,

buy by submission to men who put her there.

12. Wow! It really is all about racism.

I am thinking that even killing Obamacare is mostly about racism. Wow! Maybe people of color have known this all along. But I thought appointing conservative judges had a lot to do with abortion and religion, but I am thinking they are just the followers, the marks, the suckers.

13. K and fucking R

14. Of course Trump stole it

Trump and his Republican crooks don’t care about people of color. They will do anything and everything they can to disenfranchise them.

15. Can you say white privilege

Thx Mitch

16. Out of 11 judges, 9 are GOP appointments and 4 are Trump appointments.

Are the GOPers planning on committing lots of crimes in Illinois and Wisconsin and appealing to this court? Looks like they are stacking it to become their go to appeals court.
