ICHEOKU says it would be a great opportunity for President Donald John Trump to forever etch his name in the annals of history as the president who appointed the first black female Justice of the Supreme Court. Such an appointment have many advantages including a boost to the president's re-election effort. By nominating a black female judge, the president would exercise the proverbial imperative of using one stone to kill two birds. First, he would secure his nominee and second, he would please black voters by once again displaying that he is not a racist and does not hate black people.
Bill Clinton appointed Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Obama appointed Sotomayor and Kaine; and Trump would then be the first American president to have appointed a black female Justice of the Supreme Court. Such a minority candidate will be difficult to oppose by the Democrats, especially in this days of Black Lives Matter protests as anyone going after her will be fiercely shutdown. Such a black candidate will be least resisted as the Democrats will not want to be seen or perceived as being in the way of the first black female Supreme Court Justice nominee. Such a nominee will also not trigger the #MeToo raging madness as women usually do not sexually harass men and even if they do, men don't like to kiss and tell. Lastly, such a nomination will finally shut up the president's critics who accuse him of being a racist and a hater of black people.
It will be an enduring masterstroke by the president which will keep the Democratic Party wondering what hit them like a thunderbolt and of course, it will take out whatever oxygen they might have going into the November election. It will depress many of their supporters whose primary election objective is Supreme Court focused; and in such a way that they will likely decide to sit out the election since their Supreme Court motivation would have been lost.
The president should seriously consider making such a nomination in view of the current hyper-charged political atmosphere in which the Democratic Party foist America. ICHEOKU says if Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and confirmation hearing process was tough, nominating another white male or a none black nominee will simply see the roof blown out in opposition. But a deftly calculated move of nominating a black female judge for the seat will totally and completely evaporate the resistance and opposition. It will also play well in further endearing the president in the minds of black people.
Justice Anthony Thomas has so far proved that black conservatives are very reliable and putting another black associate Justice in the Supreme Court, a female, will be a welcome addition and an excellent choice.
And yes, ICHEOKU says celebrates the opportunity which RBG's exit has now availed the president to nominate her replacement. Were the opportunity to have similarly availed the Democrats they will do the same, hurriedly make her replacement. These are the same people who rushed to impeach the president for no cogent reason other than to gain a political advantage in the election year 2018. So appointing a replacement for RBG because of a political advantage in an election year is equally not a bad move. It is politics and politics is a game of philosophical advantages. The president therefore must not let off.
It is also not important to play the wait and see game, waiting to first see the result of the November 3rd election before acting on her vacancy. Such delay will only embolden the Democrats and give them the reason to fight on and increase their fervor in their hope that Joe Biden will fill the vacant seat, if and when he wins on November.
That hope should and must be ruthlessly dashed immediately and leave them gasping for air like a fish out of water. The president must force the Democrats to surrender their will to fight on and it must be done now. Such move will put the coalition of the not so unwilling Joe Biden's supporters into a complete tail-spin and will be additional good reelection strategy now that the Almighty have intervened in the RBG never ending saga. If the shoes were on the other feet, the Democrats would gleefully do it and so should the Republicans. Let the nominee get her day in the Judiciary Committee and let the talking heads talk about it long after the election has been won and lost and the Supreme Court still kept under conservative firm control.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed despite the mounted opposition and as always they can do the shouting after the deed is done. The need to fill the vacancy is particularly riveting since nobody knows how the Chief Justice would vote should the election be contested. So, it is good to retain a solid conservative majority in the Supreme Court with the appointment, just in case they are needed to rule in a particular manner. ICHEOKU wishes the president God's speed as he proceeds with the nomination and to RBG, rest on tireless warrior of the far left feminist rebels.
