Richard Grenell Upset Gays, White Men 'Weren't Considered' for SCOTUS

\u201c@RichardGrenell So every Judge up until Sandra Day-O\u2019Conner should have an asterisk because not every American was considered for the position.\u201d

\u201c@RichardGrenell Fact: Since the Supreme Court was established in 1789, 114 justices have served on the bench.\nOf those, 108 have been White men. \n\nFiction: Your argument.\u201d

\u201c@ReginaMcMullen7 @RichardGrenell Amen.\nThis was not a precedent. \nCandidate pool has been restricted for hundreds of years.\nFor the first 178 years of SCOTUS (77% of its existence), only white men were considered. \nFor the first 204 years (88% of the existence of SCOTUS), only men were considered.\u201d

\u201c@RichardGrenell JUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson is eminently qualified. The Court should represent all Americans. And we've probably already had a (few) gay Justices, tbh...\u201d

\u201c@RichardGrenell There's currently a Black man, an Hispanic woman, a White woman, and White men on the bench. Having a Black woman is a step toward a better representation of American society.\u201d

\u201c@RichardGrenell There are 108 seats on the Supreme Court with an asterisk - because not every American was considered to fill it. \n\nHispanics, Asians, Blacks, Native Americans, gays and women were not even considered.\n\nThat was a terrible precedent.\u201d

\u201c@RichardGrenell Sometimes you have to make up for a mistake--in this case, about 200 years of never considering anyone BUT a white man. During his campaign Reagan announced he would choose a woman for the SC. So he set the precedent.\u201d
