Affirmative Action in the Supreme Court
When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) both Congress and the President begin an agenda of filling the vacancy. According to the Constitution, it is the President with both the authority and responsibility to nominate a Supreme Court justice and the Senate is to confirm the nomination while the Chief Justice administers the Oath of Office.
When Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were nominated their confirmation hearings were broadcast publically so that everyone became politically divided. Instead of questioning each potential justice on where they stood constitutionally, they were caught up in tabloid-style allegations and treated unbecoming as one potentially becoming a Supreme Court justice.
The recent announced retirement of Justice Breyer has once again heated up the debate as President Biden is said to be considering a woman of color for the bench, which mocks the sanctity of the Court, is unlawful and entirely unbecoming to use gender, skin color or political affiliation for consideration rather than judicial experience, track record or standing on the constitutionality of cases to be brought before this esteemed body.
Do you remember hearing then Senator Kamala Harris calling Judge Amy Coney Barrett a liar during her confirmation hearing in 2020? That conduct from a member of Congress is totally unnecessary and absolutely uncalled for. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

5. I detest "Politics as Usual".
6. I'm pro-life (Abortion is murder) and there is no justification or excuse for it.
7. I believe that we must place the security and welfare of America First!
Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs
For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion.
I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump.
There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience.
My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
