Conservatives are digging up a very, very inconvenient part of President Joe Biden’s past as he prepares to pick the first black woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court.

On Wednesday, Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement, paving the way for the 46th president to get his first Supreme Court nomination and he re-upped on a promise he made during his campaign to select a candidate on the basis of her gender and skin color.

Thank goodness so many civil rights and women’s rights activists worked for so long for important American figures to be reduced to nothing more than sex and ethnicity, am I right?

Wow. Progress.

Well, as it happens, as a senator, Biden not only worked hard to prevent the historic appointment of a black woman to a U.S. Circuit Court, but he used the filibuster, which Democrats now claim is racist, to do it.
