Joe Biden has put himself in another pickle.  I’ve given up trying to make heads or tails of his reasoning.  Most days I’m pretty sure he has none.  That said, there are multiple reports that he made a deal with the devil a.k.a. Rep. James Clyburn, to become the Democrat candidate for President.  That deal was a promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court, should the opportunity arise.  I was among the many who were sanctimoniously decrying this promise as unconstitutional.   Turns out I was wrong.  The President has plenary power to pick whomever he damn well wants for certain positions, including for the Supreme Court.  He, theoretically, could have said he intended to pick a 30-year-old, brown, Hispanic Muslim male from Guatemala, who preferably, won’t get pregnant.  That’s right.  There are no EEOC rules for this gig.  In fact, you don’t even have to be a lawyer.  You must, however, make it through the gauntlet of a Senate confirmation.  That’s where Biden’s Supreme Court nomination puts him between a rock and a hard place.  So many coalitions; too few options.  Washington Post’s already messaging that Union leaders aren’t happy with door number 1: Judge J. Michelle Childs.
