I know someone who would have been a good person to have on the bench-- a Dem with support of the GOP Senators of South Dakota--- but their nomination was mysteriously bumped.
This may be why--- and what a revealing article it is:
Biden's corrupt Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced he was going to target parents around the country who oppose the critical race theory (CRT) and were speaking up about it at local school board meetings. CRT promotes anti-white racism.
