Ryan Bounds, a Trump nominee for the 9th Circuit, just had his nomination withdrawn because Republican Senators Tim Scott and Marco Rubio refused to vote for him over previous "racially-charged academic writings."

Those writings are way tamer than anything that has ever appeared on this site.

From a May WaPo article:

https://wapo.st/2uIvpfM

"In one of his Stanford articles, Bounds described a phenomenon he called “race-think,” in which “multiculturalistas” and ethnic minorities bonded together to form groups of “racial purity” that he claimed ended up creating more division."

“During my years in our Multicultural Garden of Eden,” he wrote, “I have often marveled at the odd strategies that some of the more strident racial factions of the student body employ in their attempts to ‘heighten consciousness,’ ‘build tolerance,’ ‘promote diversity’ and otherwise convince us to partake of that fruit which promises to open our eyes to a PC version of the knowledge of good and evil. I am mystified because these tactics seem always to contribute more to restricting consciousness, aggravating intolerance and pigeonholing cultural identities than many a Nazi bookburning.”

In another article, he urged the university not to lower the burden of proof in finding accused rapists in violation of university policy, writing that “there is nothing really inherently wrong with the University failing to punish an alleged rapist — regardless of his guilt — in the absence of adequate certainty,” and adding, “expelling students is probably not going to contribute a great deal toward a rape victim’s recovery.”

Bounds told senators Wednesday his point was that the only way to stop rapists was to convict them in criminal court and put them behind bars, something the university couldn’t do.

In a third article he mocked the importance of “Sensitivity” and the university’s decision to make all students undergo mandatory sensitivity training after an LGBT statue was vandalized. He described sensitivity as a “pestilence” that “stalks us.”

“These sweet victories of Sensitivity reveal one thing: if we fancy ourselves oppressed (regardless of how oppressed, ignored, or downtrodden we objectively are) we will see the world, however unrealistically, as overflowing with instances that support our perception.”

Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.), citing the above passage in part, asked Bounds to clarify whether he believes that people in the LGBT community and people of color experience real discrimination today. Bounds said he “definitely” did.

“I’ve always fought as much as I could, whenever I’ve seen it, against people’s impulses to engage in that sort of behavior,” he said. “These articles are perhaps clumsy efforts to fight against it.”

black Tim Scott (R-SC) and foamboi Marco Rubio (R-FL) find these statements unfitting for the federal bench

so rather than face the ignominy of losing a vote 51-48 on a nominee of his own party, McConnell just pulled the nom

Rethinking your argument that cucks are better than libs?

Really feel like I’d rather have a lib than a guy like Rubio. I don’t understand what benefit we get out of him.
