Senate Dems Announce Racial Litmus Test for Biden Nominees

WFB: Democratic senators Tammy Duckworth (Ill.) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) announced a racial litmus test on Biden administration nominees, pledging to reject all “non-diversity” picks until the president promises to appoint Asian Americans to “key executive branch positions.”

Duckworth relayed the decision to reporters on Tuesday afternoon. She called the lack of Asian-American representation in President Biden’s cabinet “unacceptable,” vowing to oppose all White House nominees “until they figure this out.”

She also confirmed that she will now opposed top Pentagon pick Colin Kahl, whose nomination has already been delayed by Republicans. She noted, however, that her moratorium would not apply to “diversity” nominees supported by congressional minority caucuses or to LGBTQ nominees. more

  2. Instead of a racial litmus test, how about a Constitutional test. You have to have general knowledge of the Constitution and Bill of Rights with particular depth of knowledge about how the Constitution applies to your particular Cabinet field.

    Barring that, a general IQ test would be helpful.
