"Ok so you are saying that discrimination is ok if it is "just political". The unprecedented unconstitutional filibustering of circuit court appointees just happens to be against the women and minorities."

I'm saying that's NOT what's going on.

4 Women approved / 3 Waiting /
2 Minority sounding surnames approved / 3 waiting (1 withdrew after being stonewalled for 2 years)
30 approved judges / 12 waiting (add Gonzalez back making 13)

3/13 = 1/4.33 > 4/30 = 1/7.5
4/13 = 1:3.25 > 2/15 = 1:15

Are you suggesting that the numbers lie?

Democrats are guilty of defacto discrimination. If it were anywhere but the Senate (who conveniently made themselves exempt from discrimination charges) they would be investigated and ruled out of order by the EEOC. History will look back on current Senate Democrats with shame.

you would have to claim 'racial discrimination' for any/all opposition to minority appointees that Clinton put up, also.

I do not recall the charge leveled at the time. Your agrument appears to be specious.
