While everyone was going up about the Supreme Court’s block on President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief plan, the court passed another decision right under our noses. According to NBC News, the court refused to hear the appeal of a Black death row inmate who alleged his jury was picked based on race.

Tony Clark was convicted on murder charges and sentenced to death in the killing of a 13-year-old boy during the robbery of a convenience store back in 2014. His appeal claimed that during the jury selection for his trial, prosecutors unlawfully sought to strike Black jurors based solely on race. That would be in direct violation of the Court’s 1986 ruling that potential jurors can’t be excluded based on race. But alas, Clark’s trial was composed of 11 white people and one Black person.

    Yeah, like how that one left-wing judge whined like a baby about drinking beer.

    Wait, that wasn’t one of the left-wing judges.

    Oh, I know. It was the two who whined like babies about getting gifts from people who had cases in front of the court.

    No… those weren’t the left-wing judges either.

    Not sure which judges you’re talking about, I guess.
