Racially exclusionary hiring practices violate the laws of America. Yet, exclusionary hiring practices are consistent with the way President Trump has operated his business empire. An Associate Press report in June 2016 stated, "There are few, if any, black executives in the upper ranks of the Trump Organization."
The Supreme Court justice that Gorsuch lauds and is slotted to replace, Antonin Scalia, proudly followed the exclusionary practice of hiring no black law clerks. One of the two U.S. Supreme Court Justices that Gorsuch clerked for following his federal appeals court clerkship also had a record of zero black clerks.
Perhaps the U.S. Senate's failure, so far, to question Gorsuch's hiring practices relates to the Senate's own paucity of top black staff members -- less than one percent among 300+ top staffers according to one study.
