Jim Geraghty, a thoughtful conservative who writes for National Review Online, is not particularly fond of pro-life former President Donald Trump. But he is also a sharp critic of pro-abortion President Joe Biden who increasing employs—to be polite—bizarre attacks on Trump.

In a post yesterday under the headline “Biden: Do You Think Trump Will Appoint Any Supreme Court Justice Who Has a Brain,?” Geraghty lays into Biden’s  speech delivered to the NAACP last Saturday.

Amidst a litany of insults, Biden said the following:

Let me ask you: If he’s reelected, who do you think he’ll put on the Supreme Court?  You think he’ll put anybody who has a brain?

Yowzah! Geraghty responses

Apparently, President Biden believes that Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett do not have brains. Now, you don’t have to agree with all of those justices’ decisions to recognize that in their careers, these elite-college-educated  — back when that meant something! — justices proved themselves as accomplished and bright lawyers, prosecutors, law professors and lower-court judges.

So of course Biden’s comment is inaccurate, snide, obnoxious, and beneath the office of the president.

Geraghty takes the reader back to Biden’s actually quite eloquent inaugural speech which was driven by a call for “unity.”

Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:

Bringing America together.

Uniting our people.

And uniting our nation.

I ask every American to join me in this cause.

Uniting to fight the common foes we face:

Anger, resentment, hatred.

Extremism, lawlessness, violence.

Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.

With unity we can do great things. Important things.

Geraghty leaves us with this thought: “Does running around declaring that Supreme Court justices don’t have a brain strike you as a good way to ‘unite our nation’”?
