    I saw that today. Did not read it (Newsmax, y’know), but how exactly would that work? I don’t want to have to wade thru all the ED potion ads.

          quota-based diversity

          Yes, another black justice will make 22% of the court black

          Only 12% of the country is black, 22% appears to be too many justices of color

          But wait, you are doing the wrong math. There have 114 Supremes, and only 2 black. There is a long way to go.

                            Wiki lists all the mock trials she participated in with the Shakespeare company and none of what she has heard in her 7 months at the appellate level.

                            I'm not saying she isn't qualified, but I haven't found much yet to say she is. To be continued.

                              She's been a stalwart Trump foe. That much I can find.

                                Well, there's a qualification, to be sure.

                                It'll be interesting, during confirmation hearings, to see if that comes up. SCOTUS is supposed to be above politics, right?
