      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.

          Pseudo-Intellectuals trying to explain how it’s justified because the black history and experience is SOOOOOO different than anywhere else or any other people in history.

                    That name doesn't hurt her chances.

                      A graduate ofHarvard and Harvard Law? I wonder if she will recuse herself from the case?

                        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?

                            RIGHT????
