    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.

      I try not to.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                  That name doesn't hurt her chances.

                      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????
