And, if you watched the mini-series, you'd know he's unavailable.

I'm only on season 7. Don't tell me.

[George K]

It's a trap!

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.

Ketanji Brown Jackson.

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.

[Mik]

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