    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.

                      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????
