[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5154587, member: 24302"] You don't get it. It's perfectly fine to have a black female appointed. What's wrong is excluding everyone else. Could be the very best legal mind in the country who's willing to accept the position is a white male. Or a black male. Or an Asian woman. To say that it must be a black woman instead of the very best legal scholar available no matter who they are is wrong. But it seems you think that'll win you votes in elections. Just watched a Hispanic female justice make a fool of herself in recent deliberations saying things that were flat out untrue. I don't want people on the highest court of the land who are that uninformed. I want a proven body of work. It's obviously going to be a liberal so get one who can make rational decisions. I disagreed with Ruth Bader Ginsberg about plenty but she was a thoughtful person with a sharp legal mind. Not a token based on identity politics. [/QUOTE]
