The Supreme Court is (supposed to be) non-political, but if this thread is off base, feel free to delete it.

From what I've read, these are the potential nominees:
  • Ketanji Brown Jackson
  • Leondra Kruger
  • J. Michelle Childs
  • Wilhelmina Wright
  • Eunice Lee
  • Candace Jackson-Akiwumi
  • Sherrilyn Ifill
I haven't done any research yet, but Leondra Kruger is the hottest. What, that's not a legitimate criteria? :ROFLMAO:

Who is your pick?
 

Sandra Day O'Connor was an Arizona Appeals Court Judge, not on the federal bench, when she was confirmed as an Associate Justice. Time such another state judge is nominated. William Howard Taft was nominated and confirmed as Chief Justice by Harding, and he was simply a Law Professor at Yale.
 
I'm not qualified to answer, but I was shocked and disappointed at Biden's promise to nominate a Black woman to the position.

I would prefer that he nominate the most qualified candidate.

If that candidate happens to be a Black woman, I'm fine with that.
 

I lost my shit at that comment on the news.... this is absolute bias on his part... and the second time he has done it...

But given the short list
J. Michelle Childs

Was Reagan being politically correct when he campaigned on appointing a woman to join the Supremes and kept his promise with Sandra Day O'Conner?

I'm surprised there should be any doubts at all about a qualified black woman. Not "is there?" but "why wouldn't there be" a qualified black woman.
 
Limiting the nomination to the very small subset of qualified black women is ridiculous. Of course black women should be considered. But considering only black women is the worst kind of pandering.

But there is one way to solve this problem. POTUS should nominate a conservative black woman. That would tie everyone in knots, because black liberals do not consider black conservatives to be sufficiently black. I would enjoy seeing those hearings.

Was Reagan pandering? POTUS should nominate...........? Do we have the same POTUS? Why on earth would Biden do that? Unless he was pandering to YOU, right?

Yes, Reagan was pandering. And yes, I would like to be pandered to. Why not me?

Surely you don't disagree with my point that liberals in general, and black liberals in particular, hate/disregard/ignore/revile black conservatives.
