Zeus posted... which certainly isn't the case when you're picking somebody with relatively little experience because they check off certain boxes (be it intangibles like beliefs or something like demographics) over a far more experienced candidate Who said there are no female black judges with experience? Or that all the candidates who aren't black women are more experienced? That appears to have been something you made up yourself. Zeus posted... While there's always going to be gray room when it comes to the "best" candidate (and that can vary depending on expectations), there's obviously going to be some huge variation in terms of quality. No one is saying that you should be picking a low-quality candidate; in fact, my post explicitly rules that out. I've said that if you can't find a high quality candidate who is also a black woman, it's because you're not looking very hard. The fact that you don't think there are any female black judges that are qualified says a great deal about you, especially given that several names have already been floated as good candidates. Zeus posted... Women make up about 50% of the general population, but only 33% of judges. Meanwhile blacks account for 12-13% of the general population, they only make up THREE-PERCENT of judges. Congratulations on identifying a big part of the problem this pick is aiming to rectify. You're so close to catching up to the rest of us now. Zeus posted... You're literally eliminating NINETY-NINE-PERCENT of all judges on the basis of those two criteria 99% of judges aren't qualified to be SCOTUS judges anyways, so this is just hysteria on your part. Zeus posted... Now I want you to sit there, think about what you just fucking tried to claim, and justify within your own mind why you're not completely wrong on every conceivable level before trying to convince me of that. Based on previous experience, the fact that you're in vehement disagreement is actually one of the most reliable indicators I can think of that my post is correct. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
