Racial Double Standards

I’d be more sympathetic to the argument that a latina or any member of a minority race will bring a new and better approach to the law if the people making that argument weren’t also the same people that also think a sitting member of the Supreme Court is not “black enough” for the same to be said of him.

That’s what hypocrisy smells like.

Agreed. I thought of that as well. Clarence Thomas is a “race traitor” because he doesn’t vote a certain way? It’s ridiculous.

I don’t think a Latina or any member of a minority race will bring a “new” or “better” approach to the law.

I think a wide range of life experiences is important to the Supreme Court.
