Those to whom it will not matter, probably won't bother to type an entry into this thread, hmmm?
Ron, of course Obama could have found a qualified white male. He could probably have found a qualified black lesbian, female Asian, etc. etc.
The point is that he is suggesting a judge who is apparently ("apparently" because I'm not an expert) not just qualified, but well qualified for the job.
If that is the case, the fact that she is not another white male is a plus for me, yes. I don't recall there being a shortage of white males on the Supreme Court bench at present, so I really don't understand your comment. Issodhos suggested two lists that could have been used. But for well over 200 years, judges have been drawn from a list that was absolutely male and white.
A list is a list, isn't it?
