The notion that she’s been vetted because she already serves as a federal judge is rather silly. That there needs to be a Native American seat on the Supreme Court is really silly. (Seriously? By the time you give a black seat, a Cuban seat, a Mexican-American seat, a Jewish seat, a Moslem seat (You KNOW that’d be coming), a Pacific-American seat, a Native-American seat, a LGBTQ seat (apart from the wise Latina... we can’t have multiple check-boxes filled by one person! That’s cheating!), and an Asian-American seat, there’ll be no seat for white gentiles!) I really don’t think the public is going to buy that there needs to be an American-Indian seat.
The only thing interesting about this proposal is precisely why Obama will never fulfill it: she may not be a radical leftist. And if he does appoint her, we know he knows something we don’t.
Agreed.
