If it's not a woman there will be a price to pay because of the election coming up. If the lawyer party succeeds in destroying the reputation of Trump's first nominee, it will be after the election and Trump will be free politically to nominate anyone.
I understand. I despise politics, but I realize that I am somewhat naive and perhaps too idealistic.
I just don’t like the Court being the plaything of politics, and I don’t believe that the Law has a ‘gender’. Every American Human should be treated equally under the law; so I have no problem with reforms that address actual inequalities. But I don’t like Law held hostage to temporal gender and identity politics.
