Adoption of black kids is fine, but in my view her doing so appears to be an egregious example of virtue signaling which is behavior that doesn’t inspire much confidence in her “conservative” credentials.

I agree. I hope Trump does not pick her.

Or maybe it's an example of her being a loving person. (I can't believe you said what you did.)

I highly doubt it. My son adopted four kids, and the fact that they were black had nothing to do with anything. They couldn’t have kids of their own and really wanted to start a family.

You sign up with agencies and when an opportunity strikes, you meet with the biological mother or couple, and if you feel good about the whole thing - you fall in love with the baby - even before it is born.

I guarantee their race was irrelevant - it just happened the opportunities that presented themselves were African American.

Of course, the issue of their race presents certain challenges - my son had to learn how to cut their hair - important stuff like that!

But no, there is no “virtue signaling”.

I’m just being totally cynical here, but I have absolutely zero confidence in the conservative credentials of anyone nominated for a U.S. Supreme Court seat. History has told us this repeatedly — hasn’t it?

She's not a politician.
