That is why Thomas was chosen. Can anyone say at the time he was chosen, he was chosen because he was THE best choice? He was chosen because he is black.

Thomas didn't even want to to a Federal judge in the first place. Bush fell back-assward in that pick because his virtue signaling pool for a black candidate was extremely thin. Thomas just happened to be a texualist with a heavy dose of judicial restraint.

Pres. Trump has a wide pool of vaginas (That is what he is saying) to choose from and can mess up real bad from his own “strategy” of virtue signaling.

I would rather Trump avoid the genitalia issue and ask candidates about the original purpose of the 14th amendment, is stare decisis part of Article III, can case law be overturned based on ignoring the intent of the law, is judicial restraint more important than judicial supremacy, and finally, what do you think of Robert Yates (Brutus) opinion of Article III and Alexander Hamilton actauly agreeing with his points (But had faith judges would show judicial restraint).
