Bell curves are interesting if looking at groups, but they’re not relevant in Supreme Court Appointments.
For example, Clarence Thomas is a lot smarter than 90% + of whites, Asians, etc etc etc racial group members... maybe more. So a racial curve doesn’t matter. It’s the same with Ketanji Brown Jackson - SHE’S an affirmative action pick based on her radical marxist beliefs.
There are plenty of men and women of all races intellectually, morally and ethically qualified to be on the Supreme Court. Jackson just isn’t one of them.
True, there are smart people of all races, but some races have a much higher percentage than others. That difference in distribution has a huge impact on society as a whole.
When it comes to impacts on society it is the average of the group that matters not the rare individual exceptions.
My comment was more in regard to that, than any particular individual.
