If, in fact, a black woman is indeed the most qualified person to sit on the court, then it would not be necessary to restrict the selection to black women, because she would rise to the top of any list in any case. OTOH restriction of the search to black women only amounts to expression of a concern that such people might very well not remain on top of such a list when others are also placed into consideration.
Will people who “identify” as a black woman be considered?
The “Biden” Court will be 5 “conservative”, 3 “liberal” and one diversity hire.
I would regard the Wise Latina as being another diversity hire.
Why hasn’t Georgetown University handed itself over to BLM or any other race based entity and let them have everything since it was built by slave labor?
Seems they are trying real hard to forget that.

Indeed she was/is, but not ADVERTISED as such.
“appalling” cancer runs deep. After the wet sock puppets introduction about an experienced, respected, admired person will be selected he throws in “and this person will be a women and black” which regardless of the prior adorations it doesn’t matter its a women and a black women.
Judge not a person by the color of their skin but by the strength of their character. Is not that what MLK said? Is that what Joe Biden is doing?
In 1998, Treanor went on leave from the university to serve as deputy assistant attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, before he returned to assume his current position in 2002.
HARVARD, YALE, JESUIT GEORGETOWN, reported to be a constitutional scholar. Just another swamp creature.
Total lunacy, what is going on. Yet, the dopey parents keep sending their kiddies to those schools!
Who is currently the most qualified person to sit on the court? And why?
Imagine getting a job just based on your race/gender and nothing else. How would you feel about yourself? How do you handle how others will perceive you as unworthy of the job, having not truly earned it? To me, this only increases racism and division.
That is a matter of opinion, and depends on how one values various qualifications.
Speaking for myself, the various intersectional boxes that could be checked have essentially zero value for me: race, gender or gender identity, disabled status, SES background, sexual preference, etc, because those pertain to who the person is, rather than how they will do their job. And selecting people based on who they are basically creates “a nation of men” (with apologies to feminists) rather than “a nation of laws”, and I think the merits of the latter over the former have already been hashed out, at some considerable expense, in the past.
If the government was a private employer and Biden was the CEO, lawsuits would fly the moment after swearing in. Biden would be fired, and it would be a nice payday for those wronged.
Laws don’t apply to those in the government, of course.
“Judge not a person by the color of their skin but by the strength of their character. Is not that what MLK said? Is that what Joe Biden is doing?”
All people seem to know about him now was that he was black and was assassinated by a white racist.
All of the names being bandied about seem to have extensive qualifications. If race or gender is the tipping point that decides they're to be a Supreme Court Justice does that mean the quality of the court is diminished? If so, how? The basic qualifications are still there. Ronald Reagan announced during his first campaign that if elected one of his first appointments to the court would be a woman, and he followed through with Sandra Day O'Conner. Amy Coney Barrett is on the court now because she's a woman. Does that mean that either of them are somehow less qualified than others for the job? I just don't think so.
This culture of equity and inclusion crap is necessarily based upon a sense of white superiority. The givers here are motivated by innate racism.
Pedo Joe blurted that out to make us think he was NOT racist and in stating that, he proved he is.
That could have been who he was going to honor without making a big announcement about it.
As I said, he speaks what he does not believe, therefore a racist and a hypocrite. The man is totally hateful.
