She's black, a woman, and would be the first black woman. That's all the experience she needs. Reading through that makes it sound like an incredible political move. She's not left-leaning enough for the GOP to attack her on that so attacking her just makes them look racist and sexist.

They can attack her on the fact that she has no experience. SC justices should be scholars, not someone who fits some stupid ass racial quota.

There have been many justices with no judicial experience.

Even more disturbing. It looks like nominating justices with no judicial experience is a common practice amongst progressives of the 20th century, even ones I admire, like Roosevelt.

It was a common practice among all presidents of the 20th century.

John Jay had a lot of important experience. I would honestly prefer someone like Ted Cruz on the SCOTUS than someone who has gone from Preftige Lol School --> Big Law Firm --> USDOJ --> U.S. Dist. Court --> Circuit Court.

No constitutional requirement to even be an attorney.

"I think the administration would relish the prospect of Republicans either refusing to give Lynch a vote or seeming to treat her unfairly in the confirmation process," Goldstein wrote. "Either eventuality would motivate both black and women voters."

Do they assume all women are so dumb that they won't vote Republican because of a delayed SC nomination? Anyone who's voting based on their candidate's gender has already made up their decision.

And this gets to the heart of what many conservative pundits are saying.

Why bend over backwards for people who will never respect or vote for you?

It's hilarious that sexism never came up during the Harriet Miers nomination process.
