Yes, this minority, female, former state representative, was appointed judge by “The Bent One.” She, due to seniority, is now Chief Judge in the Western District. As others observed she was educated in Kenya and Ghana. She got her law degree at Howard University. One of my lawyer buddies tells me that Howard holds the distinction of having a complete law class fail the bar exam in Maryland.

Holy cow. A Kenya connection and her whole class failed the bar. Now that’s got to be a resume enhancer for the dems! No doubt she’s headed to the SCOTUS. (eyeroll + sigh)

Howard is a black university.
Here’s how it works. White applicant to Harvard (not Howard) has 4.0 GPA and aces LSAT. Black applicant has 3.2 and scores much lower on LSAT. Both considered equal for application purposes plus black applicant will get scholarship if admitted.
As you drop down the tiers of law school from there, you’re reaching the dregs of the barrel by the time you hit a traditional black university for law school admission purposes. Credentials typically involve passing the mirror test (breathing) and a four year college degree in any major (such as black studies or gender studies) without minimum GPA requirement, etc.
The reverse racism hurts all involved except the liberals who created the system.
At every level, blacks are assumed to be unqualified because the majority who were accepted lack the grades and test scores of their white and asian counterparts. Even if a black candidate aced the LSAT and had a 4.0 GPA, there would be the inherent taint of the other 99% who got in with a bump from “affirmative” action.
And those who truly lack the competitive aptitude for the level they were admitted are passed through in the name of racial equality. Think soft bigotry of low expectations.
