That gives the President a 6-3 court, because the next pick is going to be a woman. Barrett being #1, probably. Although, I’d love to see him put Caorl Swain on that list. Black, female...

Why don’t we leave the identity politics to the left?
The only qualification someone should need for the Supreme Court is what’s between their ears, not between their legs (or the color of their skin).
You are right. That is should be about what’s between their ears and interpreting laws, based on the Constitution. However, the Left has chosen that that isn’t a qualification and hasn’t been for quite some time.
Allow me to pose a question. If the President nominated Prof Turley to SCOTUS, do you think the Left would support him?
He has stated that he’s a, liberal. However, from what I’ve seen of him and his articles, he’s a pretty strict Constitutionalist. He seems to care more about the law, above all. So, he’s not Ginsburg. Actually a very far cry from it. Probably wouldn’t fit in w/ the radicals on the 9th Circuit either. I would have no problem with him wearing one of those robes, actually.
But, it seems to me that, even though you don’t want to/we shouldn’t, label any of them, the “Conservative” justices seem to be the most fair, IMHO.
