Point of diversity not being discussed: Justice Brown Jackson is the first on the supreme court with any experience as a public defender. She was raked over the coals for it in her confirmation hearings, but the bottom line is that everybody deserves due process, even when we think they're guilty. Long live the 6th amendment.

If they&#x27;re going for diversity, I don&#x27;t understand why they didn&#x27;t choose an Asian American, considering we currently have NONE in the supreme court?<p>As an Asian, I just can&#x27;t get behind any of these &quot;diversity&quot; pushes when they unilaterally mean &quot;we don&#x27;t like having Asians around.&quot;

Biden said numerous times that his Supreme Court pick would be a black woman. Sex and race quotas for jobs are a bad thing and contradict the ideal of equal opportunity.

The SCOTUS was already 11% black, which is about equal to the black population of the US. Blacks will now be over represented.

Human beings are not flowers to be sorted into a bouquet by color. It is racist to look at a persons skin color first, to decide if you will do business with them, or give them power. Lady Justice herself is depicted as blind since 1543.
