Quotas headed for Supreme Court

Just a couple of days ago, it sounded like a great joke when Charles Martel imagined the Senate confirmation hearings for the first black lesbian Supreme Court justice.  The joke is now on us, as the gay lobby (responding appropriately to the administration’s obsession with quotas and identity politics) is pushing for the first lesbian Supreme Court justice.

Here’s my view:  You look for the most intelligent jurist around, one who doesn’t weasel facts and law to achieve a specific political agenda.  You look for someone who has a deep and abiding respect for America and the American constitution.  And you look for someone who is universally respected by fellow judges and lawyers alike.  Race, color, creed, sexual orientation, gender, etc., should be irrelevant.  Chief Justice Roberts fit that bill perfectly.

It’s a topsy-turvey, racist, sexist world if people have to pass a color, gender or sexuality bar as a prerequisite for consideration at the US Supreme Court.
