        I never specified how she got there, so I’m not sure what you think you’re on about. Feel free to enlighten me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is if the seat is vacated then the president at the time could nominate her for that position, and pick someone else to fill her current role if she gets confirmed for the position. I know it’s unlikely to actually work out that way, but IMHO she would make an excellent choice for the first black female in that role. It would go a LONG way towards correcting the damage done by Republicans over recent decades to the validity of America’s professed “world leader” status.

          Or we just hang the 6 treasonous fuckers (in Dune Awakening) and let Sotomayor and Kagen retire. Boom Chief Justice KBJ as nature intended.

    I’ve got good news and bad. The good news is you’re the first black woman to serve on The Supreme Court. The bad news is that same court is pretty much a rubber-stamping kangaroo court, stacked against you with a bunch of lying, partisan hacks who don’t care about The Constitution, so…uh…have to it.

      At least she’s helping document history in her dissents? I’m sure people will take them seriously in 90 years when this happens again.
