The diversity pick for SCOTUS

If confirmed, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be the first …. What?

Black woman? I really don’t care that much. It’s not the sort of diversity that matters to me.

But there is this. She will be the only justice on the court who has experience as a public defender, and that’s a good thing. It will balance out the justices who were prosecutors.

I have no doubt that I would disagree with Judge Jackson on a lot of issues, but this is the kind of diversity I like to see on the court. Different opinions about things that matter. Different legal backgrounds.

Unfortunately, she’s yet another Harvard grad, so there’s not much diversity there.
