Like Amy Boner Carrot and Clarence Thomas and Kegstand are qualified. I’m not buying this “poll” either that says 70% of Americans want Biden to nominate a white male. My guess is 70% of Americans could not name a single justice, and further have no idea what SCROTUS actually does.

You wrote: "Marshall described the document “defective from the start,” referring to the authors who crafted it. He explained that it took “several amendments, a civil war, and momentous social transformation” before “We the People” expanded beyond white men to include all Americans." This gives me chills: without having ever read anything Marshall wrote, I have discovered that he and I have written similar sentiments 45 years apart! I now feel smart! Thank you for another great article Steven.
