A black woman would be awesome. It would be great to watch the libs stumble all over themselves trying to asassinate her character.

you would sky scream when Amy Coney Barrett and her "dogma' is appointed.
I would have some concerns that she would be as much an activist from the Right as RBG was from the Left. I could certainly be convinced otherwise, but that is my initial reaction.

I don't care what the next Justice's gender is. I just want another originalist who does not believe that the Court has free rein to adapt the Constitution to their own personal views or to continuously evolve the Constitution's meaning.

You are contradicting yourself. You are saying the her spot should be reserved for a given demographic group that is all but women. If you want to be consistent, you'd say he'd pick the best person for that spot, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, etc.

You said the person should NOT be female.
Logic is not your thing.

Originalism is not as subjective as “living document,” but is IS highly subjective.

I could see Thomas retire this summer.

I did not say “should not.” I said “hope not.”

Considering it entails federalism and limited federal govt and reflects how paranoid the Framers truly were considering they just separated from a totalitarian theocratic monarchy, I'm inclined to agree with this assessment

Ha. OK

In a perfect world, you simply pick the best candidate. Period.
In today's clown world, the genitals and skin-melanin-content matter just as much as the experience and demonstrated competence.
By the way, you can thank the left and the Democrat party entirely for that little nugget of ridiculous truth.
Many would argue that part of the equation for "best candidate" is helping the Supreme Court be representative of the country as a whole.

What's up with Ginsburg? Is she taking another leave of absence? The rest of the justices are insane if they allow this shart again. Tell her to get her arse into work or resign.

To me, it's insane that all the Justices are either Jewish or Catholic. Did that just happen randomly seems very strange to me that not one Justice out of a total of 9 is Protestant.
Interesting. I did not know this.

Diversity of thought can spring from a diversity of culture, gender, background, etc.
Y'all act like diversity is a negative, when the greatest of this country was sprung by a diversity of thought/culture/contributions from people of all walks of life.
Different people walk through life and see life through different lenses. there is such a huge value on that, especially since we have such a diverse country. ITs imperative that we have an inclusive SC that represents our nations wide backgrounds.
We shouldn't have an all latina, all black, all asian, all white male SC.
In an ideal world, we would have AT minimum, for starters, 5 Conservative and 5 Liberal Judges from all backgrounds.

I guess I understand what you mean. You "hope" it's not a woman, even if that person is the best fit, because of the appearance of continuing a path of replacing justices with a person of a similar demographic. I can see where you are coming from, but I really don't care what the demographics are of the new justice, as long as it is a good fit.

That’s a pretty poor argument. A persons gender, skin color, etc have absolutely zero bearing on their ability to apply facts to the law.
