I wish it had worked as well with Clarence Thomas. He was a "quota" replacement of a well respected progressive black judge. Nominating an unqualified conservative black lawyer demeans the nomination process to the supreme court. Nominating Miers to replace O'Connor was another "quota" choice, and certainly not the best to be found as Bush claims.
There must be many other more qualified individuals for the Supreme Court than those two. Political "quota" choices should be an affront to all of us.
