Did anyone say it was dumb to select a black women? Nope, nobody did. What's dumb is automatically ruling out over 90% of potential candidates on basis of race

  You're framing it in the negative way, that he is ruling out candidates. Instead, he and all the rest are viewing it positively: ruling in the 7% of the 300+ million are black women, That's 21 million never considered before, always ruled out by racists and sexists in history. What's the problem with giving representation to a minority? How is it different from literally every pick, which is based on politics? Politics tends to dictate everything in politics, surprise surprise. As much as purists and idealogues like yourself want quality only, you'll never define a pure and quality pick in the USA when there are 2 teams with vastly different views of quality. I guarantee you could never name a single judge who both sides would choose. Obama tried, his name was Merrick Garland, and that pick was stolen by McConnell, and Trump used it to foist a hardcore conservative on us instead of Obama's centrist moderate pick. You're complaining about a black woman being chosen when the last democratic pick was literally stolen by the party which represents the minority in electoral and popular terms.
