A reader was quick to fire an email this morning asking for clarity on the Ketanji Brown Jackson piece. What's your point in that last paragraph? The point is that Jackson could have been remembered as the first public defender to sit on SCOTUS, and Biden as the first president to appoint one. Instead, she will be remembered not for bringing actual, meaningful diversity to the Court, but for meeting a racial quota test whose purpose was to help her appointer score political points.
