Why did Reagan pick a woman for SCOTUS?

Pandering for votes.
The nominee has to be black, female AND qualified.
Thereās only a handful with the necessary qualifications.
Layman need not apply.

Why did Bush Sr. pick Clarence Thomas?
Pandering for votes.
And it wasnāt true either with trumps only picking white people. Lol.

Of course every president views ther picks through the lens of politics. Reagan knew it would play well with the woman voter. But thats a pretty cold calculation that he only did it for that reason. But ok.
What other reason was there? Was she the best judge available or the best female judge avalble?
I guess youāre right- Reagan shouldnt have picked a woman for SCOTUS. Interesting where youre taking this.
Black nation is 10% of the population. 10% of 9 is 1. Is there a member of the black nation on the SCOTUS? Yes.
So how does this pick have to be black to bring anything into line with āAmericaā?
Cool.
Iām not saying that, Iām saying they should be picking the best possible judges, not men or women, black or white.
Well now youāre just being silly. But if you want to go there- white men make up 31 % of our country but 55 % of the Supreme Court. Not really representational of the US demographic.

By your logic you are saying that OāConnor and Thomas should not have been picked.
He wants them to be be qualified, black, woman.
98% have been white men. Maybe he is trying to correct the over representation by white males?
How is my question silly?
You arenāt listening. I am saying it doesnāt have to be a woman or a black person.
No, he doesnāt. He said the pick will be female and black.
