You are going to make the nomination in two to three weeks. Why say now that the nominee will be a black woman, no matter what?
You are going to saddle this nominee with the notion that she only got it because she was black for the rest of her life. For absolutely no purpose. We are talking about a few short weeks. What purpose is served by this?
If it is your intention to nominate a black woman, why not produce a short list not limited to that extremely limited designation (6% of population... Maybe 1% of judges)? Then, you could say that this woman was the best overall candidate.
