announcing that he would nominate a Black Woman to the bench...they do not appreciate the societal value of having a Supreme Court that 'looks like the country'...they won't even stop to evaluate Judge Jackson's exceptional qualifications....so, in order to create a comparable level of "frustration" in them, as other groups in this country have felt for many, many years. I proposed a hypothetical situation whereby they would see none of their own race or gender on the SCOTUS...asking how they would feel about it...hoping that they would somehow appreciate the joy that Judge Jackson's nomination has created (see Sen. Corey Booker's "Questioning" video)...I didn't expect many to "get it", but a couple I would have expected, did...
btw, It's very good to see your response to even such a hypothetical situation...outstanding qualifications are preeminent in your thinking...I'd only add that IMO there is a human/societal aspect that is almost as important...always...which means that I would be among the first in line to question the wisdom of a SCOTUS with only black, female jurists.
