bush drops "diversity" hint on next nominee



read here

i suppose this means either someone without a penis, someone darker than opie, or both.

alberto gonzales?
janice rogers brown?
priscilla owen?

and maybe a dark horse: viet dinh?

sorry to be a cynic, but how will bush nominating a non white male change anything about the supreme court at all? this isn't a benetton modeling shoot. these people don't just smile for the camera in black robes - they actually make laws that affect everyone. a bush nominee is a bush nomineee. i'd rather have the waspiest male on the court if he could provide an alternative to justice scalia's pseudo papal decrees. appointing a minority justice with a poor civil rights record isn't going to make traditionally democrat-voting minorities suddenly have a change of heart. people aren't stupid.

blah.
