re: #444 amir

Since a nominee for the supreme court has acknowledged that background and gender may affect her decision

Um… nice try. But she didn’t just “acknowledge” that they “may affect” her decisions; she said they would make them “better” than those of someone of a different ethnicity and gender.

I repeat: “Better”. Her word, not mine.
