Its important to have diversity at the top as much as it is at the bottom of the economic stratum. What this Senate vote does is provide a new perspective at the very top. While she may be the first Black supreme court judge she also provides a sense of additional trust in the justice system (Anyone can make it to any position within this country. That is motivating for many young people! Maybe now we can also think about how diverse is the educational background of future judges. Coming form elite schools gives you a certain perspective through educational indoctrination. We may benefit from those who have other forms of education and ways of looking at issues.). Her specific race is less important than nudging the Supreme Court closer to being more reflective of society. She has a duty beyond any current racial and religious debates to help ensure that there a widening of perspective that contributes to our nation. Her job will be to be fair and do that based on facts in a universal manner. Her race is part of who she is and/but when she votes/decides issues it will need to be in the best interest of all of society. Her perspective will be valuable contribution I think to seeing alternative perspectives and providing a new perspective. (I'm a light right conservative that believes we need a fully integrated society to create the most opportunities for success through human capital development. She will also need to look beyond politics to think long term. Republican and Democrat are parties that influence a great many things but at the end of the day it is our democratic institutions that must stand strong no matter what political powers there are swirling on Capitol Hill) Congrats to her and lets wait to see what happens........
