I have been thinking about the nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson by the president and I kind of feel sorry for her in a way.
He has done her a disservice as well as the American people.
The reason I say this is because it will always be known throughout history that she was picked from a very select group of people.
Not necessarily that she was the best candidate, although she may very well be, but only that she was the best candidate out of a very select group. The president ignored any other would-be candidates. He disallowed any thought what so ever to the nomination of anyone other than this group.
The analogy here is just like when a baseball team wins the World Series in a shortened season because of a baseball strike. The team will always have an asterisk next to their name indicating there was something unusual in the win and unfortunately so will Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
