Is it okay to nominate someone to the Supreme Court based on race, gender, and lack of experience?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would be in favor of nominating a minority or woman to the bench. Coming from a different upbringing and belonging to different communities, they will often have different viewpoints that are important for behind the scenes SCOTUS debate.
Also, I don't think "lack of experience" is one of the things that the administration is looking for. It would be tough to argue that Chief Justice Roberts had a lack of experience, even though he was only 50 years old and had only served as a judge for four years. He just had different experience than other Justices had. That is exactly what Obama said he is looking for. Not somebody inexperienced, but somebody that has experience outside the bubble of appellate courts.

The suggestions seems to have been made to find a justice who has a different worldview from the standard justice, consistent with Obama's attempts to find solutions that work for the everyman rather than those with the silver spoons. The goal isn't to find a woman, or someone of a different race, but to find someone who isn't the normal part of the bureaucratic machine where justices often come from and who still has enough familiarity with the general population to fully account for how the decision made in the Supreme Court affect the public.
