I’d be more sympathetic to the argument that a latina or any member of a minority race will bring a new and better approach to the law if the people making that argument weren’t also the same people that also think a sitting member of the Supreme Court is not “black enough” for the same to be said of him.

That’s what hypocrisy smells like.
