Will Trump pick a woman of color for SCOTUS?

[Horus]

Conventional wisdom is that Barrett will be selected but I think this is an underrated possibility. He's been trying really hard to reach minority voters, polls show they are more likely than white voters to be undecided. This could be a big step towards that.

[DrScholl]

Probably not. If he did Republicans would most certainly start believing in racism so they could call Democrats racist for opposing the nominee.

[Wrong about 2024 Ghost]

No. He views anyone who's not a white male of his general class as a prop. And he's not going to put a prop in a position to rule on his crimes and attempts to stay in power, no matter what mouth-noises anyone makes at him.

[Bootes Void]

No, Althought if he picks someone like Hardiman, it wouldn't be too bad

[Ferguson97]

No, Amy Coney Barrett is white.

The betting sites are pretty bullish on his nominee being a woman.

They don't, uh, have many of those — this question is essentially just "will Trump nominate Barbara Lagoa?". I think the answer is no.

I wouldn’t even say she’s a woman of colour - she’s white Hispanic.

[Beet]

Trump has never nominated a Black person for an appeals court judgeship his entire presidency. If he picks a conservative Black woman I think it's one of the few things he could do that could actually help him if he doesn't want ideological compromise with the Democrats.

No. He views anyone who's not a white male of his general class as a prop. And he's not going to put a prop in a position to rule on his crimes and attempts to stay in power, no matter what mouth-noises anyone makes at him.

He wants a woman and he wants a woman who is rich enough to be at least semi-respected by him (he likes people like Betsy DeVos and Elaine Chao because they have 9+ figure net worths).

Are there any female lower court judges out there who have wealthy husbands/families who Trump would be willing to consider his "peers?"

How many conservative female justices of color do you know?
