Supreme Court

Why does Biden announce he will nominate a black woman? Herein lies the problem with affirmative action thinking -- by putting this out there, he more or less undermines the earned credentials of whoever he nominates. He advertises that the primary reason for her nomination is her race and gender. 

My point: just nominate the black woman. He only does this signaling to a) promote the ideology of his base and b) to show off the use of power to enforce such ideology.
