It is not racist at all. It is a sort of agreement to try and keep people on the supreme court who represent all the major cultures, races and genders. In the old days women or blacks were never appointed to the supreme court and so had little representation. For 200 years our supreme court looked like an old white guys club. The law is too existential to not make provisions i.e. the reason we keep getting 5/4,5/4,5/4 decisions along party lines shows that in the end judges, make a lot of law up. They make up the law to justify their decision. In fact in the 2000 election decision, they pointely said their rulinng could not be used for case law, that it was a one time ruling! So it is important for all races and genders to have representation. You should not be tripping up over this stuff. This is simple stuff. You must know better? <<African American's only get one seat on the supreme court. The dems gave them Thurgood Marshall. A man they were proud of; and the Republican's gave them Thomas a man they are ashamed of. Do you understand how racist the above statement is?
