Racial Profiling?

Here in the shadow of his first 100 days, President Obama, will get to nominate a new supreme court judge. And all I hear from the "experts" is he needs to seat a woman or a Hispanic, or even better a Hispanic woman! Gee, I don't hear anything about whether or not the candidate has the right credentials or experience. If the supreme court "needs" to be racially/sexually diverse, then why not Lance Ito? He could fill the Asian-American quota. Where is the Muslim judge? Mr. Obama, you don't "need" to seat a judge of a particular race or sex, you need to seat a judge who has the knowledge of constitutional law. The highest court in the land is not there to be diverse for diversity's sake, but to make rulings on cases according to the LAW.
