Editor’s Note: It’s thanks to Chris Williams’ column in “Above the Law” that most of us know about Ilya Shapiro’s disgusting racist tweets about “lesser black women,” which got him fired from Georgetown Law right after being hired…
In our correspondent T R Black’s friendly note to Chris (below), he gave a big shout-out to the black woman HE thinks would be the best Supreme Court pick, one who is even better than Biden’s list of 13 worthies, UCI Law’s Michele Bratcher Goodwin (below.) Over to TR…
Hey Chris,
Thanks for putting together this illuminating piece of news, including Max Kennerly’s disputation with the Shapiro brothers (poor Georgetown Law) and the link to Amy Coney Barrett‘s answers to the Senate Questionnaire.
I wish I had been aware of this document when I penned this brief brief regarding Amy Coney Barrett’s qualifications as a person. As you can easily discern, she was unable to answer my cursory inquiries!
As far as Biden’s opportunity to improve the Court, while all thirteen of the currently discussed candidates easily exceed the judicial wisdom of any of the current members, especially Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh and Barrett, I would nominate a person FAR beyond anyone on the current Court: Michele Bratcher Goodwin of UCI Law.
You can see it on the face of the esteemed Dean of UC Berkeley, Erwin Chemerinsky, when he sits on a panel discussion with her: Ms. Goodwin’s light is SO bright, she needs to wear shades at night. Upon confirmation, she would immediately take it to the next level and dominate EVERY aspect of the court, from erudite questioning of petitioners, to writing opinions, to the meetings of the justices, and public speaking engagements, all while setting new standards of fashion sensibilities.
As a nation, we would finally have someone to look up to again within that institution. With its current low public approval ratings, god knows this Supreme Court needs a goddess like Goodwin more than ever.
Respectfully submitted,
T R Black.

I am OUTRAGED by TR Black’s comparison of Biden’s list of nominees with the current members of the Supreme Court!
To quote him: “all thirteen of the currently discussed candidates easily exceed the judicial wisdom of any of the current members, especially Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh and Barrett.”
Have you no decency, sir? WHAT ABOUT GORSUCH? How could you possibly leave him out?
Decency? What decency, sir? Did you not read my brief on the “why” Amy Coney Barrett is the political hack she has become today?
I left off the masked man of mystery because he is only half Catholic…and completely apolitical. Well, if you ignore his recent headlining appearance at the Florida Federalist Society event, where he was on the stage with Mike Pence, Ron DeSantis, and Kayleigh McEnany. No political hacks there…and, he is considered the brightest of the Trump nominees. Yikes! At least he is a handsome devil.
And the only one who won’t wear a mask, preventing diabetic Sotomayor from attending in person.
All right, ignore the “decency” part. Have you no comprehensiveness?
I think that Kavanaugh is brighter than Gorsuch. Gorsuch has written some howlingly bad opinions since his ascension. Kavanaugh has mostly written sobbingly bad ones.
*Are you folks looking at the Supreme Soviet or the Supreme Court? This is perhaps the worst Supreme Court in American History. Of course, we didn’t live thorough Sacco-Vincente or Alien and Sedition Acts so we can only say…….these people are so out of the loop they should carry their Trumpy Bears onto the bench when making their decisions.
We should send them brand new Gold Braided MAGA hats.
