Though an excellent choice. The confirmation process for Thomas was contentious. He barely made it through.

5. Person with multicultural background and some experience with other Countries, especially with third-world nations
6. A powerful intellectual with media savvy
7. And a real SOB.

We have so much under-representation on the Court, there are so many races and genders that should be considered.

law school grad, maybe someone who's actually had to work for a living - then we can get down to the details.

Are you somehow implying something about Ginni Thomas?

And if so, since you obviously mean it as an insult, please rethink.
