The vast majority of people say the best candidate should be chosen for the Supreme Court, regardless of what "box" that person may check in the name of diversity.
That's according to the latest unscientific poll of 533 people at SharylAttkisson.com.
When asked what's the next box that should be checked on the nation's high court, 76% said the best candidate should get the spot.
The next most popular answer was an "illegal immigrant" with 4% of the vote, followed by someone "over age 100" with 3% of the vote. A few people believe a non-English speaking candidate should be the next box checked.

Biden and Brown-Jackson belong in the latter category. {My apology to Turkey's}
She was confirmed in spite of valid concerns.
Trump appointed 3 Justices, I thought they were fine choices. The Democrats put up a good smoke screen to confuse the issue. They proved to be Sleeper Agents for the Swamp with their first vote the that occurred with them voting.
