Interesting that Cong. Clyburn likes Judge Childs (above Judge Jackson.)

Considering that he's a 'king/'maker, if I were a betting person, I'd go with her too, I guess.

1. He says she has the support of Graham and Scott, too.

If true, she'd be a shoo-in.

'Mr. Clyburn, who helped Mr. Biden revive his candidacy with a crucial primary win in South Carolina nearly two years ago, made a case that Judge Childs would not only satisfy Mr. Biden’s campaign pledge to appoint a Black woman to the court, but that the judge was particularly appealing because she came from a blue-collar background — another underrepresented group among federal judges.

“One of the things we have to be very, very careful of as Democrats is being painted with that elitist brush,” Mr. Clyburn told The New York Times last year for an article that revealed how he was pushing her for the court.

He added: “When people talk to diversity they are always looking at race and ethnicity — I look beyond that to diversity of experience.”'

8. If Biden & Clyburn are naming either of them, they're already both qualified as Dem noms.

They are professional dedicated juris doctorates & recognized by 2 of our most solid Dem leaders to be seated on the highest court in the land.

7. A general rule of thumb is that if it someone I support Jim Clyburn ends up deep six'ng them.

9. Can you give an example when Clyburn "deep sixed" your choice?

What was his reason?

Isn't she from South Carolina?

14. I like her background

The Supreme Court has been packed with grads from the Ivies for too long. It would be good to have someone who has a better idea of what ordinary people deal with - unlike the last 3 appointments
