The Supreme Court does not come close to representing the country

Numerous Republican senators have criticized President Joe Biden's promise to nominate a Black woman as the next Supreme Court justice.

That Biden would focus on Black women is "offensive" and "insulting," according to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

"You know Black women are what, 6% of the US population? He's saying to 94% of Americans, 'I don't give a damn about you, you are ineligible,' " Cruz said on a podcast released on Sunday.

Cruz forgets or ignores that 94% of Supreme Court justices, from the founding of the country until now, have been White men. Exactly 0% of Supreme Court justices during the course of US history have been Black women.
