Seriously, I was hoping for a woman of Spanish language heritage, and he delivered!
It's about time that, ethnically, a quarter of the country gets a little respect. To say nothing of over half the population of female citizens!

but hopefully Obama's next pick will introduce religious diversity into the mix as well. Maybe a woman atheist.

You know when Hillary lost the nomination THIS is what I focused on, The Presidents ability to appoint a Supreme Court Justice.
Since then Barack Obama has won me over a thousand times over but THIS is what got me through the worst of it; knowing that President Obama was a good man and would appoint an equally good person to the bench.
He did that and more. I am very happy today. Thank You President Obama.
