in my own home state of minnesota, judge mimi wright who sat on the state appellate court, state supreme court and federal district court, not someone who is inexperienced. sherrilyn ifill, everyone knows her work and everyone down the line, you can talk about. i highlight only a couple of them, but not because they could be excluded from the overall conversation. but this is the point, i am very curious going forward as to how these women will be treated, and vetted, and viewed. i've already seen rumblings on other networks about, well, are they qualified enough, have they had a long enough tenure, questions that were not asked of those recently stated, who had shorter appellate histories. i'm looking to see how america receives this embarrassment of riches. >> do you believe, gloria brown marshall, that this might get some republican support, granted it is such a partisan process now. i'm not talking about a lot, but some republican support, given the historical nature of this potential pick? >> i think as the historical nature of it. but you think about the states from which the women

and justice wilhemina wright, goes by mimi wright, out of my home state of minnesota. holding the bench at the state appellate level, at the supreme court level, and now as a federal district judge. the work of sherrilyn ifill is well known in the civil rights world. and i could go on with every single person who is even on the short list singing their praises. and none of their qualifications can be questioned. yet and still i'm sure you can imagine the state of affairs that people are already trying to impute something negative towards them or question whether they've been on the bench long enough. i just direct people to think about and compare and contrast how they might be reviewed compared to, say, a sitting justice of amy coney barrett who certainly is a legal scholar in her own right, and i do not want to take away from her qualifications. but it was not a requirement that she had a lengthy tenure in appellate court. and justice elena kagan on the other side of the aisle, so to speak, never a day as a judge before becoming a supreme court justice. so i hope the

one in particular, judge wright in minnesota where i'm from. served at the state appellate level and now a district judge. that's one of the people being talked about. not a dearth of actual experience or integrity. the idea of why this is so important is because listen, i know we talk about this being an apolitical group of nine and they should be and they should be impartial, but they've got to bring their entire selves with them and the diversity of experience, of what their lived or legal experience is always very important in the evaluation of some of the most important cases of not only my lifetime, but my parents and my childrens lifetime. look at what's before the court right now. the idea of a ban on a woman's right to choose. the idea in mississippi where it's an overwhelmingly disproportionate impact on black and brown communities. i want to have a black woman on the bench to really evaluate that. how about affirmative action, it's important to have somebody who could render an opinion based on the law and value of precedent. that all requires there not
