From what I heard this morning from Tavis Smiley on the Tom Joyner Show, she is like a Catch-22 for "us." She is an African-American woman that has been nominated by Dubya for the Appellate(sp?) Court, which happens to be a "feeder" for the Supreme Court. The catch? Even though she is a sista, she is said to be the female version of Clarence Thomas.
You do the math....
If I can find more info, I'll post it. Hope that helps.
