I agree with your rationale. I would not necessarily call her a "safe" pick, but I do agree that she is qualified, not just a minority and should get the job.
I believe that no matter who he were to choose, both he and the candidate would be scrutinized, so he should just go with whomever he believes is best suited.
I hope that she is the best pick and is confirmed and does a great job as a Supreme Court Justice!
