Today's oral argument was a glaring reminder of the need for a federal judiciary that reflects the diversity of the public it serves. The Senate can help diversify the bench during the lame duck by prioritizing courts+ confirming 30 judicial noms.

Affirmative action is one of the many necessary tools to foster and achieve racial equity in this country, Its fate before will have immediate and reverberating effects on our country’s broader pursuit of a genuinely multiracial democracy.

It is deeply alarming to hear justices ask, ‘when is the endpoint’ for affirmative action, as if a magic wand can be waived to end systemic racism in this country, including in access to higher education. - Zinelle October

Kagan, responding to the claim that racial diversity in education doesn’t matter: “I thought that part of what it meant to be an American and to believe in American pluralism is that, actually, our institutions are reflective of who we are as a people in all our variety.”

In less than 3 weeks, the Senate will be back in session. Regardless of election outcomes, the Senate needs to prioritize judges during this lame duck session. That doesn't mean one or two confirmations. It means confirming 30 judicial nominees.
