People criticize RBG’s clerkship hiring record for hiring only one African-American in 30 years. (Paul Watford, whom she chose over me, as she should have.)

Who was the African-American candidate RBG overlooked in 1994-2020? The names and resumes of whom she chose are public. Who was the inferior candidate she should have bumped? Give a name and a year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_law_clerks_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States_(Seat_6) …

Replying to @tedfrank
Not many people have a clue how few African-Americans are out at the far right edge of the cognitive bell curve from which Supreme Court clerks are drawn. It's like South Asian cornerbacks or Mexican 100m dash men.

You could have replaced RBG with a 105 IQ slate reader and gotten exactly the same decisions.
