If people want diversity on the court, they should look less at race/gender and more at background. How about a nominee that didn't go to one of the handful of elite law schools? How about a nominee who worked as a public defender at one point or had a unique background to becoming a judge?
Seems like everyone on the court took a similar path to get there. The difference is whether they have to bow to the Federalist Society or not. Deviating from that might bring some unique voices to the court.
