2. Wilkins was the plaintiff

for MD's infamous Wilkins vs Maryland State Police ("driving while Black&quot case back in the '90s, the outcome eventually forcing the tracking of state police stops to help halt racial profiling. He currently serves as a District Court Judge in D.C.

At least if you listen to Charles Grassley, who somehow decided that filling open vacancies is tantamount to court packing

5. It just goes to show how racist they are, I mean ordinarily, Obama's choices for the bench

are generally conservative. He does not appoint any true Progressives!
