Are there any African-American or Asian-American female judges that President Obama can nominate to replace her that can be confirmed by a Republican Senate?
There's been talk about Kamala Harris if she doesn't go into the Senate. I'm not sure if she would be confirmed or not.
Leah Ward Sears was one of the runners-up for Obama's first appointment to the court.
Personally I would love Debo Adegbile, or Ken Thompson (Brooklyn DA) on the court, but I'd also like Ginsburg's replacement to be a woman. If only Hilda Solis was a lawyer...
