    Diving headlong into the worst aspects of identity politics in a desperate bid to appease his Progressive base this week President Joe Biden announced he would replace the retiring Justice Breyer by nominating a Black Woman. Not anyone in particular, naturally, as long as they meet the race and gender qualifier. Stunningly myopic and sure to insult whomever is now nominated, forever undercut by Biden's desire to appear as an agent of change Progressives can support.
