Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) believes that the “identity” of a Supreme Court nominee is “just the starting step” in the nomination process.
During an interview with Yahoo Finance that was published on Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Identity is just the starting step when we are discussing a Supreme Court justice. There is no shortage of incredible, qualified, leading Black female candidates to serve on the Supreme Court.”
“But the question is: what is going to be that nominee’s world view? And what I hope is that what we see is a nominee that is truly rooted in not just public service, but with a protection towards the very rights that frankly have been eroded over the last not just two, three, five years but the last 10 years,” she added.
