Yes, that is correct, the 53 appellate court Judges were selected by skin colour, among other things like being complete toadies and/or as per the American Bar Association, "unqualified".

Are you suggesting that there are no black persons at all, qualified to do the job, even though that many of the selected white people were rated "unqualified", by the ABA.

So you would then be suggesting that of all the legal people to choose from every single black person is less qualified to do the job than the white people who were rated as "unqualified".

Obviously absurd. So why would McConnell lean so heavily to white appointees? The answer is that the qualities he wanted was ones who are complete toadies.

For example Judge Rao, who was appointed to the Appellate court and also rated "unqualified" managed to convince one of the other appellate court judges to come over to her side and her reasoning in the case was "widely mocked".

The issue was so important that the full appellate court (en banc) sat to rehear the case and they promptly threw it out.
