Minnesota U.S. District Court Judge Wilhelmina Wright is said to be on President Joe Biden's list of potential nominees to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer — as black and female, she checks the right boxes.

She also has some experience in the judiciary — which probably helps, too. She's been a federal prosecutor and is the only judge in the state's history to have served at the district court, appellate court and state Supreme Court level, according to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.

But Wright's apparent willingness to place a higher priority on social justice over legal justice — as she did in a January sentencing decision — should be a red flag to senators tasked with assessing her fitness to serve on the nation's highest court.
