Not ideal, but I'm not gonna die on this hill right now.  Now if this whole nation was SSPX Catholic, sure, maybe.  Even then there might be a bigger issue.

There's no need to "die," just point this out and move along.  It's important to remind ourselves of what things should look like in an ideal Catholics society, lest we forget the principles, but we're stuck with the society we live in and have to do our best with it.  Yet we have to avoid sliding to the point where we start believing certain things are OK or even get fooled into believing them to be idea simply because it's the best we can hope for in this anti-Catholic society we live in.  Obviously, all things being the same, I would prefer a strongly Pro Life female justice to a Pro-Abortion male any day.  But, as an ideal, every prospective appointee would be Pro Life and even Catholic, and so there would be plenty of qualified males to fill the position.

It's obvious that Trump is playing politics.  Selecting a female serves the purpose of softening the opposition toward her in that the Left will fear coming across as misogynists if they attack her too harshly (vs. what happened to Kavanaugh).  If Trump had found a conservative Black female who had the necessary qualifications and credibility, I'm sure he would have chosen her.

Maybe BC3000 is referring to the larger social context in our country and the world?  He would be right that to start objecting to her on the basis of her being female would be political death.  It is what it is.
