First female chief justice SCOVA

The first ever female chief justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia was sworn in Wednesday. My congratulations to Justice Cynthia Kinser.

Whenever one of these “firsts” comes along, I’m reminded of a post of mine from from four years ago where I first (at least on this blog) discussed the whole dynamic of race and gender. I think this is further fuel to the idea that gender trumps race, and that white women are #3.

Of course, I’m looking up from the perspective of a #4.
