Whitener is a disabled black lesbian who immigrated from Trinidad. She joins Inslee’s two other appointees: Raquel Montoya-Lewis, a Jewish Native American who previously served on tribal courts, and Mary Yu, an Asian-American Latina lesbian who officiated the first same-sex marriages in the state. Are they “outstanding jurists”? Who cares! Though, to be fair, as the left defines “outstanding jurist,” they surely are: they can be counted on always to rule the correct way.
