Cheryl lynn eiffel, it was said that she was a graduate of yam. but i want to set the record straight, she is alum of nyu which is where i m now. no wonder you wanted to correct that record. but i want to ask you, something i said on news hour, justice breyer is someone is you know, from the liberal wing of the court. but he is also seen as a pragmatist. and pragmatists are people who look for compromise, who look to bring people together. and one thing i said was basically no matter who president biden picks, that person, that black woman, is going to be pragmatic because the most pragmatic people in the world out of necessary it i are black women. do i have that wrong? why think that you are wrong, but i also think it is worth ....
