   Seems like 2 women on the Supreme court is the max. Obama will most likely nominate another Justice in the future. Bet there won't be much pressure on him to appoint another woman.

Does it matter?

2. I don't know but I daresay we need to have Asians, Native Americans,
   
and other groups represented as well--male or female.
Um, no.

4. I'd love to see it too...
   
We could never have a complete mix (unless we instituted my friend's idea of a larger Supreme Court, a branch that deals with present cases and another that works retroactively, examining law already made) of every possible ethnic background represented, but some more variety would be nice.
Hey DUmmie, the courts only look at laws that are already made, they don't rule on future laws.

5. Here's an idea...
   
Lets not give a crap what anyone's ethnicity, gender, religion etc.. etc.. etc.. etc.. is and swear in the most qualified person. Otherwise we end up with "There's not enough left handed, red hair, diabetic presbyterians on the court!"
Well, that's not very "progressive of you. Don't you support Affirmative Action Appointees?  Like Sotomayor?

That is the wrong starting point. First the court must reflect the gender balance of the nation. Only then should qualifications be considered.

And why stop there? Police, politicians, judges - as groups they must accurately reflect the gender balance of the people they serve. Anything less is more of the same old.
Wow, canetoad has been licking poisonous toads, I think.

Do you think the DUmmies have any idea why the statue of lady justice wears a blindfold?

Heres's a clue DUmmies, justice is, or ought to be, blind.

So, if I read that right- the only way a liberal will find any justice is if every government agency reflex the exact % of the population in it's employees?

What is the population breakdown in the US now-days?

Population projections       2008    2050
Non-Hispanic whites           68%     46%
Hispanic                           15 %    25%
African Americans              12%     20%
Asian American                   5%       9%

Have you dickheads ever listened to an opinion from Souter, Breyer or Stevens?  These "fellas" probably became judges in the first place because they felt more comfortable in the judges dress umm, I mean robes than they do in a business suit.  Any one of them have more estrogen flowing through their system, at any given time, than Buzzy Ginsberg did when she was deep in the throws of menopause.  (Hell, I can't swear to it, but I think Buzzy has a hard-on for the bearded clam anyway.)

Don't worry DUmbasses, you pussies are well represented on the Supreme Court.

Well, I guess any group that can't break 11% is out, then!

"TWO" moonbat women are enough to unbalance anything.
