When man after man is selected, and statistically it is out of whack with the number of candidates, that is why I bring it up.

She could never provide any statistics on the sexuality of candidates despite repeated requests. She's pulling a "Ted" and just making up claims like the above to support her sexist view that the candidate should be a woman.

There are 9 Justices on the Court and just one woman out of nine. There is no law that there has to be an even split or even a split dependent on the ratio/formula you suggested. However, given that half the population is women in this country, Amy thinks it would have been reasonable to replace the second woman Justice with another woman. And give the vast pool of judges, both male and female, the odds very much favor that there are several men and women with the same impeccable credentials and equally qualified to be a Justice. Bush could have chosen a woman...instead he picked a man. The message it sends to women in this country is a negative one. When all things are equal, a man will be picked over a woman. That's the message Amy is criticising...........and its not an unreasonable one.

So stop pretending that every thing is based on a logical formula devised by Elroy; that the world is a rational place where decisions are based purely on expertise and not bias. In fact, why don't you simply voice your criticism and move on instead of trying to make everyone who disagrees with you look to be the fool. Its not working, and more and more, you look like an asshole.
