tejek,

re:you want to restrict them to 10% of gov't representation. What is your second job......being an ayatollah? Are you going to be pushing for veils next?


Let me try again - the numbers I posted for government jobs held by women is in the range of 10-20% therefore (I assume) the Supreme Court should at least reflect that number as a base and up to the number of women in the population 50% (to be equal/fair).

The court currently reflects the pool of qualified candidates 2/9 approx. 22% soon going to 1/9 or 11% - lower but still within the range (barely).

So unless affirmative action is forced on the President(s) to get the numbers to population numbers "I assume" it will most likely reflect an equal percentage to the available pool in the future as well.

In case you didn't notice I have not expressed my personal opinion on whether it should reflect the pool or the population. I just presented the facts as they are.

PS: How much do ayatollah's make? <g>
