Of the 10,000 women that are there - graduates from the elite law schools (like Hillary etc) no one is equal to or better than Alito. I find that hard to believe.

I'd say no harder to believe that, than to believe none of the other 89,999 men are better qualified either :)

Of all the things to worry about in Bush's choices for SC, I'd rank candidate gender among the lowest. The SC is not designed to be representative of the general population, and if anything I'd say that's probably a good thing. I would not like to think the evangelical wing could insist on one or two candidates who would use their faith to inform and direct every judgement, for example.
