The point that Green seems to be making to me is that he doesn't care if they are all old white men, as long as they are qualified.

I don't know about that. He mainly has been arguing for Posner, who is old, white, and conservative ( although not in quite the dogmatic vein required of W's appointees ). Given 2 nominations, W nominated 2 Federalist Society dogmatists who are going to sit there for 30 years. And the SC already has 6 Republican appointees. Why Obama is supposed to have nominated a 70 year old conservative is a conundrum. It's not like green or any of the "pro" set would vote for him if he did.
