Isn't that absolutely ridiculous that they can't find a woman out of the zillion female judges and lawyers out there? You are so sexist its ridiculous. Bush should appoint the best person he can find, not the best woman he can find.

...where people truly were represented - one Latino, one black, one white, one Chinese, one Indian, one Native Indian, etc. And 50% women and 50% men... Amy, you did forget an Arab/Muslim. Or are you deliberately discriminating? :) Taro

Tejek, unbelievable that Bush nominates yet another man for the Surpreme Court. Isn't that absolutely ridiculous that they can't find a woman out of the zillion female judges and lawyers out there? This country's Administration is no better than so-called unfree Muslim countries that Bush loves to spout off about. What a hypacrite. It doesn't surprise me in the least. He appoints women and people of color when the position is either unimportant or not critical or both. And I am not surprised he appointed someone who is not a familiar name. You just know that he is a hard core neocon opposed to abortion, gay marriage, separation of church and state, and sex in general. I read there's this person that bought an island and declared it as a country and UK fought this, but a UK judge declared the UK govt had no right to tell this person they couldn't have a country. Too funny. I thought about the USA and all that's wrong with it - Supreme Court being basically all male, Congress not representing young people at all, etc etc. It would be nice to have a country from scratch where people truly were represented - one Latino, one black, one white, one Chinese, one Indian, one Native Indian, etc. And 50% women and 50% men. That would be the way I would do it. Not just outdated men that Bush picks making decisons for women and young people. Did you see how Rhenquist refuses to quit even though he has prostate cancer? He knows what's up and he will stick it out as long as he can. Its sad........people are trying to do the right thing but this is a very bad time. ted
