RE: "Well that's different, share with us your knowledge. What the sexual split of the potential candidates? Personally, I have no idea." Okay, but that doesn't explain why you don't immediately see the representation problem. Forgot you are out of the country so may not know the pool for women here is incredibly large. It's not like hightech nor the oil industry. The legal and court system is pack full of qualified women, so that's why this is so incredibly shocking. RE: " Great, then the court system will be used to prevent sexism in corporations. I'm in favor of that. As for the Supreme Court, I think you have too small" It's statistically out of whack. The pool of candidates is sufficiently large enough. Additionally, 9 is reasonably large enough to point to evidence of bias. It's truly shocking they aren't able to find more than ONE women in ALL of America's legal system, when it's packed full with very qualified women in the legal system with lots of experience. RE: "sexism, racism, age, height and hair/eye color groups" If I were in charge, I'd also have people of different weight represented - weight challenged, underweight, and medium. Regards, Amy J
