re:disprove it with empirical evidence that contradicts that hypothesis

It appears as though 10-20% is about the correct number according to these statistics. Assuming you use a pool of federal and appeals court judges.


Nice find. Assuming that the current federal judges is an reasonable pool of eligible applicants, it would make sense to have one more woman appointed to the court........that would reflect the current gender ratio of the fed. judges.....of course that ratio is changing so quickly, adding a third woman in the next year or two would not be inappropriate.

As far as the federal judges being the pool, remember that Roberts for one only has two years experience as a federal judge.
