RE: "have one of the best educated female populations in the world and you want to restrict them to 10% of gov't representation." The status quo is unacceptable. There is a lack of awareness over how many women with children stay at home out of force of the corporate structure. Regards, Amy J

tejek, re:The percentage of women aged 16 or above participating in the civilian workforce is 60%; for men, its 70% You really are irrational - the subject was supreme court candidates, I posted the percentages available. Deal with the facts not 16 year olds , they don't qualify as judges. re:and you want to restrict them to 10% of gov't representation. What is your second job......being an ayatollah? You are such a judgemental dick for a liberal - I never said anything like that.

tejek, re:you want to restrict them to 10% of gov't representation. What is your second job......being an ayatollah? Are you going to be pushing for veils next? Let me try again - the numbers I posted for government jobs held by women is in the range of 10-20% therefore (I assume) the Supreme Court should at least reflect that number as a base and up to the number of women in the population 50% (to be equal/fair). The court currently reflects the pool of qualified candidates 2/9 approx. 22% soon going to 1/9 or 11% - lower but still within the range (barely). So unless affirmative action is forced on the President(s) to get the numbers to population numbers "I assume" it will most likely reflect an equal percentage to the available pool in the future as well. In case you didn't notice I have not expressed my personal opinion on whether it should reflect the pool or the population. I just presented the facts as they are. PS: How much do ayatollah's make? <g>

tejek, re:The percentage of women aged 16 or above participating in the civilian workforce is 60%; for men, its 70%. Let's run some numbers - from your link: Jobs Women in the Civilian Labor Force 20 Leading Occupations of Employed Women 57 The percentage of women age 16 and over in the civilian labor force. The percentage for men is 70%. So the math is 57/(57+70) = 44% of the work force is women. I believe my estimate for a representative number on the court was up to 40%. I think my guesstimate was fairly accurate - given that this 44% is not what's currently in the pool of Supreme candidates but someday could be. - Eric
