I thought today. WE have no woman on the Supreme Court. Patriarchy is back in style... and a lot women's rights that were part of the sixties and seventies are in jeopardy.. The liberal front, and especially the ACLU, will be scolding you. What about Justice Ginsberg? <g>

We've never had a woman as president or vice-president- and yet we get a lot of, what appear to be, rather badly qualified white men. How to explain it? :-)

I thought today. WE have no woman on the Supreme Court. We have Ruth Ginsberg. I think she is the equal of two or three SC justices combined (I will not name names) but that still only give women a minority representation. There was no reason for the Alito nomination. He does not bring anything to the table. We already have Scalia and Thomas. We need more diverse representation of viewpoints than adding Scalito (scalia light). I think Alito is more extreme than Scalia. At least with Scalia, he would have to stay on his toes if he wants to socialize with Ginsberg. He has a great deal of respect for her. Alito on the other hand is not only a right wing ideologue, but he is also not above being deceptive. His answers wrt his membership in the Princeton Alumni Club and the evasiveness of his answer to the question whether Roe vs. Wade was settle law are troubling.
