Will Obama nominate 2 more women to the Supreme Court?

[kentuck]

If given the opportunity?

This will be a big positive from this election.

1. If he nominates a couple of progressives, I'll be happy.

[MineralMan]

2. Probably not. Maybe one more.

More important is whether his appointees, when he gets a chance, be progressives in spirit.

10. We may be able to increase that number. Send Scalia sausage biscuits with heavy gravy and Thomas

lots of smoking hot porn.

14. Scalia can not be a terribly well man.

The guy looks like exists solely on whole sides of beef, entire pies and lard.

3. It would be nice if one branch of the government had equal representation

but it would depend on which women. Judge Judy would be a big step up from the RATS+K five.

4. We are still waiting for a replacement for Thurgood Marshall...

Eric Holder or Deval Patrick or if not to be, hope Hillary45 nominates Obama himself in 2017.

what an insult to have Clarence Thomas been the replcacemnt for Marshall.

5. Substance...

Above all I want to see sane judgement...progressive ideals are not even as important.

I don't think any of us want to see legislation from the bench but we have to quell the cycle of putting our people in there and then watching the next GOP executive (shiver) nominate their people when they get in.

The judiciary should represent sound judgement before they represent partisan politics.

For that matter I believe that they should be evenly male and female by law with the odd judge being the senior member of the court.

Our future depends on sound judgement. It is imperative that partisan politics evolve into a science of mutual responsibility for all citizens rather than the simple advancement of an agenda that half the people disagree with.

6. Hilary for the Supreme Court.

Said it before and I'll keep saying it.

[lyingsackofmitt]

7. Hope so

Young, progressive women that will live a long, long time!

[Mike Nelson]

8. I don't care about the gender...

...as long as they're for equal rights!

[CTyankee]

11. I think it is important that we have even MORE women on the court.

IMO, it should be 5 women, 4 men, because we have more women than men in this country. We surely have plenty of women to choose from...

[kentuck]

12. I would agree.

with that sentiment.

[CTyankee]

13. We'd get stuff done, that's for sure...

[hifiguy]

9. I would love to see Goodwin Liu or Harold Koh

on the SCOTUS.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. Since we have a white woman and a Latina I would hope that

an African American woman would be the next nominee.

The court needs to reflect the makeup of the country and this would be a step in the right direction.

[Smarmie Doofus]

16. As long as they're *young*, i.e younger than 50, it's fine by me.

Scalia was barely 50.

Thomas was 40-something.

Republicans play this game for keeps.


Wiki on SCOTUS

>>>However, justices tend to be appointed after having made significant achievements in law or politics, which excludes many young potential candidates from consideration. At the same time, justices appointed at too advanced an age will likely have short tenures on the Court.>>>>

Tee-hee. Them was the daze.

[HopeHoops]

17. Hopefully.

18. I only hope it is an Asian, Indian, or Mid-eastern n/t
