How many women should be on the Court?
Justice O'Connor announced her retirement this morning. Mindful that Justice Marshall was replaced by Justice Thomas, there will be pressure on the President to nominate a woman. (Not as much, of course, because there is Justice Ginsburg. But more than 1/9 lawyers are women...)
Everyone's lists were targeted to a Rehnquist requirement, and did not need to undertake any of this speculation. Does this narrow it to Clement, Jones, and the not-yet-seated Brown?
