The first woman in the Supreme Court announced today she is retiring.she's 75. There's only one other woman in the Supreme Court. Both are white...

Any comments?

They shud let in black woman, is that what you WANT to hear? Anyways, I don't care for politics.

Oh, wow, she's retiring; I thought she'd make a great candidate for the next supreme justice.

um, it seems like you want us to say something.
im not sure what, but i have no comments, so there.

actually, i think auls right, i think you want us to say "omg the surpreme court is soooo racist why dont they ever put any black people in it? ugh, idiots"
and if im wrong, my apoligies =]
but um. thats not my comment ^o^

you can say whatever you want it's your opinion.

i dont' really see anything bad about it. but i'm not into politics either so eh.

I think that from the news that I heard earlier in the morning when they first heard that Sandra Day O' Connor was retiring, I wasn't really surprised, because she's getting older and she does need her rest sooner or later.

I figured Rehnquist would be the first to go. He's old, and has thyroid cancer, after all.

Open the floodgates for months-long Senate nominee hearings/filibusters!

i really dont care ....but if its to determine the judicial branch of the government i would pick a women who is more liberal and bend the borders of the constitution

i thought the same.

i think there's a big fear that the republican party will dominate all three branches of government. the dems are going to fight pretty hard to block bush's nominations.

I'm actually pretty pissed that she retired. She was the only liberal judge in the Supreme Court. If the Democrats can filibuster hard enough, hopefully we won't have another conservative judge.

Hmmm.. She is kinda old to continue working.
I think she should get some rest.

i'm not into politics at all. not that i dont want to be i just hardly know anything about it. but yeah.. i guess i dont really have anything to say to this.

what in the world does the fact that they're both white have to do with anything at all?

^^ i was gonna say that.
i wanna join the supreme court one day =].

Honestly people, who cares what color they are?
Quit being so shallow and get a life.

right...

how many supreme court justices have there been?

like, 50 or so, probably.

now, what percent of black women are lawyers? how about latino women? asian women?

each are less than 2%.

so why the hell should there be a woman justice that's not white? there aren't any nonwhite women who should be considered, that's why.

bleh not into that stuff

liberal? she was more centrist than liberal.

She was pretty centrist, which is why she did a good job as a Supreme Court justice.

i think you people are what i swrong with the world

= )

anyway. its a shame she's retiring, bet its better to leave 5 minutes too early than ten too late. like that guy who died. senator. slightly odd name. southern. kicking myself for not remembering him

that comment about them both being white was completely unnecessary

the entire supreme court should be centerist in my opinion. but, compared to other justices, she was more liberal. how skewwed is our supreme court that a centerist judge is considered liberal?




south carolina senator. lemme google the name... strom thurmond. yea... it's a joke in the south that they just had a dead guy propped up with a broom.

Both are white huh?
Hah. Weird of you to say that but okay.

I thought the Supreme Court was life for them?
Then again. She is 75.

STROM THURMOND

yes.

i remembered that at like midnight last night. i hate not remembering names

It's "life," meaning they can have the position until they die; but they're allowed to retire earlier.
