The Left and SCOTUS - It's not really about gender

The fact that the Left's opposition of qualified judicial nominees is actually not based on gender OR race should come as no surprise to many of our readers. OpinionJournal though has this from Justice Ginsburg which clearly indicates that it is IDEOLOGY:

There is another goal: to ensure that, if the president nominates a woman, she is their kind of woman. Remarkably, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did some politicking on this point earlier this week.

On Wednesday, Justice Ginsburg told an audience that she doesn't like the idea of being the only female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, but that in replacing Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, "any woman will not do." There are "some women who might be appointed who would not advance human rights or women's rights."

When she was counsel for the ACLU, Justice Ginsburg advocated that there was a constitutional right to prostitution and that the age of consent should be lowered to 12. With a "human rights" standard as high as that, Mr. Bush's job just got a whole lot tougher.

So what really she wants is a WOMAN WHO AGREES WITH ME.
