Someone listens to Rush... 
Heard that yesterday too. 
I am definitely not proposing that is has to be a woman, it's more of a prediction....
I personally believe they should, like any other promotion anywhere, PICK THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON without ever considering race, religion, or sexual preferences. Judge by Merit and not by perceptions. |

They must be throwing around snowballs in hell, because we 100% agree on something. Hell has officially frozen over.  |

I'd certainly agree that qualifications should be the primary selection criteria.
But there are well qualified people from all walks of life. While I don't think the Supreme Court must reflect society, personally I'd rather see a well qualified and diverse Supreme Court than a well qualified non-diverse court.
Considering there's only one woman on the court at present (Ginsberg), who will be pushing 80 soon, I think the notion of nominating a well qualified woman would be prudent and shouldn't be looked at as a negative because of an affirmative action stigma.

I dont have any problems with a woman as long as Obama honestly picks the person he thinks is most qualified. As a multi racial guy, he should be more in tune with this and try to pick the best person for the job. My fingers are crossed and I hope for the best. This country survived Carter, we survived Bush (said to make left happy) and we will survive Obama. This country sometimes seems crazy, we can't drive straight down the road, every 4 years or so we switch drivers who yanks the wheel either left or right. If we were in a car, we'd be pulled over for DUI......
