  The Next Supreme Court Justice

  I believe that a mix of experiences that aspires to reflect the diverse values and perspectives in our citizenry -- is critically important.  If women must live by the rules handed down by that court, then we need to have voices on that court to represent our interests. It's just not rational to believe an overwhelmingly male court can adequately consider how its decisions would impact 51 percent of this country, since men are from Mars and women are from Venus, remember?
  
  And since we have a progressive administration anyway, saying we'll take any old qualified progressive Justice is setting the bar pretty low, don't you think? To paraphrase NY Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo who, with Gov. Patterson, was very unhappy to have not a single woman among the nominees to replace NY Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye, if we can't find a single solitary qualified woman to serve on Supreme Court, then something is wrong.

  Women Unite: Upcoming Conferences "She's Geeky" & "Fem2.0"

  The purpose of Fem2pt0 is not "to bring feminists from around the country together to pool resources, discuss goals, and create stronger connections between the issues women and families face and policy goals that can effectively address them," but rather to connect women online with the issues. The Internet aspect is very, very important, since we've seen what women online can do throughout the elections. This conference aims to put a little organization around all that power.
  
  Hope to see you there!
