You know, I might support an amendment if it required not just male and female but also transgendered justices. And what about women who have a Y chromosome? I think they must have a totally unique perspective as well. wink

Seriously, what a terrible idea. As much as it pains me to see so few women in the top legal positions in our country, requiring that any particular judge or justice be of any particular gender (or race, or religion, etc.) is simply outrageous. Why not promote gender equality in other ways, such as by mandating more family-friendly labor policies?
