It is noted that for the first time, there are three female justices, along with six men, on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The women are new Justice Elena Kagan and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor. The men are Chief Justice John G. Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
If proper judicial impartiality prevailed, it shouldn't matter how many women, men, Democrats, Republicans or other categories were represented. The ideal is "equal justice under law." Unfortunately, that ideal does not prevail today. Some justices reflect their personal philosophies and views in some of their rulings.
How we wish the Constitution, the laws enacted under the Constitution, wisdom and true impartiality prevailed in every Supreme Court decision.
