A supreme court justice was asked the same question. I don't agree with it completely but think it's an interesting opinion.
>Rosen: Why is it good for men—as you said recently, there should be nine women on the Supreme Court …
>Ginsburg: No, I didn’t say there should be. The question was when will there be enough, so there’ll be enough when there are nine.
>For most of our history, except the times the court was less than nine, and the one time there were 10, they were, until Justice O’Connor, all men. And nobody thought anything was unusual about that.
