RBG's perfect answer

The nation's first U. S. Supreme Court Justice with a cult following and rock-star appeal, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was addressing a group of law students.   She was asked when she thinks there will be enough women on the court.

She answered, as though the question didn't even need to be asked:

"When there are nine."

 Now, before you think she's being a bit chauvinistic, remember that for most of our nation's history the court has been made up of nine men.   And the four present women comprise the largest number, ever.    About time to even things up.
