If justice is to be served, it must demand qualifications before quotas. We all know that, right?

I don't know if there is anything more destructive to a nation than political correctness. Competence must always take a back seat quotas based on skin color, religion, sexual orientation, and genitalia, eventually degrading every institution.

as badly as clerks as we need them as Justices. When you get more of them as Justices, of course, then you'll also have more of them as clerks. Given the make-up of the nation, we ought to have AT LEAST four women on the Supreme Court all the times.
As for Clarence Thomas, I doubt lots of women are dying to work for him. There was Anita Hill, and then there is the fact that Justice Thomas generally votes against women in his decisions. Ledbetter and Engquist cases come to mind.
