> My guess is this means having 9 women on the Supreme Court is to make up for all the years there were 9 men on the Supreme Court.

I took that to mean "just as it was unremarkable in the very recent past for the SC to be 100% male, it should be unremarkable if in the future it became 100% female (on merit)".




Well, it's doubtful it would be based completely on merit in either scenario.
