Souter retires. . .

. . . and we have an opportunity! The National Organization for Women is circulating a petition on the internet that you can sign asking the President to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court.

Women lack role models at the highest levels of government, business, and the professions. We lack voices at the highest levels of decision-making in government, business, and the professions. The Supreme Court, like most corporate boards, Congress, or any other high-profile group you care to name, does not reflect the diversity of our population.

This is a chance for the President to rectify that situation just a little bit. It would be good for women everywhere to see a woman on the bench! So let's all go to NOW's website and give The Man a shoutout!
