      Fair enough. But can we start with Janice Rogers Brown? Certainly an accurate representation of female perspectives would include a more diverse spectrum of views. I mean no disrespect to Justice Ginsburg (quite the opposite, actually), and by no means would I suggest that the views of the current female justices are monolithic. But the advantage of any affirmative campaign for fuller representation must ultimately be found in a diversity of viewpoints.
