I wonder if the growing female population in the Supreme Court of the USA has anything to do with the need for the Democrats to get a better Abortion vote?

Opponents of Pro-Abortion Elena Kagan's Supreme Court Bid Find Silver Lining

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- From the outset of President Barack Obama's nomination of pro-abortion activist Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, her confirmation was virtually guaranteed. Today, the day after the Senate approved the nomination, Curt Levy of the Committee for Justice tries to find the silver lining.

With Democrats controlling nearly 60 votes, the ability of pro-life advocates and their Republican allies in the Senate to stop the nomination was difficult from the start.

But Levy, one of the top conservatives monitoring judicial nominees, says there is a silver lining that bodes well for those opposed to judicial activists who may be appointed to the high court in the future.

"Although the reality of 59 Democratic senators meant that the confirmation of Elena Kagan was never really in doubt, believers in the rule of law have several things to cheer in the Kagan confirmation battle," he writes in an op-ed in today's Daily Caller.

"Republican senators mounted their strongest opposition in more than century, sending strong signals to the White House about future Supreme Court picks, while teeing up important issues for this fall's Senate races," he said. "The confirmation fight also saw the continuing repudiation of the Left's living Constitution philosophy and the solidification of a profound change in the politics of judicial confirmations." Ref.

I find it very interesting that a person who has never been a lawyer or a judge has found herself on the highest court as a judge. Just because you teach law does not mean you fully understand the laws. Now we have one more piece of the puzzle in place for changing this great nation to something the forefathers warned us about.
