I agree about the numbers disparity, but I think it's most critical to have one member of a group there, to be able to speak up about things which their experience may have taught them which the rest just wouldn't otherwise consider. I think you're entirely right that the court should have more women, but I'm more eager right now to see one gay member, of either sex.

AFAIK, the specific openly gay candidates under consideration all do happen to be women, though, so we may get both. I haven't researched them as judicial candidates, so I haven't the foggiest idea whether I approve of them as judges, but the demographics would sure be nice.
