It actually bolsters @Mr. Deez claim that she was put on the bench because of her gender, at least it helped. As I stated, her level of experience should have put her far down the list of qualified candidates.
Of course, I don't have any issues with the SCOTUS more reflecting the US demographics as long as the experience bar is met. In recent years "experience" has become more devalued though which is a significant concern to me. It's as if we are betting that someone will be a good judge in the future with the more recent nominees.
