Sotomayor A question of balance

The new Supreme Court nominee has drawn fire from the right for supposedly suggesting that a Latina woman would make a better judge than a white male. I think what she needs to do is to qualify this thought and reframe it as a question of balance. Then she could have a lawsuit with the Moody Blues who used it as an album title.

Siriusly, she simply needs to convey the idea that the Supreme Court, like any center of American power has to be reasonably reflective of the population over which it is exercising that power.
