the real diversity is that Kagan has not served as a judge before. This was true of Sandra Day O’Connor, as well and has been considered a deficiency in the court’s diversity of perspective.
Uh, did I miss a post? Only 9 on the court, but it might concern folks on the “papal influence” on the Court already. Wonder what folks would say if we got a Buddhist? A Rastafarian might be more fun, MARLEY’s ghost!

In 1975, she was elected judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court (Arizona) and served until 1979, when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals by Democratic Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt.

Hilarious (I especially like the drawings) but he’s got the seating assignments all wrong. No way is Sotomayor (the newbie) sitting next to the Chief.
