Nobody else seems prepared to come out and say it, so I will. You don't have women, or African-Americans, or Latinas on the Supreme Court because the women, or African-Americans, or Latinas will rule differently than the old white guys; you have them there so the old white guys will rule differently. And better. Don't think for a heartbeat that the Warren Court would have been what it was without Thurgood Marshall in the room keeping them honest. As despicable as he is, Clarence Thomas still (barely) manages to provide this function.
