    Justice Mikulski?

    Posted Friday, May 01, 2009 2:26 PM | By Bonnie Goldstein
    I agree with Dahlia and E.J. on the importance of another female justice, so thanks to Emily for that list of competent women. I know this is a little out there and, since she is not a lawyer, I doubt she is on anybody's short list (except perhaps in regard to her diminutive height—under 5 feet), but how about Barbara Mikulski for the Supremes? The self-appointed "ambassador to the United States from the United States" is unfailingly liberal, deeply knowledgeable and very accustomed to being outnumbered by males. The Maryland senator may lack "judicial temperament" but, as the longest serving woman in the body, she knows the Hill better than any potential nominee.
