GALLERY In an e-mail, she wrote that the “[i]nclusion of women on the bench is important not because they may influence voting patterns in a narrow band of cases, but because equal- ity demands that women have access to positions and opportunities of which they have long been deprived. The law is a very powerful force in our society, and for most of American history, women were not trusted to wield that power. Having three women on the Supreme Court is important, to my mind, because it is a symbol that the law will treat women as full and equal citizens.” Women judges have views to contribute that their male counterparts don’t, but that doesn’t mean those women necessarily agree with each other. That possible disagree- ment raises the significance of the number of women on the court, say, to three, to create an environment in which women can contribute those views without feeling as if their view represents those of all women. “Women make good judges for the same reason they make good lawyers — they apply the law to the facts,” said Lehrmann, “It’s not about political ideology. You don’t want every person on the bench to be cookie cutter copies, having a unique perspective improves a system that helps our country remain the stable one that it is.” — Susannah Jacob for the editorial board
