Judge O'Connor: Americans are pretty ignorant about their justice system

Raw Story:


At her College of William and Mary speech this past weekend, O'Connor said that the presence of two women on the Supreme Court -- Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Sonia Sotomayor -- "is not enough."


"We need more" women on the bench, the Richmond Times-Dispatch quoted her as saying.
O'Connor went on the offensive about US education as well, describing Americans as "
pretty ignorant" about their justice system. "Just some minute percent of the people can name a single Supreme Court justice, but some 80 percent can name at least two judges on American Idol," O'Connor said.


O'Connor is leading a new education program called Our Courts which is you find the link on the right hand side of the blog.
