The big woman-hunt is on. Ronald Reagan, rejector of ERA and quotas, is determined to replace Potter Stewart with a female Supreme Court Justice. That’s the word around town.
Alas, the search thus far has been unavailing. Promising, talented, experienced women, yes. But a woman who even comes close to the stature required for the job at this critical juncture, no. Insiders are urging the President to take the, focus off gender and put it on merit and national need. No seat on the Supreme Court is reserved for anyone, whether Jew, Catholic, black, woman, American Indian, Mexican-American, or homosexual, they appositely note.
