(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says there will be enough women on the Supreme Court when all nine justices are female.

“So now the perception is, yes, women are here to stay. And when I’m sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court]? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that,” she said.

Ginsburg made the remark at the 10th Circuit Bench & Bar Conference that was held at the University of Colorado in Boulder in October.

University of Colorado Law School Dean Phil Weiser asked her: “When you joined the court, Sandra Day O’Connor had been the only woman for some time and you became two. After she left, you went back to having only a single woman, and now there are three. Could you reflect some on the dynamics of the court in terms of what it means to have a woman or more than one woman?” Weiser asked.
