Women are still waiting to be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

That is a travesty. John Roberts never worked as an Associate Justice before being nominated as Chief Justice. The reason he was first nominated as an Associate Justice and then withdrawn to be nominated to Chief Justice is his age. It is ridiculous to realize that USA Presidents practice age discrimination in nominating any capacity to the Supreme Court.

SEC. 621. [Section 2] (click here)

(a) The Congress hereby finds and declares that-

(1) in the face of rising productivity and affluence, older workers find themselves disadvantaged in their efforts to retain employment, and especially to regain employment when displaced from jobs;

(2) the setting of arbitrary age limits regardless of potential for job performance has become a common practice, and certain otherwise desirable practices may work to the disadvantage of older persons;

(3) the incidence of unemployment, especially long-term unemployment with resultant deterioration of skill, morale, and employer acceptability is, relative to the younger ages, high among older workers; their numbers are great and growing; and their employment problems grave;

(4) the existence in industries affecting commerce, of arbitrary discrimination in employment because of age, burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce.

(b) It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment....

Every Justice that was passed over for Chief Justice because of their age should file a class action against the Presidents that placed them. As a matter of fact, Justice Ginsberg was openly discriminated against for her age by President Trump stating her mind is shot. It doesn't get anymore obvious than that.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shows the many different collars (jabots) she wears with her robes, in her chambers at the Supreme Court building in Washington, U.S. June 17, 2016.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (click here) has expressed her disappointment with modern-day Supreme Court confirmation hearings, describing them as a "highly partisan show."

During a Wednesday event at George Washington University Law School, the 85-year-old justice was asked how her confirmation compared to Judge Brett Kavanaugh's, President Donald Trump's nominee. "The way it was was right, the way it is is wrong," Ginsburg replied.

In 1993, she won over almost all of the Republican senators despite her progressive work with the American Civil Liberties Union. Former President Bill Clinton nominated Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in June, and two months later, she was confirmed by a vote of 96-3.

In contrast, the confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh have been contentious and embroiled in political debate, as Kavanaugh represents Trump's second nominee to the Supreme Court following Senate Republicans' move to block former President Barack Obama from nominating Merrick Garland in the final months of his tenure....

..."I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back the way it was," Ginsburg said of the confirmation process. She also pointed to the senate confirmation of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia in 1986 as an example of the "truly bipartisan" nature when it came to Supreme Court hearings. "Think of Justice Scalia, who’s certainly a known character," Ginsburg said. "The vote was unanimous."

"That’s the way it should be," she added, "instead of what it’s become, which is a highly-partisan show. The Republicans move in lockstep, and so do the Democrats."...
