Dear Senator,
In 1981 President Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, honoring his pledge to nominate a woman if given the opportunity.
If you review Justice O'Connor's work experience you will find that upon completing her law degree at Stanford, she was unable to find a job in a law firm. One firm offered her the position of secretary. This was in 1952.
President Bush, speaking about his choice for the Supreme Court, said in September, 2005, "I will pick a person who can do the job. But I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country."
Now you are being asked to consider Judge O'Connor's replacement, Judge Samuel Alito.
