"There is a broad group of Americans who would oppose any woman for any high office."
Thank you, thank you, thank you---that's what I wanted to know. I'm honestly amazed that that's still true---I'm such a non-snobby Northeasterner that I really find that hard to believe about the most of the rest of the country, expecially when we've now had two women on the Court.
In all fairness, there are some Black Muslim women around here who do wear burkha-like things, but I didn't think you were referring to them.
