Poll shows support for new female justice
Nearly 80 percent like idea of a woman to replace O'Connor

(CNN) -- Nearly 8 out of 10 respondents to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said they liked the idea that a woman replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Thirteen percent said it was "essential" that another woman replace O'Connor, who announced her resignation plans earlier this month; 65 percent said they felt it was a "good idea but not essential."

Nineteen percent said the gender of the next justice doesn't matter to them; 2 percent said it was a "bad idea" for a woman to get the seat; 1 percent had no opinion.

The poll interviewed 1,006 adult Americans via telephone July 7-10. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

1. Well Janice Rogers is busy

Probably a good thing that she was given an appelate court or * might have tried to shove her down our throats for this position. I am sure that he has some evil woman to trot out for the occasion.
