Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan are current Supreme Court justices. They are women. Sandra Day O'Connor is a former Supreme Court justice. She is also a woman. There are no constitutional qualifications for Supreme Court Justices. No age requirement, education requirement, or even a citizenship requirement. Never mind a protected class.

As of July 31, 2010, the US Supreme Court has six male justices and two female justices. If Elena Kagan is confirmed to succeed retired Justice John Paul Stevens, the Court will have six men (66.6%) and three women (33.3%). If Kagan is seated, this will be the first time in history three women have been on the Supreme Court bench at the same time.

What is the background of a typical Supreme Court justice?
Historically, Supreme Court justices have typically been white, protestant males from upper-middle to upper class backgrounds. All Supreme Court justices so far have been licensed attorneys, although not all had law degrees, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. This profile is gradually changing. The current Court seats six men and three women; and two justices are considered ethnic minorities for demographic purposes. None of the current justices is protestant: six are Roman Catholic and three are Jewish. Some of the justices come from family backgrounds of modest means.

How many Supreme Court Justices belonged to the ACLU and who are they?
The US Supreme Court first convened in 1790, but the American Civil Liberties Union wasn't founded until 1920, 130 years later. So none of the early justices would have been members. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, a naturalized citizen, was one of the ACLU's founders. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an incumbent on the bench, helped create the organization's Women's Rights Project. Both justices also served as legal counsel for the ACLU. A private organization, the ACLU neither publishes a roster nor releases the names of its members without their consent. Membership has grown from approximately 300,000 in the mid-1990s to almost 500,000 in 2009.
