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.

No. Although all members of the current US Supreme Court have served on the US Court of Appeals, there is no requirement that they do so, let alone a specification about the number of years.
There are no explicit requirements in the U.S. Constitution for a person to be nominated to become a Supreme Court justice. No age, education, job experience, or citizenship rules exist. In fact, according to the Constitution, a Supreme Court justice does not need to even have a law degree.
There is no specific citizenship requirement outlined in the U.S. Constitution for Supreme Court justices. However, all justices to date have been U.S. citizens. The Constitution only specifies that justices are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, without detailing qualifications regarding citizenship.
The Supreme Court is responsible for determining the constitutionality of laws and wishes of the people of all sorts. One such ruling that the court has found to be unconstitutional is the requirement of posting the Ten Commandments in school classrooms throughout the United States.
The Supreme Court.
Yes. There is no Constitutional requirement that Supreme Court justices be native born, as there is for US President. In the early days of the Court, a number of justices were born in other countries.
