Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American political leader who used her stature as First Lady of the United States, from 1933 to 1945 to promote the New Deal of her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as Civil Rights. After his death she built a career, as author and speaker, as a proponent of the New Deal Coalition and spokesperson for human rights. She was a First-wave feminist (although she opposed the Equal Rights Amendment) and created a new role model for First Lady.

Condeleesa Rice can run for President and it could be more interesting if the opponent is Hillary Clinton.  Then, the US will have a woman as President for the first time.

Supreme Court justices are appointed to the high court for their personal views. Are they pro-life or not? Are they strict constructionalists? Where do they stand on the separation between church and state, between the federal gov't and the states.\n\nWhy do you think Supreme Court appointments were a major issue during the last presidential election?  Because a justice's personal views MATTER -- and this isn't something that became an issue in the last 8 years.  It's always been an issue since Marberry v. Madison.

Education in the USA has changed dramatically over the last few hundred years. The national system of formal education in the United States developed in the 19th century. Jefferson was the first American leader to suggest creating a public school system. Girls were not admitted in schools until many years after the establishment of schools, and even then, they were not taught the same subjects as boys. Since the 1950s, public policy toward education has addressed discrimination issues in education. Prominent women educators who have contributed significantly include Catharine Esther Beecher, Emma Willard, Mary Lyon, Jane Addams, Susan Anthony, Mrs. Carl Schurz, and Mary McLeod. They established higher-level institutions for women and offered subjects that earlier educators deemed unnecessary for women. The first coeducational college was Oberlin College (founded in 1833), the first enduring all-women's college was Vassar College (1861), and the first graduate school for women was at Bryn Mawr College (1880). \n\nhttp://www.servintfree.net/~aidmn-ejournal/publications/2001-11/PublicEducationInTheUnitedStates.html

Tuesday, May 23, 2006\nMS. ATTORNEY DAY\n\nArabella Mansfield Believe it or not, women weren’t always allowed to become attorneys in the United States. The gavel was pounded for the first time when Belle Aurelia Babb was born on this day in 1846.\n\nIt took some 23 years, but Belle, who later changed her name to Arabella Mansfield, became the first woman admitted to the legal profession in the U.S. A teacher at Ohio Wesleyan college, Mansfield took the bar exam and passed. The legal beagles who tested her gave Arabella a passing grade saying, “...she gave the very best rebuke possible to the imputation that ladies cannot qualify for the practice of law.”\n\nMs. Mansfield took her law degree and put it away somewhere. You see, she never did practice law. Instead she became one of the first female college professors and administrators in the U.S. as the dean of the schools of art and music at DePauw University. She also helped found the Iowa Woman Suffrage Society.\n\nJust knowing that she could become an attorney was enough for Ms. Mansfield. Women attorneys throughout the U.S. - all rise.

(taken directly from Wikipedia; words within < > are linked under sources):\n\nThe Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court; instead, Congress has the power to fix the number of Justices. Originally, the total number of Justices was set at six by the <Judiciary Act of 1789>. As the country grew geographically, the number of Justices steadily increased. The court was expanded to seven members in 1807, nine in 1837 and ten in 1863. \n\nIn 1866, however, Congress wished to deny President Andrew Johnson any Supreme Court appointments, and therefore passed the <Judicial Circuits Act>, which provided that the next three Justices to retire would not be replaced; thus, the size of the Court would eventually reach seven by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. By the <Circuit Judges Act of 1869>, the number of Justices was again set at nine (the Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices), where it has remained ever since. \n\nINTERESTING NOTE: President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court (see Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937); his plan would have allowed the President to appoint one new, additional justice for every justice who reached the age of seventy but did not retire from the bench, until the Court reached a maximum size of fifteen justices. Ostensibly, this was to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges, but it was widely believed that the President's actual purpose was to add Justices who would favor his New Deal policies, which had been regularly ruled unconstitutional by the Court. The plan failed in Congress and the court changed course (see the switch in time that saved nine). In any case, Roosevelt's long tenure in the White House allowed him to appoint a large number of Justices.

Article 3 of the Constitution determines there is to be a Supreme Court, however, it leaves the number of justices up to Congress.  The Judiciary Act of the 1789 created one Chief Justice and 5 Associates, then was gradually increased to a total of 10 in 1863.  Andrew Johnson's administration reduced the number to 7 as vacancies occured, though it never fell to less than 8.  Congress made the number 9 in 1948\n\nSo, in short, yes there was a time there were more than 9 justices.
