how many women reside on the supreme court?

No one resides on the Supreme Court and I think they are no longer any female members of the Court.\n\nYou are right 15, 1933. She married Martin D. Ginsburg in 1954, and has a daughter, Jane, and a son, James. She received her B.A. from Cornell University, attended Harvard Law School, and received her LL.B. from Columbia Law School. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Edmund L. Palmieri, Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, from 1959–1961. From 1961–1963, she was a research associate and then associate director of the Columbia Law School Project on International Procedure. She was a Professor of Law at Rutgers University School of Law from 1963–1972, and Columbia Law School from 1972–1980, and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral\nSciences in Stanford, California from 1977–1978. In 1971, she was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, and served as the ACLU’s General Counsel from 1973–1980, and on the National Board of Directors from 1974–1980. She was appointed a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980. President Clinton nominated her as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and she took her seat August 10, 1993.\n\nYou neo-cons must hate her. She belonged to that commie agency the ACLU!

If you are talking about the senators in the United States of America, the answer is 100. Two from every state.

Women can vote...that's the only one that mattered ;) haha\n\n\nThe Constitution has a total of 27 amendments. Here you go--you asked ;)\n\nFirst Amendment\n\nThe First Amendment addresses the rights of freedom of speech and the press; the right of peaceful assembly; and the right of petition. It also addresses freedom of religion, both in terms of prohibiting the establishment of religion and protecting the right to free exercise of religion.\n[edit]\n\nSecond Amendment\n\n    main article: Second Amendment\n\nThe Second Amendment states, in its entirety, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Compared to other amendments, there is little case law about the Second Amendment.\n[edit]\n\nThird Amendment\n\nThe Third Amendment prohibits the government from using private homes as quarters for soldiers without the consent of the owners. Much as the Second Amendment, there is largely no case law. There has been no Supreme Court case law, and only one odd case, Engblom v. Carey, which has even addressed the Third Amendment.[2]\n[edit]\n\nFourth Amendment\n\nThe Fourth Amendment guards against searches, arrests, and seizures of property without a specific warrant or a "probable cause" to believe a crime has been committed. A general right to privacy has been inferred from this amendment and others by the Supreme Court (See Griswold v. Connecticut), including a right to medical abortion.\n[edit]\n\nFifth through Eighth Amendments\n\nThe next four amendments deal with the system of justice. The fifth forbids trial for a major crime except after indictment by a grand jury; prohibits repeated trials for the same offense after an acquittal (except in certain very limited circumstances); forbids punishment without due process of law; and provides that an accused person may not be compelled to testify against himself (this is also known as "Taking the fifth" or "Pleading the fifth"). This is regarded as the "rights of the accused" amendment. The sixth guarantees a speedy public trial for criminal offenses. It requires trial by a jury (of peers), guarantees the right to legal counsel for the accused, and guarantees that the accused may require witnesses to attend the trial and testify in the presence of the accused. The seventh assures trial by jury in civil cases involving anything valued at more than 20 United States dollars at the time, which is currently worth $300 presently, when accounting for inflation. The eighth forbids excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishment. In 1966 the Supreme Court ruled that the fifth and sixth amendments were to be read to all persons placed under arrest, and as a result these two amendments have become known as the Miranda warning or Miranda rights.\n[edit]\n\nNinth and Tenth Amendments\n\nThe last two of the first ten amendments contain very broad statements of constitutional authority.\n\nThe Ninth Amendment declares that the listing of individual rights in the Bill of Rights is not meant to be comprehensive; that the people have other unenumerated rights not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. The right of privacy has been interpreted as one of these unenumerated rights by many people. The right of the people to keep and bear arms (the protection of which right the Second Amendment prohibits infringement) is also often interpreted as another of these unenumerated rights by many people. [3] Other, pre-existing, non-enumerated rights, besides just these two, continue to exist because of the Ninth Amendment. There is little case law.\n\nThe Tenth Amendment provides that powers the Constitution does not delegate to the United States and does not prohibit the states from having are "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The phrase "or to the people", somewhat puzzling as to its applicabil

None! The Constitution has no provisions on the matter. As to previous poster your refering to the rule for Senators & President. Not the Justices....

(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.

There are nine seats on the United States Supreme Court. You must be nominated by the President of the United States, and confirmed by a majority in the U.S. Senate. Justices are appointed for life (except in cases of retirement or impeachment).\nIt is not necessary for that person to have experience as a judge (George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?ei=UTF-8&fl=0&fr=slv5-&p=harriet+miers+%22supreme+court%22<br />\nis not the first time a non-judge has been nominated), just a solid legal mind. Generally when a President chooses a nominee, he will look for someone whose ideals and worldview match his own. Gerald Ford famously did not make an idealogical choice when he appointed John Paul Stevens (http://www.supremecourthistory.org/04_library/subs_volumes/04_c11_f.html) <br />\nand in subsequent years was rather disappointed at some of Stevens' decisions. \nThere is a lot more information at the official Supreme Court site: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/

I wouldn't say most women.  It's like a lot of things--some do, some don't.

They don't play a role in the Supreme Court, the nine justices ARE the Supreme Court.\n\nThe job of the nine Supreme Court Justices is to interpret the Consitution and laws passed by Congrees (and the states as well).  In reviewing cases, they decide what the law means, and because they are the highest court in the US, you cannot appeal their decision.  They are an equal branch to the Legislature (Congress which passes laws) and the Executive (President which enforced the laws) of our Federal Government.  \n\nWith any law, there is always "grey areas" about what the law intended to do and how it is actually being used.  The Supreme Court rules on those questions like "When can the police search your car under the fourth amendment?" and "Does the President have the right to refuse to give Congress certain documents?"

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.

Women, in government? Let's face it unless a government has a 50-50 split of men and women in office, this question can't really be answered ,as the major players in the major departments have the most say, and that will forever be the case.

There are nine justices in total, the Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices.  The court does not need back-up because it can issue decisions without input from all of the justices if necessary.
