Yes, he will. Who are you kidding? His entire stance so far is that SCOTUS needs to be more "diversified" and that women are "underrepresented" on the bench. It would be a shock if he didn't pick a woman.
Anywho, this isn't about "conformity". The court isn't supposed to be a bunch of "free thinkers", whatever the hell that means. They're supposed to be a panel of judges who know the law and make sure that the law is in-line with the Constitution absent their own personal biases. If Obama wants to pick a woman with extensive knowledge of the law, fine. But Obama is talking about picking persons with little to no real experience with the law and based on their race and/or gender and some people actually think that's a good idea? I mean, really?
I weep for the future.
