Someone made Lego versions of the Supreme Court’s female justices

Legos are the ideal toy for acting out imaginary scenarios—like one in which the Supreme Court has gender parity. Now editor and writer Maia Weinstock is doing just that with her Legal Justice League Lego set, which includes all four women who have served on the Supreme Court.

Having previously created a Lego collection based on famous science and tech personalities, Weinstock turned her attention to the legal system, recreating retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and sitting Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan as Lego minifigures. She even poses them in their own courtroom setting. (More photos are available on Weinstock’s website.)

Sadly, however, the Legal Justice League set isn’t for sale. While she did submit the concept to the fan-based Lego Ideas branch, Weinstock explains it was rejected on the basis of the company’s “no politics or political symbols” rule. That means fans will just have to imagine the fun they could have had filling out the ranks of their all-female Supreme Court with Lego Princess Leia, Hermione Granger, Wonder Woman, Elsa, and Arwen.
