The most likely reason the justices ruled as they did in JEB v. Alabama ex rel. T.B. (1994) is that peremptory challenges on the basis of gender were a violation of the Sixth Amendment. This case involved the issue of gender-based peremptory challenges, where prosecutors had used their peremptory challenges to exclude most men from the jury pool in a child support dispute. The Supreme Court ruled that this practice violated the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a jury selection that is not discriminatory based on gender.
