"It has long galled feminists that the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals -- which serves seven states, including Minnesota -- is composed of 10 men and only one woman...." ................. Which, of course, merely illustrates the illogic that is so often a part of the "feminist" movement. There is a reason why the statue of Lady Justice is portrayed blindfolded, after all.

Sincere question: The only reason to be upset is because a woman would judge better than a man. Isn't THAT discrimination?? No conversations about which court rulings were wrongly decided against women, just a blanket assertion women would be better. - - - please enlighten me davehoug@comcast.net
