:23:00
I hope so. Aren't a man's decisions
influenced by the fact that he's a man?
:23:06
For two centuries, this court has
expressed men's opinions.
:23:09
Perhaps it's time for the majority of the
population to have one voice in nine
:23:12
in the rulings
of the Supreme Court.
:23:17
Is the lady implying
that male justice is perverted?
:23:21
[Skipped item nr. 319]
:23:21
Haven't we outgrown those fears
:23:24
about the periodic instability
of the female of the species?
:23:28
Eggs are not the seeds of insanity.
:23:30
A woman can ovulate
and think at the same time.
:23:33
We're striving to be objective.
:23:36
But, really, what does sex have
to do with being a judge?
:23:41
Somebody with the capacity to
bear children is gifted, not crippled.
:23:46
A uterus is like absolute pitch.
Some people have it, some don't.
:23:52
Well, according to this fact sheet,
:23:54
Judge Loomis has never
had any children.
:23:58
Does the Constitution say a Supreme
Court justice has to be a mother?
:24:04
Judge Loomis, we don't mean
to probe into your personal life.
:24:07
Why not? My entire life is public.
:24:11
The FBI is wrong in reporting to you
I have no children. I have hundreds.
:24:17
We are the parents of our ideas.
:24:21
And so my children,
in other words,
:24:25
my opinions, my decisions
are the result of conception.
:24:30
And the delivery
is sometimes painful.
:24:34
You may not like my children.
You may find them ugly.
:24:37
But, by God, your ideas and mine
have equal rights to live together.
:24:43
To grow, to change, even to die.
:24:52
If there are no further questions,
the committee will consider
:24:55
an executive session of what it will
recommend to the Senate.
:24:58
Thank you, Judge Loomis.
