:22:01
It was a tremendous burden on him.
It's probably what killed him.
:22:05
Did you represent
Omnitech International
:22:07
or its chairman, Donald Richards?
:22:10
No, senator.
:22:11
- You're sure about that?
- Quite sure.
:22:14
After you left, is it possible
the firm represented them?
:22:17
I'd have no knowledge of that.
:22:18
Since your husband's death, you've
had no contact with any firm member?
:22:22
None. Oh, that's not quite true.
:22:25
I do play tennis once in a while with
Bill Russell. That's William Russell.
:22:29
He joined the firm
after I went to the bench.
:22:31
You ever discuss legal business
with him?
:22:33
No, senator.
:22:35
Do you think, perhaps, you're a
little too young, Judge Loomis,
:22:39
to take these responsibilities
on yourself?
:22:44
As I recall, Mr. Justice Snow was
a year younger than I am
:22:47
when he was appointed
to the court.
:22:53
Do you feel your decisions on
the high court might be influenced
:22:56
by the fact that,
well, you're a woman?
: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?
