Women don't belong in the legal field, full stop. Anyone who's been to law school knows this. Men can at least pretend to be objective and rational.

Before we appear to scorn women, we should recognize the obvious: without women none of us would be here. No one else carried me in her own body, fed me from her breasts and changed my diapers for 18 months. No one.

That said, women instinctively break rules. They want to favor the runt of their litter. They are hard wired to break rules.

That's why in general women should not be army officers or corporate executives.

The very vact that Barrett had adopted 2 Black Haitian children and inflicted them on the children of her own body should have told any sensible person that she is an airhead and should not be a judge.

In law school we learned that there was strong resistence in England to the development of equity. Equity was viewed with suspicion.

I learned this and thought it was nonsense. "For Pete's sake," I thought, "just get on with it."

But in my lifetime as a lawyer I have learned how right our English ancestors were to be cautious and wary about equity.

In our times equity has eaten law. The rules are now of secondary importance to the "feelings" of judges, especially female judges.

Given their hard wiring, women judges are inclined to "go about doing good" (as they see it, very often mistakenly).

Their feelings are what determine their rulings.

We can expect more of this behavior from Justice Barrett.
