Can AIG and others sue Goldman Sachs?

The World

If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena Kagan will only be the fourth woman to serve on the bench. Yesterday, we spoke with Lori Ringhand, a professor of law at the University of Georgia about a new study that shows that women and minorities get harsher questioning in hearings. Takeaway listeners had lots to say.

Elle responded on our website, writing:
“Though it’s true that in the questioning there is indeed more grilling, it is not “anti-woman” to do such a thing since it is acknowledging that a woman is more intelligent and judicially capable. A woman is more capable to “take it” and should be held to a higher standard, one that has her proving her intellectual prowess and legal savvy. Males after all, cannot have so much expected of them.”
