American Thinker: 'The Feminist Way of Interviewing'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ginsburg agreed to the assertio of unfairness, but laid it to ideology: "There are people in Congress who would criticize severely anyone President Obama nominated."

She then cited Sotomayor's 2001 remark about a "wise Latina" reaching "a better conclusion than a white male" and said, "I thought it was ridiculous for them to make a big deal out of that." Feminists are not concerned when the ox being gored is a white male, any more than a matador thinks twice about putting the blade between the shoulders of a charging bull.

Bazelon eventually brought up the court's overturning of Sotomayor's ruling in the Connecticut firefighter's reverse racism case (Ricci v. DeStefano). Ginsburg's comment was that they picked a "nice guy" who was a "dyslexic firefighter. Which is exactly what you should do as a lawyer." Bazelon agreed, observing, "It's true, it's a very good strategy. He was a very sympathetic plaintiff." As for the merits of the case and whether reverse racism is okay if you don't have such a sympathetic client, well, there was no follow up.

Bazelon moved on to the case of a strip search of a 13-year-old girl, suggesting that the men on the court were largely clueless, to which Ginsburg said, "I think it makes people stop and think, maybe a 13-year-old girl is different from a 13-year-old boy in terms of how humiliating it is to be seen undressed."'
