are a dime a dozen and frequently get short shrift from the courts at every level. Why? Who knows. Maybe the judge didn't think it was so meaty. Maybe she was sick. Maybe she had a speech scheduled. Maybe she had golf practice. Maybe she made a mistake (judges do make mistakes, you know). I can tell you one thing, going case by case through every decision a juudge has made is a completely pointless exercise, other than for media fodder.

BTW, Supreme Court precedent on gender stereotype/same sex discrimination is garbled to the point of gibberish. There is no such thing as a clear case under the present state of the law.
