"Sisk said Gorsuch, a visiting professor at Boulder, posed a hypothetical scenario in a Legal Ethics and Professionalism class in April that debated if a married job candidate with student debt should disclose to a potential employer that she wants to start a family.
"He asked the class to raise their hands if they knew of a female who had used a company to get maternity benefits and then left right after having a baby," Sisk wrote.
When only a fraction of the classroom acknowledged such a tactic, Gorsuch scoffed.
"C'mon guys," Gorsuch allegedly replied, adding that more students should have raised their hands.
Sisk claims that Gorsuch said “‘many’ women use their companies for maternity benefits and then leave the company after the baby is born."

geesh

2. Quick! Somebody tell that heartless SOB that maternity leave is UNPAID

All they have to do is hold the job open. Our "compassion" for the job of giving birth to the next generation of citizens and workers is financially devastating to a lot of families.

I guess he's one of those men who grew up being rotten to his mother and now denies she had anything to do with his being here.

3. Raise your hand if you know men (& women) who shop jobs to buff up their resumes?

Hire in with a good titled position, work it for a few months and take advantage of special training or high profile tasks, fork that job into your CV with an adjective rich job description of your accomplishments, even as you're hunting for the next fast track career building paycheck.

What "maternity benefits" is he thinking of... babysit at home without pay? Maybe someone should tell him that women don't have the same programs that are routinely available in the rest of modern world.
