a former student of judge gorsuch's in an ethics class that he teaches at the university of colorado filed a complaint saying during the class he asked wouldn't it be improper of a company to inquire of women applicants whether they intended to get pregnant so they could know in advance whether they were going to take advantage of the company. what judge gorsuch said it was an example, he was using an ethics textbook that raises just that situation. he said it was something that students have to be prepared that they might confront, they might apply for a job at a law firm and the employer would say, well, of women, are you going to get pregnant? if you say no, you might not be telling the truth. if you say yes, you might be being truthful and getting out -- not getting the job. that it was an ethical problem and that he asked students the raise their hands and say how many of you have been asked this question. not that he was approving it but he was raising it as an ethical dilemma they might face. that was his answer to that student's allegation. you know, several times today, brian
