I really do enjoy Joseph’s posts as he makes Antonin Scalia appear liberal (even Scalia had his soft spot for search and seizure issues) and it does entertain me that people exist whose opinions on every issue can be predicted with such certainty.
To me, this question is pretty funny as it is one that everyone should agree on, and my guess is, even Joseph is just having a little fun.
Even if I take for granted (and I do) that it is probably better for at least one parent to remain home with the children, and (without necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with this next premise)that it is better for that spouse to be the mom, as evidenced by Torah values and most societies, the question asks if women should be allowed to vote?
Under what possible theory should they not be allowed to vote (by absentee ballot placing their decision in the mail to avoid some other issues) in the secular government that governs them?. Even Joseph has not provided a reason for that (except America’s founding fathers, who also were slave holders, etc…). And I don’t see that there is one.
