[Avodah] Judge Willner

[Ben Waxman via Avodah]

Does Judge Yael Willner's (an Orthodox woman who is a scion of rabbinic 
families. Further, were anyone today to participate in settlement 
activities similar to what Judge Willner did in her youth, that person 
would be labeled as being a right wing messianic extremist) appointment 
in any way pose a question to those who oppose women rabbis because of 
serarah? Her powers as a SC judge are, IMO, about 1000 times greater 
than any dayan or even the Rav HaRashi; forget a shul rav.

Is this even a question or do people simply say "That is the secular 
world, this is the Torah world, and even if we applaud her appointment 
(which many do), it has no bearing what so ever on how we look at the 
question of women and Torah"?
