To respond to that, quite quickly and quite frankly, I'm a lawyer, and my competence to be one has nothing to do with my personal preferences of where I may want to move or where I might want to send my children to school. It's totally irrelevant to my abilities and qualifications to perform the job.
Are you trying to make something out of an issue that is not an issue in terms of competence? If it is a matter of competence, you can ask the question, but that is not. Personal preferences and what I might do or not do in terms of raising my family or where I choose to live is totally out of bounds and should not be asked, and I would ask the chair to maintain his ruling.
