Your father could have disclaimed his inheritance and let it pass equally to your brother's siblings.  From your description, it appears that he received his inheritance and then gifted more to your brother than to you (hopefully paying federal gift tax).  His choice of who to give what is his choice.  If he did not disclaim his inheritance, you have no right to anything.
