#2 I really don't care about her personal life. I care about her position on interpreting the Constitution; I fully expect she would be yet another liberal 'revisionist', and as such I would not want her on the Court. ANY Zero appointee would be similarly revisionist though. But if this one 'comes out of her closet' she would be uncriticizable, as a member of a victim group.

#3 Wouldn't shock me if the people behind the "whisper campaign" weren't advocates of a competing (and equally "liberal") potential nominee.

#4 If she were a libertarian lesbian then all would be fine.

#5 I also could care less about her sexual orientation, whatever it might be. Like Glenmore, I'd prefer her not to be on the court because of her judicial philosophy. But the odds are that Bambi isn't going to nominate a conservative or even middle of the road type legal scholar. Kagan is pretty smart and has shown herself to be a little flexible. If she's run out of town the next nominee might be pretty darned scary. Just saying.

#6 I really don't care about her personal life. I care about her position on interpreting the Constitution

Ditto to that.

#7 What Steve said. Barry could do a lot worse and probably will

#9 The big concern is that if she was homosexual, that the Democrats are trying to further Balkanize the SCOTUS, by declaring this in future to be the "homosexual" chair.

They obviously have an agenda item to make the SCOTUS a "liberal rainbow court", ignoring any constitutional purpose other than to advance leftism. This was first seen in justice Thurgood Marshal, who proved himself utterly incapable of the job.

#10 All I care about the SC nominee is that they narrowly interpret the constitution based on it's content rather than in light of international law, feelings, empathy, or the phase of the moon.

Will Obama choose someone like that? Not a snowball's chance in hell.
