Is Obama's Supreme Court appointee's sexuality an issue?
 

Is Obama's new Supreme Court appointee gay?
Does it matter?
If it doesn't; why all the secrecy?
What do you think?

Here's a story by Andrew Sullivan, the same man who made Sarah Palin's life miserable by investigating her son Trig's parentage; so he no rightie.

It matters, only if sfe is an activist.

If Barney Frank can continue to get re-elected then
 

why would it matter about Kagan?
To each his/her own....for their private (no pun intended) choice(s)....as well as each to their own opinion about it.

OK; but then why all the secrecy?

This is the hardest part about a smear....has she been asked directly, if so how has she answered? I really don't know because I haven't researched this but it makes no never mind to me. But 1 blogger started this, true or not, and now Why all the secrecy?

It has been said that "A lie is half way around the world before the truth has time to put its shoes on."

Why do you classify the question as a "smear".

I think it matters significantly. The Supreme Court will be called on to make decisions on same-sex marriages. The court needs to look at this with clear heads and not be influenced by a member with an agenda.

There is not much to go on that her "sexuality" has influenced her work in any way.
 

I doubt if the SCOTUS justices being heterosexual influence their decisions in any way. Why should it be any different for a gay/lesbian justice unless as some other poster wrote-- an activist is involved? Kagan does not show up in any gay/lesbian activist searches that I have seen.

I do question her ability to get past Obama's shadow as she seems so much of an Obama political player.

Once she is on the bench the shackles will be removed and sexual identity will be moot. She is activist orientated as when she went after the military for their "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policies.
Obama, who has little , if any, private sector experience, always has a political agenda. He did not pick her name out of a hat.

While I don't consider someone's sexuality any problem....historically accusing someone of being gay or outing them has been a blood sport. But I think you probably know that. Most of that is changing as the younger generations start to take over.

What was the purpose of the blogger posting that Kagen was gay? Why did you ask if it was important but why did you speculate about the "secrecy"?

If she isn't then it isn't a secret!

Aren't there more important issues at stake than someone's sexuality?

Well, maybe to you or maybe to me, there are more important issues but to millions of people it is definitely a big deal. I am not going to delve into people's beliefs or people's religion, but that is just a fact of life.

OK; let's get it in the open. Donna is trying to answer this and as usual I mostly agree with her take on an issue, but what intriguing me is that when a fact is hidden it is usually for a reason.
Reporters are now trying to determine her sexuality because it is not evident. Mayor Koch in NY went through the same scenario.

I just think that a Supreme Court Justice that is going to be deciding issues that will impact the American people for generations should not be concealing anything. We have a right to know every aspect of this person.
If anything is being concealed about a candidate I suspect a hidden agenda that would be revealed if that secret came out.

What is this hidden agenda? I don't want to find out too late to do anything about it, but that's probably going to happen.

I heard today that the Obama regime is not going to divulge her sexual preferences because they are baiting the republicans.

They are waiting patiently for the republicans to say something or out her about her preferences so that Obama can pounce on that and gain sympathy for her to make the confirmation process easier for her.

Baiting is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Hopefully the Republicans will not fall for it.

Hey, isn't this the transparent president. The one who said everything will be done in the open. If you believe that I have some swamp land for sale. LOL
