Gawker weighs the evidence and concludes that Elana Kagan is lesbian. If true, it certainly is disheartening that in 2010, Ms. Kagan feels the need to cover it up in order to advance professionally.
Previously, attentively reading the President's statements on the matter, I argued that his call for empathetic judges was, in particular, a call for "someone who will discover a constitutional right to Gay Marriage". He also succeeded in meeting his goal of a choice being someone who could create majorities, if not in general, at least in this particular.
If Roe (among others) is any guide, the coming Supreme Court discovery of a constitutional right to Gay Marriage (as opposed to letting the political process play out) rather than settling the issue, will serve, above all, to harden hearts, intensify the political combat and push farther into the future the day when a nominee's sexual orientation is understood to be a non-issue.
