"Why hasn't she ever gotten married? I don't know the answer to that," said Jerry Clements, a woman who worked with Miers at Locke Liddell & Sapp, the law firm where Miers spent most of her career. "If this was a man, no one would ask that question."

Given the case of Souter, we certainly DO need to ask.

The "Souter" problem, stripped to its essence, is that Souter is GAY. Gay people living in the closet ( a la Souter as a 'confirmed bachelor") have secret lives, secret beliefs. In the context of giving someone a job-for-life of ultimate power, the chance thet someone's closeted views will become their public views, a la Souter, represent a risk that we shouldn't be asked to take again.

Oh good grief...

The MSM is attempting to make inroads in Harlequin's readership?

::sigh:: Whatever thoughts of the nomination, I'd rather this type of article never be penned. It has a taint to it that is not respectful personally to the individuals.
