Key Republican senators say they wouldn't be opposed to a homosexual taking Justice David Souter's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Hill Wednesday he wouldn't consider homosexuality to be "an automatic disqualification."

Doesn’t want to get involved in a cat fight?
Thinks that a flaming queen on the Court would be his or her own reductio ad absurdam?
Somebody putting the squeeze on Sessions? (Past indescretions?)

I always considered Souter’s seat the “gay seat” anyway.

Alright who pulled the handle to the toilet and let these guys express themselves this way. They need to be brought back home and taught the right way to say and do things.

The most important qualification for the job should be an understanding that the SCOTUS is not there to invent new constitional rights.
Beyond that, who cares about cares if they’re gay?

Souter, being a lifelong bachelor, was an inevitable target of probably baseless innuendo and gossip. But if he is, he’s kept it well in the closet.

Is this the same Sessions that was fired as Director of the FBI the day before Vince Foster was rubbed out?

If Obama were as conscientious about dignified appearance as Bill Clinton, he would not dare nominate a flaming queen. That person would be widely regarded as the clown of the Court.
