Speculation continues to swirl about the sexual preference of likely Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. She is apparently out to her friends and others in her academic and social circles, but not out to the public at large.
The White House has flatly stated that she is not gay, which could prove a tad embarrassing if the open secret of her lesbianism is confirmed at some point. If she's a lesbian, it is going to become public knowledge, and the White House will simply have some more egg on its already yoke-splattered face.
Elena Kagan, if nominated today, will be forced to face the press. She cannot be kept closeted not only from the public but from the inquiring minds of the media. They have a solemn responsibility to do one thing: ask her directly and openly and in front of the American people: Are you a lesbian?
A refusal to answer is a tacit admission of guilt. But she may not be able publicly to deny she's a lesbian, likely because it's true. She may not be able to admit it either, because it could cost her a Supreme Court post. So she's likely to refuse to answer the question at all, and the only plausible explanation for her evasion would be because rumors of her lesbianism aren't rumors at all but based in fact.
Think about it for a minute. If you were falsely accused of engaging in sexually aberrant behavior, would you waste a single minute challenging such a scurrilous rumor?
Even lesbian websites are agreeing with me about the importance of Ms. Kagan declaring herself on this matter. For instance, from LezGetReal, "A Gay Girl's View on The World:"
"If she is not a lesbian, she needs to come out and say it, and put to rest the rumours and concerns. If she is gay, I believe she needs to say that too, and quickly. While being gay is not a shameful thing, being chased out of the closet can certainly make a person appear weak and lacking in integrity."
I expect the White House is in full lockdown mode this morning, trying to figure out how to finesse the subject of her sexual preference, exploring all the possible scenarios - including the one that they told a flat-out lie when they said she was straight - and counting on a morally benumbed America to give them a pass on an important moral question.
One qualification for public office is personal character, and nothing speaks to character more than the choices one makes when it comes to sexual conduct. Bill Clinton convinced an entire generation of America's youth that oral sex isn't really sex, and as a result we've seen an explosion among millenials in cancers of the throat and head caused by the HPV virus, which is spread through oral-genital contact.
It's time we got over the myth that what a public servant does in his private life is of no consequence. We cannot afford to have another sexually abnormal individual in a position of important civic responsibility, especially when that individual could become one of nine votes in an out of control oligarchy that constantly usurps constitutional prerogatives to unethically and illegally legislate for 300 million Americans.
The stakes are too high. Social conservatives must rise up as one and say no lesbian is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. Will they?
Some caller had the audacity to ask Suze Orman this question on her talk show, and she answered with amazing truthfulness and matter-of-factness. How come it’s good enough for talk radio but not for the nation’s highest court?
Fornication is biblical. Obama will say separation of church and state. Just as he used the Constitution this morning as if it was a document he cared about.
I am sure that attacking her on the Lesbian issue would be very productive.
Hey, 0bagger, what's "wrong" with being a Lesbian?
Have you checked with your Paki boyfriend or Sinclare lately?
What we have is separation of character & state.
I am sure that attacking her on the Lesbian issue would be very productive.
BAAAAaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaa ...
I like Kagen’s costume. Does Obama choose the uglies so they follow his rule? “Oh Obama, you are such a god to me.”
My theory. They were all bullied mercilessly for being liberal, ugly and weird. Now they get a political office and get their revenge. Think Gibbsy.
I don’t think it is right to ask her if she is a lesbian. Just ask here if she is heterosexual.
Frankly she is a distraction,while people speculate on her bedroom habits many things will go under the radar.
Its a double win for obama, a lesbian on the court and months of passing legislation, that no one pays attention too.
“Don’t forget that as dean of Harvard’s law school she banned military recruiters because she considered the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy’ bigoted.”
Senator Jeff Sessions made an important point on the news. Over 1000 soldiers died in combat overseas while Kagan was banning recruiters. Her anti-military, pro-homosexual agenda is despicable.
I can only answer that by "Look at what Brown did to California." Closeted gay to the public and because he demanded privacy his ultra liberal agenda was never revealed as governor. As AG now he refused to uphold the people's vote in court on Prop 8.
“LSD is also illegal...”
and ...? Sodomy is strictly prohibited by the UCMJ. It was also illegal in much of the USA until a few years ago. Hmmmm ... why is that?
The stupidity of the Obama administration never ceases to amaze me ... they should have realized that they have now made it an acceptable "issue", as it goes to the truthfulness of the WH and the nominee.
Although I respect others who feel differently, and while conceding that "character" is a fair criterion, I couldn't care less who she sleeps with ... I care about her intelligence, knowledge of the law, experience, and a willingness to grapple, in a reasoned way, with issues of huge national importance. She seems to be a knee-jerk liberal with no intellectual curiosity. Anywho who has written so little about the law does not have the passion for the law and for INTELLIGENT argument has no place on the Supreme Court.
Good point.
When I first saw her picture, I thought Obama nominated Chastity Bono to the Supreme Court.
Of course the White house flatly denies Kagen is gay.
Muslims behead, stone or kill gays. Obama will have to say he had no idea to muslim buddies.
"If she isn't a lesbian, it is a terrible waste of ugly."
“When I first saw her picture, I thought Obama nominated Chastity Bono to the Supreme Court.”
ROTFLMAO!
