[Mrs. Don-o]

Elena Kagan's sexual orientiation, gay or straight, is irrelevant, as is her short hair and sometimes menacing look. What we must object to, among other things, is her barring military recruiters from Harvard because she felt that the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy was "a profound wrong -- a moral injustice of the first order." (Link)

If a man were nominated to the Supreme Court who was straight, a husband and father, a member of a Chjristian congregation, a Military veteran, and a good-looking and congenial guy --- but had that same attitude opposing "Don't ask/don't tell" --- I'd oppose him.

If a short-haired scowling apparently-not-heterosexual woman SUPPORTED "Don't ask/don't tell" I might well support her.

What matters is the ideology. And the most dangerous lefty-ideologues are the ones who look like us.

In other words, what a person does in the privacy of their own bedroom is none of our concern?

BS. Total unadulterated BS.

Besides, who here wants a return to DA/DT?

That is unacceptable BS too.
