At the moment, on Google Trends, Obama's Supreme Court justice nominee Elena Kagan's name appears twice in the top twenty searches. The second time it appears, the term is "kagan supreme court." The first? "elena kagan personal life." Well.
For a while until today, in fact we'd been wondering if we'd sounded the alarm bell too soon about the whole "Is or isn't Elena Kagan gay?" story line. After all, no major politicians have come out and asked the question, or even raised it as a point. But after Obama's announcement today that Kagan is, in fact, the real-deal nominee, the Internet media has gotten in a tizzy over the issue.
The American Progress blog TAPPED wonders whether it matters if Kagan is gay or not. Emily Bazelon and Dahlia Lithwick say as long as there is no reported evidence, and since the White House has said she's not gay, we should stop asking the question. Andrew Sullivan says the question should be put directly to Kagan and she should answer honestly she owes it to us to provide evidence either way. "It is no more of an empirical question than whether she is Jewish," he says. "Since the issue of this tiny minority and the right of the huge majority to determine its rights and equality is a live issue for the court in the next generation, and since it would be bizarre to argue that a Justice's sexual orientation will not in some way affect his or her judgment of the issue, it is only logical that this question should be clarified."

Forget the lesbian thing. Ask her if she is a heterosexual.
The get her illegal alien maid yet and her “roommates” taxes?
I think the country had better start worrying about the fact that she is TOTALLY INCOMPETENT and a radical liberal, anti-constitutionalist, that is about two inches away from receiving a lifetime appointment to our SCOTUS.
THAT is what is important.
Is she now or has she ever been a member of the communist party?
Yet another 0bama lie.
Of course she's gay. It's not even a secret amongst her associates. She has a “girlfriend” for crying out loud!
Just another way for the Democrats to change the subject in the (admittedly unlikely) event that Republicans find a way to stop her.
I would take a socially conservative lesbican if there was one to be found.
She's a Democrat. Isn't that the same thing?
She was dean of the most politically correct, DNC funding, education system in the country.
A dem would think she is the GOP’s Bob Dole.
Unknown, unliked and untrusted by 90% of them
At this point I would settle for an answer to "Is it a she or isn't it a she."
Here it is, you decide:
I'd just ask any guy reading this thread (don't know if you're a guy or not)..."can you imagine being desperate enough to want to get within 10 feet of her?" That look of hers is deliberate.Anyone willing to open their eyes knows what it means.*I* know...but then I'm from Massachusetts and regularly get to Boston...Cambridge...Brookline.
Just another attempt by Obama to gross the nation out.
They should toss her in a locked room with Barney Frank and let them settle it once and for all.
- Or-
He is getting ready for the next season of SNL!
Yep — could go either way...
