the most ludicrous aspect was that the rumors swirling around Souter’s sexuality didn’t prompt any such prospects of him stepping down. in the extremely unlikely event that Roberts did turn out to be gay, why would it necessitate stepping down? i live in the DC area and i am a lawyer active in the legal community here, have NEVER heard rumors of Roberts being gay. sounds like wishful lib thinking to me.
It wouldn't. But mindful that the "stepping down" rumor was at a homosexual-oriented website, and that Roberts recently ruled on a homosexual marriage case, and taking the old rumor, I simply speculated that the time was "ripe" for starting an unfounded rumor with the rationale for stepping down being somehow related to being a homo.

First I heard of it was in the immediate aftermath of this weeks DC homosexual marriage ruling. I don't get out much ;-)
