Unbelievable.

[MadMaddie]

1. These are the same people who scream they want government

out of their personal lives....bastards all of them.

[fishwax]

13. .

:thumbsup:

[tomm2thumbs]

39. only when convenient

and serves their own ends

[Thrill]

2. I bet is Sessions

actually asks her that.

[Dulcinea]

28. And she should reply:

"What's it to you? Wanna go out with me? No, thanks."

[MurrayDelph]

31. Actually, I think her reply, regardless of who asks it, should be

"Senator, I do not believe questions of that nature belong anywhere within these buildings. Wouldn't you agree Senator Graham?"

[AlinPA]

29. He would as well as Kyl, Hatch, Cornyn and Coburn. They will draw straws to see who asks. nt

[YOY]

3. Meh who the fuck give a shit about them? Why is it they always have to put a "family" in their name

Sure as fuck ain't got anything to do with my peeps.

[IntravenousDemilo]

8. It's because "fascist" is too obvious. n/m

[AmericaIsGreat]

18. Because family conjures up happy thoughts

So you don't notice their preaching of hate and intolerance

[IndianaGreen]

4. I don't believe Kagan ever used rentboy.com

as Family Research Council founder George Alan Rekers did.

[scheming daemons]

7. Ironically.. if she DID use rentBOY.com, it would mean she's not gay

Is there a rentgirl.com?

[boppers]

20. Point of fact:

We do not know if she is XX, XY, or XXY (etc.).

We also do not know if her whole body is the same genetic makeup.

I think it's safe to say that Kagan choses to visually identify as a "Woman", so that's a clue about gender, but we don't know what her biological sex is, or what her sexual preferences are.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

Simplifying sex, gender, and sexual preference into a absurdly simple "straight/gay" dichotomy has nothing to do with interpreting Constitutional issues.

[skepticscott]

5. She should just tell them

"I've never hired another woman to carry my luggage". And then refuse to discuss the issue any further.

[dumpdabaggers]

16. I would love it if she said the very first day of hearings.

"I am a gay women." Now that would be interesting watching the far right have a hemerhoid erruption.

[jpak]

6. Did they ask Susan Collins this (stupid fucked up right wing xian) question?

nope

and guess what - NO ONE CARES

[DrToast]

9. It's not like she has any of the warning signs! She's not a conservative, middle-aged white male

[bluestateguy]

10. You know, I have been lukewarm about her nomination to the Court

but this kind of shit makes me more likely to support her 100%.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. I have the same attitude about Obama

He has done several things I don't like but I'm not about to criticize him to anyone on the right.

[Arkana]

11. The AFA can go stuff it up their puckered ass.

It's none of their damn business.

[patrice]

14. These are the same people who want to turn this country over to that idiot whore Palin.

[dumpdabaggers]

15. I guess it is a great fund raising tool for them.

What a bunch of MORONS they are.

[stevenleser]

17. Can we get Jon Stewart to trot out his chorus for AFA and tell them "Go !@#$ yourself?"

Just sayin'/askin'

[roody]

19. Is that one of the Rentboy clients---AFA?

[Democat]

21. Did they ask John Roberts if he was gay?

Of course not.

[boppers]

22. The dude pegged hard on my Gaydar.

He's a family man, and yet has spotless clothes, and immaculate hair and teeth, and he seriously minds his manners.

That being said, I don't think it should matter in a SC justice.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

27. He keeps using the word "fabulous" in his legal opinions (nt)

[Ter]

30. Does he call random women "girlfriend"?

:)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

35. Only Ruth Bader Ginsberg...

And that's just wrong on so many levels.

[and-justice-for-all]

23. AFA is irrelevent...

and who gives a shit if she is or isn't.

[zbdent]

24. shouldn't they be asking why Rush never had any children?

[jmowreader]

32. They know why...

Seriously, dude...if you were a woman married to Rush Limbaugh, would you fuck him?

[zbdent]

34. sure I would ... financially ...

I'd get as much money for my services as a "beard" ...

but never sexually ...

[tomm2thumbs]

40. it's almost too difficult to have sex with rush

you'd have to roll him around in flour and then sit on the wet spot (and pray it isn't his drooling mouth)

egad, let me now attempt to wipe that visual from my damaged brain cells... eeeeugh!

[Bettie]

25. I'm so sick of this crap

Really, who CARES if she's gay or straight?

Honestly, I don't give a rats behind who someone has a relationship with. Gay, straight, whatever, as along as it's not illegal it really doesn't make any difference (by illegal I mean someone who thinks it's OK to have sex with children, as an example).

What matters are her qualifications for the JOB she's being asked to do.

I've never seen any other SCOTUS nominee questioned about their family. People are stupid sometimes.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. LOL! Sure. Fine. But you guys go first...

How many members of your Board of Directors are clients of rentboy.com?

[slackmaster]

33. Fortunately, they have absolutely no say in the confirmation process

That's the Senate's job.

[harry_pothead]

36. Why do they want to know? Did Ms. Kagan hire a rentgirl or something?

[political_Dem]

37. Maybe she should ask if Charlie Crist, Lindsay Graham and Larry Craig are gay.

Maybe that would stop this garbage in its tracks. Republicans always like to be holier than thou. They hate to have their "halos" tinted.

[Skittles]

38. AFA is a bad joke
