    As I posted on the previous thread, from the GOS

    There were few surprises in the voting. Republicans voting yes were Collins, Graham, Gregg, Lugar, and Snowe. Ben Nelson voted no. She was confirmed with a larger margin than Alito, who was confirmed 58 to 42, and Thomas, who was confirmed 52 to 48, but with fewer votes than the remaining justices, a reflection of the heightened and toxic political environment this election year.

    With all the previous Republican SC appointees, I doubt that she is the first on who is gay…

    Kagan won’t even be the first gay Justice on the current court, if the rumors about John Roberts are correct.

    @Anne Laurie:

    if the rumors about John Roberts are correct.

    See, this is why it’s always a mistake to skip BJ. I’d never have even heard that rumor but for this thread. Never have gotten turned on to the Discworld novels, but that’s something else again.

    well, great even if you aren’t gay but see no reason to deny people basic human rights.

    also, now that she is confirmed, can we stop hearing speculation about her sex life? please?

    I think the Whitehouse machine (the Regime as Limbaugh calls it) failed in its story line with this. Instead of saying “she’s not gay” as if it was a bad thing. They should have said “we have not discussed Ms. Kagan’s sexual orientation as it completely irrelevant to her ability to serve on SCOTUS, we nominated her because of her legal knowledge not her social life” or some such thing. I was a tad disappointed that they just knee jerked the “no she isn’t” bullshit as if it would make the slightest bit of difference if she was.
