Anti: Gay marriage has *nothing* to do with polygamy, multiple partner marriages, or marriage between siblings and first cousins. All it is is two, loving people, who want to get married. End of story.

I followed this pretty thoroughly and do not recall ever seeing any allegation, or even a throw away snide remark, suggesting that Sotomayor is a lesbian.

Oh boy, where do you all live – some alternative universe? There is nothing that suggests that Sotomayor is a lesbian. However, I believe that roughly 60% of lesbians of her age group were married at some point, according to statistics.

‘Kirche’ is not pronounced ‘Kirk’, not even in Plattduetsch or Neder Deutsch. It is pronounced with two syllables “kir-che”, with a soft ‘ch’, as it is after the vowels “i”, and “e” and “u-umlaut” (as in “Kueche”). Take this from someone born in Germany with a degree in Germanistic. Or leave it, of course.

yeah when i first saw her picture i thought she looked like a lesbian and was quite suprised to find out thhat she had actually married…..since then what i have heard her say leads me to believe that she at the very least hates/despises men as well as hates white people, which is a given….so, you nominate a racist man-hater to the supreme court, thats the libs for you…

Oh yawn,

I’m sorry if I didn’t want to rush back out and find the damn slime sites again. Incidentally, since there are a lot of the same tactics used by the Right, don’t bother kvetching just because I don’t want to name every single slime ball Right Winger who wants to make that argument. On the subject of ‘making things up’, please quit with the damn incest arguments. I mean, for crying out loud, they’re moronic. As for polyamory, just wait until some Muslim somewhere sues for that right based upon the First Amendment. Not allowing for multi-partner marriages is a violation of their religious rights. Come to think of it, not recognizing same-sex marriage is ALSO a violation of the first amendment since some religions actually DO believe that gays and lesbians have the right to get married. Those religions are already performing religious ceremonies, some of which are Christian.

Nice going destroying the Constitution.

Becky, I need to correct you in one area. Proposition 8 only defined Marriage as between a Man and a Woman. It did not, aside from what Ted Olson or Jerry Brown thinks, make Gay Marriage Illegal. If Gay Marriage is legal, then Polygomy should be legal, Multiple Partner Marriages should be legal as well as Marriiage between Siblings and First Cousins. All those things are illegal in most States. This isn’t Bigotry, it is common sense. That being said, as a Conservative / Libertarian, I could give a Rat’s Ass what people do to themselves, but I also realize Society cannot function in a free for all with no rules of behavior and continue to function. The problem with all these issues is where do you draw the line without disenfranchising or damaging others. Like everything else in life, it’s complicated.

I love the usual Liberal Straw Man argument brought up here. “Some of the far end of the conservative spectrum”? Really, got a name? My main concern
is her Judicial Activism, her membership in the Race Hate Group La Raza, her bigoted comments against the Evil White Man and her record of cases being overuled by a higher court. Could the fact that she is a Closet Lesbian, if that is the case, affect her personal judgement in rulings or expose her to Blackmail? Is it not an issue because people are so damn P.C. nowadays? Personally, I have no concern with her sexuality. My issues only concern the Court following the Constitution as written, not making up law, I.E. Roe v Wade or letting the Federal Government usurp States Rights as is happening as we speak.
Anyway, have a good debate, but don’t make up stuff just because you hate Conservatives.

Mainly, we conservatives know Sotomayor is a racist.
We know 0bummer gets his pick, but really, must he have chosen an out-and-out-of-the-closet RACIST?

Nathan Syverson,

How is Kirche pronounced?

Kirk.

Another problem is the fact that the woman who passed this along spoke Neder Deutch and not Hoch Deutch. Certain things stick even after four semesters of German. My great-grandmother spoke a form of German which hasn’t been really spoken in Germany since around the 1700’s.

I’m sorry that my WordPerfect like all idiotic American word processing softwear does not acknowledge foreign languages. Incidentally a kirk is also the old spelling for a Church, and does show up primarily in Scottish English.

I am mildly dyslexic/dysgraphic. About the only language where I am actually able to spell without any problems is Japanese.

Ermmm… That’s Kinder, Kirche, Küche. Kirk is a captain of a space ship. Kuchen is dessert. However, point well taken: asserting that women are to tend only to children, Captain Kirk, and baking cakes is no less sexist.

Wow–I hadn’t heard that one–they can get so ignornat and stupid.

But I don’t think the wingnuts need to worry about that one–gay rights is not on Obama’s Supreme Court nominee litmus test. As a professor he taught his constitutional law students that same sex marriage did not have any constitutional ramifications. The president is less enlightened on gay rights that Ted Olson, Bush’s Solicitor General, who is challenging Proposition 8’s constitutionality in federal court.http://tinyurl.com/ku4pv6

“some of the far end of the Conservative spectrum have alleged that Judge Sotomayor is a lesbian”

Who, specifically, are these really, really bad people?
