'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And I read somewhere yesterday that there are rumors she's a lesbian, which is going to make the confirmation process verrrrrrrry ugly.
she's been a strong advocate of gay rights, and she's an unmarried, accomplished woman. Of course she's a lesbian. @@
which is going to make the confirmation process verrrrrrrry ugly.
I don't think this is going to come up during the confirmation process.
Not during the actual confirmation hoo-ha, but, as Daisy said, the rhetoric around it? Ain't pretty.
she's been a strong advocate of gay rights, and she's an unmarried, accomplished woman. Of course she's a lesbian.
::looks askance at Vortex in that sexy, ironic way::
I am distressed by how close she is in age to me. It's making me feel severely under-accomplished. That's the Lisa take on the matter.
No. Kidding. Lisa is I. Or I am she.
I am in paperwork hell. Is there a patron saint of paperwork? If there is, I beseech her.
Saint Juan is the patron saint of paper. Maybe he could help you?
Steve Benen pointed out the problem with going after Kagan's "inexperience" by comparing Rehnquist's post-law-school resume with hers:
Here's Rehnquist...
1952-1953: Clerk For Justice Robert Jackson
1953-1969: Private Practice in Phoenix, AZ
1969-1971: Assistant USAG, Office of Legal Counsel
...and here's Kagan.
1986-87: Clerk for Judge Abner Mikva, U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit
1987-88: Clerk for Justice Thurgood Marshall, U.S. Supreme Court
1989-91: Associate in Private Practice, Williams & Connolly
1991-97: Assistant Professor and Professor, University of Chicago Law School (1991-94 as assistant professor)
1995-96: Associate White House Counsel
1997-99: Deputy Assistant to the President, Domestic Policy Council
1999-01: Visiting Professor, Harvard Law School
2001-03: Professor, Harvard Law School
2003-09: Dean of Harvard Law School
2009-10: Solicitor General of the United States
It ain't pretty, but we had it with Sotomayor.
After her confirmation, I hope Kagan gets together with Sotomayor and gets gay married to her!
Oooohhh... patron saint list: [link]
Saint Juan is the patron saint of paper. Maybe he could help you?
prolly not. I need a patron saint of bureaucracy. or filling forms out.
How about a patron saint of shredding?
I love that there is a patron saint of dysfunctional families. ST. Eugene of Mazenod.
And St. Isidore of Seville is patron saint of computers!
I think I'm going to become crazy catholic with the saints.
