59, never married, no children... but a Republican. If she was a Democrat there wouldn't be hesitation in concluding that she MUST be a lesbo. But this gal hails from the inner circle of a very right wing president dependant on the hardcore Christian vote, thus the pause. If she's not lesbo, then is she "living in sin" with a man? Is she a Republican Feminist? Does it matter?
Probably not. She's likely a workaholic who has sacrificed having relationships for personal success. I read that she's one of the first people to arrive for work each morning and one of the last to leave. Such dedication with fewer emotional attachments to real world factors might make her the best damn Supreme Court Justice ever. Or it may make her the most bitter and despised, it's a toss up.
It's hard to tell what will happen once she no longer has to kiss any arse. I say that because any woman who goes out to help Bush do yardwork is obviously kissing arse above and beyond the call of mandatory presidential arse kissing for nice favors. And was any of it fake? Sure, but how much? We'll find out if she gets the lifetime appointment.
My prediction if she gets appointed (having never heard her voice or read anything she wrote) is that she's going to make some good decisions and some bad decisions, just like almost every Justice, every lawyer, every human being before her no matter what their political or sexual leanings. Hopefully she'll make more good decisions than bad... as determined by me of course!
