I don't think a person's sexual orientation makes one bit of difference to their ability to do their job. I can see Andrew Sullivan's argument that where Supreme Court nominees are coming from may influence how they vote. But I believe that there needs to be come boundary drawn that distinguishes what should be aired in public for these nominees and what should be private. Do we question known heterosexual nominees, to find out if they're into porn or have some weird fetish? Seems to me that a person's personal life should be left as just that - personal.
