That's just rude.

This picture contradicts you.

She looks like my uncle and she probably played in the NFL. I've seen much more convincing transgendered people. Shit, that one male/female on Real World was more convincing than this one.


She looks like Will Ferrell's impersonation of Janet Reno on SNL.

hahaha, you're right

ETA: She's never been a judge. Has anyone else on the Supreme Court not been a judge?

Apparently 41 of the 110 had not been judges before being confirmed as justices. That's a pretty good precedent.

And honestly if a non judge is selected, I can't think of somebody better then the SG.

So Elephantwalk...she's an overweight, middle aged woman. So what, you don't want to date her. I don't think she's missing anything! I'd take her accomplishments over your approval anyday!

He'd be barking up the wrong tree. I don't even think he'd be in the right forrest.

I don't get why you're so offended? People can tell she's a lesbian the same way they can tell Clarence Thomas is black.

Yeah that's a pretty good percentage.
