Gay Supreme Court Justice?

I'm watching "Andrea Miller Reports" and she's asking John Thune about his opinion concerning a potential gay Supreme Court Justice. Thune say's (correctly) that we shouldn't select a Justice based on his or her homosexuality and therefore empathy towards gay issues. Miller asked him how he would vote if the selection's homosexuality was "incidental". Well, Thune gave his politically correct answer but I'm sure he was thinking the same thing I was. Do you really think a homosexual pick would be incidental, heck no!! It would be no more incidental than a female hispanic pick. Are people really as gullible as the media treats them. Anyway, if I had a vote I wouldn't vote against anyone based on race, creed, gender, religion, party affiliations or sexual preference just as long as they honestly had no personal agenda when it came to their bench rulings. On the other hand I certainly wouldn't vote for someone hoping they would be empathetic towards my beliefs.
