A sense of confidence in the courts is essential to maintain the fabric of ordered liberty for a free people and three things could destroy that confidence and do incalculable damage to society

“A sense of confidence in the courts is essential to maintain the fabric of ordered liberty for a free people and three things could destroy that confidence and do incalculable damage to society: that people come to believe that inefficiency and delay will drain even a just judgment of its value; that people who have long been exploited in the smaller transactions of daily life come to believe that courts cannot vindicate their legal rights from fraud and over-reaching; that people come to believe the law – in the larger sense – cannot fulfill its primary function to protect them and their families in their homes, at their work, and on the public streets.”  Chief Justice Warren E.

Elena Kagan not gay says White House, but is there something wrong with it if she is?

The headline:

“White House complains about CBS News [Washington Post] blog post saying that possible Supreme Court nominee is gay.”

So, my question is, what is wrong with being gay?  Does the White House have a problem if she is gay?  Is there anyone except the White House who cares?
