And in any case, who cares? What does it have to do with her ability to perform as a supreme court justice? How come all of these people who are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo concerned about her ability to properly make legal decisions are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo caught up on something that is hardly even tangentially related to her ability to hand out quality legal decisions? You'd think they'd pay attention to her actual legal decisions, because, you know, they indicate how she might actually perform after she is confirmed as a supreme court justice.

This issue is little more than cud for the cows who love nothing more than sit in their fields, eat what is given to them, and watch the world pass them by.
