He Promised Change

Looks like Pres. Obama is going to get his first opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court Justice. One of the names being put out there is Kathleen Sullivan. She is an out lesbian and has the impressive credentials. I don't know much about her, but will dig deeper as the story unfolds.

An out lesbian on the Supreme Court. Now, that is change I can believe in. Here is her pic and short bio.


Stanford Law School professor Kathleen Sullivan, widely considered one of America’s top constitutional scholars, is being mentioned as a possible replacement for Supreme Court Justice David Souter, who has announced he will retire at the end of the court’s current term.

Sullivan’s name appears on lists compiled by the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and numerous law blogs. She is the founder and director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center, and served as dean of Stanford Law School from 1999 to 2004.

Sullivan has filed amicus curiae briefs in some of the most important Supreme Court cases involving LGBT rights, including Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas. Source: GayPolitics.com
