"Why would any thinking person assume that a gay nominee is necessarily someone on the ideological fringe?"

From Steve Benen's post on GOP Chief Deputy Whip John Thune's statement that a prospective gay nominee to the Supreme Court woud be too polarizing:

I don't expect much from Thune, but I have to wonder if he realizes how incredibly ridiculous this is ....

Why would any thinking person assume that a gay nominee is necessarily someone on the ideological fringe?
Geez, I don't know ... why would anyone?

Yeah. Who the hell would assume that the angry left has any influence over a prominent judge who may be gay?

Then again, like Justice Thomas, if you're a minority and a conservative, you aren't really a minority.
