No one's mentioned her unspoken diversity factor...

only because she doesn't speak it

I imagine it was in Obama's mind. It makes a difference in what otherwise seems like too safe of a choice. It's a historic nomination, although only if she eventually comes out. I'm sure there were closeted justices before.

Nobody has ever really said anything on that subject about his appointment of Napolitano to the Cabinet...

Think of the salience of gay rights to the Supreme Court's future docket as opposed to whatever DHS does.

If Kagan is confirmed then Washington governor Christine Gregoire is the favorite to replace her as Solicitor General, in which case there will be a special gubernatorial election in November.

What are the chances that someone is floating this rumor to keep Rossi from jumping into the Senate race?
