If Elena Kagan was not a woman, she may not be sitting on the country's highest judicial bench, the Supreme Court justice told an audience at the University of Tennessee on Friday.
The candid statement came early in an hourlong conversation-style presentation Kagan held Friday in the Cox Auditorium in the Alumni Memorial Building, where she also discussed the strategy of deciding the country's top cases and her affinity for hunting with fellow Justice Antonin Scalia.
While seated in padded armchairs on stage, Kagan told UT Law Dean Doug Blaze that being a woman in the courtroom comes with some difficulties, but it also comes with opportunities.
"Every woman knows there are some difficulties one confronts that a man might not have to, but nowhere near what my predecessors did," she said. "And to tell you the truth, there were also things I got because I was a woman. I'm not sure I'd be sitting here, I'm not sure I would have been President (Barack) Obama's nominee if I were not a woman and if he wasn't as committed as he was to ensuring there was diversity on the Supreme Court."

She is just another Affirmative American lowering the curve.

No it’s more sinister than that. She sits on the Supreme Court and will make decisions based on what she thinks is fair—not what is in the Constitution. Testicular ownership will be her primary guage for fairness in the universe.
I don’t think she has ever announced her preference.
It helped her get girls, too.
Thanks don-o.
Otherwise, it was be a phallusy to bill herself as a “wise latina”.
She got the job because of her lady parts.

That is why she is on the supreme court. It was her job to see that ObamaCare was upheld as constitutional.
What happened to Roberts, we may never know.
Then what is the basis for people calling her a lesbian?
