Supreme Court Judge

[alex_beecroft]

This is what the right-wing says about President Obama considering a GLBT candidate for the Supreme Court.


"[A] gay judge's sexual preference will, without any question whatsoever, 'interfere with their job.' It's not possible for it to be otherwise... We simply should not elevate to the highest court in the land people who are known for engaging in sexually abnormal behavior which would technically make them felons in a quarter of the states over which they will have jurisdiction." -- Bryan Fischer, American Family Association."


This is bullshit. You know it, I know it.

Tell the President to ignore the ranting of religious extremists and pick the next Supreme Court Justice on the basis of ability, not who s/he sleeps with.

I have to warn that once Courage Campaign has your email address, they keep sending you mail (mostly about strictly US issues) and there's no obvious way to unsubscribe. I've now sent them a "please remove me from the mailing list" message, no reply yet.

*g* I haven't had anything yet, but it is a problem you seem to get with most of these things. Still, it keeps me up to date with what's going on in the world, and there's always the spam filter :)
