Judge Mary

I love how a gay judge ruling in favor of LGBT rights is considered an "issue," but SWM judges ruling against minorities' rights forever is considered good old-fashioned "jurisprudence." (And by "love" I mean I fucking want to punch someone.)

Via The New York Times:

There were also signs that Judge Walker’s personal life – several published reports have said he is gay -- might become an issue for those opposed to his ruling. Hours before the decision was announced, a commentator on Fox News.com – Gerard Bradley, a professor of law at University of Notre Dame – posted an editorial questioning the judge’s impartiality.

“I do not doubt that Judge Walker made up his mind about Prop 8 before the trail began,” Mr. Bradley wrote.
