re: #267 Gus 802

Right. And look at who helped overturn it or at least place a stay on it for a time to come. A Republican judge and Reagan appointee Vaughn Walker. Of course we all look back now and see that Reagan was almost a progressive Republican compared to this 21st Century revanchist bunch.

The worst thing I saw by far were the attacks on Judge Walker because of his sexuality. I really don’t think you’d see gay marriage supporters complaining the way they did about an openly straight judge and besides knowing the anti gay people, they’d been just fine if the judge deciding the case was a conservative straight Christian with an anti gay record. My gay friend was telling me that it was funny that Judge Walker ended up being the hero since initially his nomination was blocked because it was feared he was anti gay.
