Supreme Court justices met with leader of homophobic hate group ahead of judgements on landmark LGBT rights cases
Emma Powys Maurice November 4, 2019


Before announcing their judgement on three critical LGBT+ rights cases, US Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito chose to meet with the leader of a notorious anti-LGBT+ hate group.

Kavanaugh and Alito met with Brian Brown, who is the co-founder of the National Organisation for Marriage (NOM) and the president of the World Congress of Families (WCF).

Both groups actively campaign against basic LGBT+ rights in the US and beyond. Brown himself has long organised against LGBT+ communities, promoted harmful laws and emboldened other hate groups and extremists.

Recently, he boasted of his close relationship with autocratic Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán and met with activists in Tbilisi, Georgia, to praise them as “men of faith” after threats of extreme violence led to Tbilisi Pride being cancelled.

thuglican votes ....

They really need to jam through all of the qualified, left-wing judges that they can find. Just ram them through. thuglicans have put so many of these young WWJD, racist, homophobic, sexist, union-hating asshole judges up there that the court will be impacted horribly for a long while starting very soon, and the ONLY way that "we the people" will have any chance at our inalienable rights at all is to try to counter-balance some of these wacko, Incel judges MoscowMitch has purposely embedded onto the various courts. Don't even ALLOW the so-called left-winged media which there never WAS to try to shame them (Dems) into stopping THEIR stacking of the courts.

I fully expect the Senate to go into to overdrive to fill in all empty spots on the bench before the election, and immediately after, if they get voted out.

Maybe if this nation doesn't do it, then the one that replaces it will.
