NOM Rides The Prop 8 Waaahbulance

NOM is crying crying crying about today's Prop 8 hearing at the Ninth Circuit Court.

"This hearing makes a mockery of the federal judiciary," said Brian Brown, president of NOM. "Citizens are entitled to a guarantee of impartiality from their judiciary. Yet here we have the spectacle of a federal appeals court justice ruling on a case in which his wife represents a group that is a participant. A cynic would be left to wonder if the fix is in for marriage in the Ninth Circuit."

"The long road to determine the constitutionality of Proposition 8 cannot be allowed to go through the courtroom of a Judge whose wife is a key participant in that case," said Brown. "It's obvious that Reinhardt will vote to overturn Prop 8. We can only hope that once this case reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, that the people of California will finally get an impartial day in court. When they do, we are confident that marriage as the union of one man and one woman will be vindicated."

1. That's reassuring. They seem a lot more sure about the outcome than I am. n/t

2. And Judge N. Randy Smith is a Mormon

should he recuse himself, too?

3. The list of people who should recuse themselves is long

Anyone who subscribes to a western religion (but especially Catholics who face excommunication if they don't follow propaganda errrr doctrine),
Married people,
people who want to be married,
people who have parents who were married,
need I go on?

If impartiality is the demand, let's make certain that all the judges are utterly impartial.

4. Robot judges

5. And don't forget heterosexuals and LGBTetceteras.

They all have a dog in this fight.

Only a never-to-be-marrued asexual atheist can rule impartially.
