For what it's worth, I think he should recuse himself. Joel Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 09:35:18 AM
Suggesting that a gay judge ruling on the legality of gay marriage bans equates to a heterosexual judge hearing a divorce case doesn't track. Maybe to a heterosexual judge who believes marriage is "until death do us part" and strongly opposes divorce, but that view might just prejudice his ruling. You can't have judges ruling on the legality of laws that directly touch their interests; that seems to me a clear CONFLICT of INTEREST. Are we honestly to believe it's never once going to cross his mind that if the law stands it will be illegal for him to marry the partner of his choice?

I am not questioning the judge ability to rule fairly. Roland00 - 11/02/2010 04:21:16 AM 725 Views
I'm betting on 'Uphold', but his orientation probably won't effect the ruling either way Isaac - 11/02/2010 04:16:40 AM 699 Views
Why are you betting on Uphold? Roland00 - 11/02/2010 04:22:03 AM 699 Views

A lot of recusement is about self preservation, I think. Joel - 15/02/2010 01:05:38 PM 717 Views
