The judge didn't politicize it, nor did he take it to the media. That little job was done by Ms. Clark's lawyers -- which (as noted above) is a big reason why I do not trust anything they say about this case.

I was attempting to keep our comments to what we know about the ruling. The judge used the term "homophobic." That is a meaningless political term. It is certainly not a legal term. Therefore, the judge politicized his ruling - i.e. he made it a political one not a legal one.

Shalom.

I disagree. What we do know of the case is that it is very acrimonious, and that the Judge defended his ruling on the basis of allowing "joint parenting" to continue. I think we can safely read between the lines to conclude that Ms. Clark's "Christian teaching" is of a sort that uses something like Romans 1 -- not to teach her about homosexuality, but instead to turn the little girl against Ms. McLeod.
