Considering the wight and importance of what a Superior Court judge does, people with emotional and mental disorders really don't belong there.
I don't think it's unreasonable for us to want normal, stable people as judges.
Good grief.
What you said...ditto
I have to agree.
I work with a gentleman who is wonderful at his job, delightful to be around, has a Bush '04 sticker on the back window of his car, is reliable and trustworthy and is the finest employee with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. He's about as "normal" a person as I have ever met.
And he has been with the same partner (male) for the past 31 years.
They go to church every Sunday morning without fail, with their 2 kids, who they adopted ...a boy and a girl, who are "normal", well-adjusted kids who study hard, have excellent grades and our proud as can be of their parents, who they refer to as "Dad" and "Dad".
He thinks that gay marriage is a non-issue, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that the gay community has no right to expect society to re-define "marriage" to suit them, especially when the leaders of the gay community behave like "neanderthals" (his word).
They did hold a commitment ceremony, which both sets of parents attended and sat with their grandchildren, of whon they are justifiably very proud.
This is a normal, well-adjusted family where the parents just happen to be gay.
What in Heavens name is "normal"?
so let's put ALL judges through your very own, sanctioned, psychoanalytical tests before they can be judges. brilliant!
sheesh.
I assume it's your definition of "normal" that must be used?
If I had a case before a judge - I don't think what the judge does in bed would have much bearing on my case.
Do you ask your judge if they indulge in oral sex before you'll let them hear your case? To many - that would be considered a "disorder". To some, anything other than the missionary position for reasons of procreation is "not right". Do we determine our judges on that criteria?
If not, why not?
I've never understood why some folks get so worked up over somebody else's taste in sex. Do you care about their taste in food? Both sex and food are bodily functions - they both have people who have different tastes. Why is taste in sex so much more important than taste in sex?
