“Indeed! And he must have a lot of respect for the lifestyle, since he appointed an openly gay judge to the bench in MA.”
So if a judge is a constructionalist and happens to be gay, that disqualifies him/her from the bench? Personally I would take a gay constructionalist judge over a straight liberal judge any day of the week.
As has been stated already, it’s a matter of judgment. A Judge, especially is expected to believe and live, with exceptional judgment. Someone who practices homosexual behavior lacks sound judgment. That is just the plain truth. As for as you "either or" scenario, it should never be a choice in the first place.

Your dancing on the head of a pin aside, the judge Romney appointed was a left-wing homosexual activist from the board of the Gay & Lesbian Bar Association who had been active in promoting homosexual “marriage” in Mass.
