Irate Prop. 8 backers say gay judge not impartial
Sacramento Bee ^ | 8/6/10 | Peter Hehct

Posted on 08/06/2010 8:01:09 AM PDT by SmithL

After Vaughn Walker was nominated for the federal court in 1987, gay activists took issue with his role as a lawyer for the U.S. Olympic Committee who successfully sued to bar a San Francisco sports festival from calling itself the "Gay Olympics."

After Walker issued a landmark ruling Wednesday that overturned California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage, his detractors took issue with the fact that the judge is gay.

As the topic stoked Internet and talk radio chatter, some blasts aimed at the presiding judge of the U.S. District Court of Northern California in San Francisco were direct and personal.

"Judge Walker should have recused himself from this case since he is a practicing homosexual," wrote Bryan Fischer of the American Families Association. He added: "His own personal sexual proclivities utterly compromised his ability to make an impartial ruling in this case."

Some religious conservatives began calling for Walker to recuse himself after San Francisco Chronicle columnists Philip Matier and Andrew Ross reported in February that "the biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage … is that the federal judge … is himself gay."

Duh...where is that Captain Obvious pic?
Walker, a flaming homo, is another Geo. Bush 41 mistake that the nation has lived to regret.

And you’re right, Ev Reeman, it is an outrage.

It is not just judges. I do not think rear bucaneers should hold any public position of responsibility because they tend to push their radical agenda at all costs (see kevin jennings, the “safe schools” czar).

There is no point in even winning politically if there isn't a strategy to remove judges like this from the bench and if Republicans aren't willing to fix the judiciary.

Walker has undermined the Constitution and our representative republic and is guilty of treason against the United States.

IMPEACH JUDGE VAUGHN WALKER!

There is a movement, started by the American Family Association, to impeach Judge Vaughn Walker. He is the judge who just ruled that the Constitution guarantees the right of homosexuals to marry. You most likely will not see this movement mentioned on the nightly news. It‘s success will depend on YOU forwarding the information and taking action.

Impeachment is done by the House of Representatives, so we are concentrating them!

Go to http://www.house.gov/ type in your zip code on the top left. (Some cities will require zip plus 4.)

That will give you a link to your Congressman’s web page. On his web page you will see the email link. Click and follow the instructions. They need to know you are in their district so give them your name and address.

Tell your Congress Critter that you want them to impeach Judge Vaughn Walker.

If they don’’t introduce and work for the impeachment then vote for their opponent.

Watch their actions and pay no attention to their words.

Everyone in your household should send the demand to your representative for impeachment and forward this email to their email list.

If one judge gets impeached it will send a message to the rest of them.

Makes one wonder how so called conservative judges are vetted by so called conservative presidents.

What is the deal with sodomites? They make up 1% of the population. They get to judge female beauty contests. They can overturn the will of 7 million people. They win every court case. They run our public schools. They spread the vilest of diseases and get lauded for it by the press. They seek to destroy God-given marriage so they can engage in their patently unnatural acts. Are we ruled by some kind of demonic spirit or something. I’m tire of every other show on TV about Sodomy and unnatural relations.

Dirty faggots infest show business and the media. Once one gets hold of the reins of a business, he stocks the board with other queers.

While he was confirmed under Bush 41, Walker was (unfortunately) originally nominated by Reagan.
