As the first openly gay man to be confirmed as a federal judge and to serve on the federal bench, he will be a symbol of how much we have achieved as a country in just the last few decades, New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor on Monday

boys are discouraged often prohibited from playing games with toy plastic guns, rubber knives or other weapons You have to ask - who's doing the "prohibiting" and why do parents allow those people to have authority over their children (if they disagree)?

Excellent question. It falls under the heading of “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Yes, we as a country have achieved so much. We have managed to be proud of putting perverts in positions of power.

Hard to imagine anyone having to stand in judgement before a mentally deranged rimmer and felcher.

Apparently so. It is now considered achievement to have a judge who has sex with other men and proudly lets others know.

Also, theyre trying to get the APA to declassify pedophilia as a disorder just as they did with homosexuality. And, like always, they are manipulating the language. Its not pedophilia now... get this - its adult-child sex. And they are discussing the benefits of adult-child sex FOR THE CHILD!””
Yep, it is all about access to other peoples’ children. They are teaching the perversion in schools by sexually harrassing young children to the point where it is really just child abuse in a most disgusting form. Sexual harrassment and sexual abuse of children in schools is now passing as sex education.

Stuff like this always happens in states that are running massive deficits.

Where’s Vitter and Coburn? I’m sure several of the ones who voted “no” really hated to do so. Did Cornyn vote “yes” and leave KBH at the altar?
