On same day, Senate confirms 2 gay judges to federal courts
Wisconsin Gazette ^ | 06/17/2014 | Wisconsin Gazette

The U.S. Senate on June 17 confirmed three federal judges nominated by President Barack Obama. The White House, in a statement released hours later, said each judge will be a "trailblazer on their courts."

• Judge Darrin Gayles, confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, is the first openly gay African American man to be confirmed as a lifetime-appointed federal judge.

• Staci Yandle, confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, is the first African American to serve on that court and the first openly gay lifetime-appointed federal judge in Illinois.

With the Senate actions, Obama has now appointed more female judges than any other president, breaking the record previously set by President Bill Clinton.

The legal foundation is being laid for Obama's persecution of Christians.

While that may indeed be true ... did you notice that one confirmation was 98-0? Make sure that you know who ALL your enemies are.

Yet another primary point.

All of the Senators went along. It was a 98=0 vote on one of them. I don’t know who didn’t vote. That looks like a complete RINO infestation to me.

Rhetorically: Why is the sexual preference of a federal judge of any interest or importance whatsoever?

Why does that have to lead the labeling efforts by the media?

Persecution is already here but they want to make the penalties harsher for Christians. Wait until the gays figure out they’re on the Islamic endangered list too after they’ve expended their usefulness.

They have to go along on judicial nominees to keep the federal bench from being politicized. Can't have that.

It seems that there are quite a few queer Blacks. Is homosexuality common in the black community? Would explain the high amount of AIDS in Africa.

And that's one big reason to not sit on your hands on a Presidential Election even though your party's candidate is more liberal than you would like.
Nominating judges, majority in Congress trumps sitting the election out.
