“This guy is 100% sold out to the gay agenda and to liberal “tolerance”.
Liberal “tolerance” is always about forcing someone else to do something they do not want to.
It’s the totalitarian way. This is the way “justice” is meted out in Marxist/fascist countries.
Nobody asked for jail time. Not even the ACLU or the couples who brought the charges in the suit.
This piece of garbage went the extra mile.
Are there any CONSERVATIVE judges in the United States?
Bush was president from 2000 to 2008. I thought alot of these guys are in for life.
I could be very wrong and it might be a very bad assumption on my part.
Does a pres get to fire lots of judges?
Former major league pitcher Jim Bunning’s son? If so, it’s obvious he’s been hit in the face with more balls than his father.
We aren’t suppose to ad-lib headlines, to be saying Christian News Network had that headline. It’s cool with me, rules are rules.
But Bunning also required the school district to implement training as part of a settlement, which mandated school staff and students to undergo diversity education, a significant portion of which would be devoted to issues of sexual orientation and gender harassment. However, a number of students objected to being forced to watch a video that asserted that it is wrong to oppose homosexuality and that a persons sexuality cannot be changed. They discovered that they could not opt-out of the training without being penalized, and contacted the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) for assistance.
But in 2006, Bunning again ruled that the students must watch the video and could not opt-out because of their Christian identity, stating that the education rationally related to a legitimate educational goal, namely to maintain a safe environment. He said that the training wouldnt mean that students would have to change their religious beliefs, therefore, an opt-out was unnecessary.
Bunnings decision was then appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned his ruling in October 2007 and sided with Morrison. It stated that the student could seek damages from the school district because the policy and training chilled his ability to express his Christian beliefs about homosexuality to his fellow students.
Sanity at last.
Federal judges are appointed for life (subject only to impeachment).
George W. Bush appointed this judge. His father was Jim Bunning (the ballplayer turned Kentucky politician). The judge's entire legal experience before being appointed to the bench was as a federal prosecutor in the Kentucky U.S. Attorney's Office; his official resume shows no experience in private practice.

Good Grief.
I really really hope this judge is impeached when Congress returns this fall.
Yes, but more importantly, he is the son of former U.S. Senator Jim Bunning. And, purely coincidentally, Jim Bunning was serving in the Senate when George W. Bush appointed his son David a federal judge.
The GOP politicians are going after Hillary/sarc....
“I really really hope this judge is impeached when Congress returns this fall.”
They can’t impeach him for the way he rules on a case .
Do you really expect them to ?
We are talking about a congress that done nothing for us except mock us
Yeah but I am thinking imprisoning a Christian for exercising her religious liberty is a game changer. But then again Congress is in the unipartys’ hands so most likely, after a bout of chest pounding to make the folks at home happy, nothing will be done.
Can we please find a Mohameddan city clerk who denied a same-sex marriage license or who denied the issuance of a liquor license?
The only judge to be impeached in my lifetime is a member of congress.
Kids may have to sit thru the film but they don’t have to pay attention. It’s a golden opportunity for them to get out their smart phones update their Twitter page, text their friends or play games or put in the ole ear plugs and zone on some tunes. As long as the butts are in the seats the court and the gaystepo can’t say boo about it.
Actually, he probably did Kim Davis a favor here. If he just levied fines he would have bankrupted her, and this story would have disappeared from the news. The last thing the ACLU and the plaintiffs in this case ever wanted was a "Birmingham Jail" scenario with a white Christian in the lead role.
