Pat Leahy grills Trump judicial nominee: Do you think gay marriage is like marrying bacon?

This is so pitifully stupid. Either Democrats are desperate for attack lines against Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett, Trump’s nominee for the Fifth Circuit, or Leahy is so out of touch after 42 years in the Senate that he can’t recognize goofball humor when he sees it.
Here’s the genesis of Willett’s “controversial” bacon analogy:

If you’re surprised to find a state supreme court justice tweeting jokes, you’ve never read Willett’s feed before. Take the opportunity to scroll through. He’s more famous for his social media habit than for his judicial opinions, although he’s a respected jurist. It’s unusual to see someone at the top of his profession tweeting so lightheartedly day after day, especially when that profession is as self-serious and culturally distant as the judiciary. But that’s Willett and he does it well, having collected more than 100,000 followers in the process. His Twitter avatar captures his sensibility perfectly — it’s an image of a judge in a cowboy hat riding the Twitter birdie icon rodeo-style. I wonder if part of the reason he landed on Trump’s judicial list is because POTUS respects a man with Twitter game.
The bacon tweet is perfectly in keeping with the day-to-day tone of Willett’s feed, or at least it was until he went quiet after being nominated to the federal bench so as not to run into needless controversies.

Senator Leahy,
Aren’t we all free to choose who or what we love?
Oh my what does Pat Leahy do to Bacon ,yuck
Leahy still has breath in his lungs? Too bad, for everyone....
No, Pat. What he says is that if congress passes a law saying that it’s OK to marry bacon, then he’ll go along with it.
So, the real question is, do you, Pat, think it’s OK to marry bacon?
And what about eggs?
Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Man/man or woman/woman or woman/dolphin or man/bacon is something else.
I CANNOT believe that Pat Leahy doesn’t have a CHECKERED PAST!
I self identify as a swine
I’m a pig as well.
Good point, and it’s true.
Check out the definition of sex.
Homosexual relations aren’t really sex according to the dictionary.
Instead of sexuality, it’s sensuality.
Homosexual or bacon, the words “Squeal boy!” are applicable.
I thought he was a liver man!
Paul Ryan is into warm apple pies.
Mitch the Post Turtle, is too old to participate.
FU Leaky Leahy!!!
When you look in the dictionary under “worthless POS,” you find Leahy’s “likeness” included in the description.
Justice Willett has great truly wit. His Twitter feed was one of the best and I miss it. The day he was nominated for the fifth circuit he stopped tweeting. I hope after confirmation he starts again.
Oh, and Senator Leahy is a jackass.
Bacon, really, Senator.
Massachusetts is Sodom by the sea.
God owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
Leahy's from Vermont.
I thought gay “marriage” was like committing sodomy.
