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.

Unknown to me, BJ’s are sodomy in the UCMJ.
A marriage to bacon might last longer. Bacon doesn’t get “snippy”, or jealous, or any of those other human weaknesses.
...Pat Leahy grills Trump judicial nominee: Do you think gay marriage is like marrying bacon?...
This is bizarre beyond description.
Gay “marriage” is from Massachusetts.
It’s a joke, son... it’s a JOKE!!
(And so is Leahy.)
See how sacrosanct gay marriage has become. Completely illegal stretching back through distant past and only legal a few months, historically speaking.
He should have mentioned that he was only agreeing with Obama and Hillary.
haha
I’m offended that noble bacon’s character has been soiled with homosexuality.
“Well Senator, that analogy is meaningless to me, but I know that marriage is only between one man and one women”.
“Attempts to bastardize the definition don’t change the truth”.
[Do you think gay marriage is like marrying bacon?]
What a SICK, UNDIGNIFIED question to ask a judicial nominee.
Proper response to the question: “Sen. Leahy, how long have you had dementia?”
A mere six steps away..........
It certainly is after a sweaty workout.
No, Pat. Gay marriage is like fishing for elephants in the Bering Sea.
If I was before one of these committees attempting to be confirmed I’d say “To the democrat senators I say I will not answer any questions since I know you will never vote to confirm me. So why don’t we save a lot of time and stop the bull shit games.”
To state right up front, QUEER MARRIAGE IS A PERVERSION, and a sin against GOD.
Now my answer to any senator, congresscritter, or other government puke who would even ask me a question like that; SENATOR (or other), ARE YOU BATSHIT CRAZY?
Wow, I thought I was reading the Onion for a second. Then I found out someone said something really stupid.
