A Texas judge said she was forced to remove a rainbow pride flag displayed in her courtroom after a local defense attorney filed a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez, an out lesbian, said the agency, which investigates allegations of judicial misconduct, mandated that she also remove a pen, eyeglasses and a mouse pad with rainbow patterns, along with a sarape, a colorful traditional Mexican cloth.
“It felt like they were trying to shame me and bully me into not expressing who I truly am,” Gonzalez, who presides over Bexar County Court 13 in San Antonio, said. “It felt like a kick in the gut.”
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct told NBC News it could neither confirm nor deny anything related to the issue, citing “strict confidentiality rules.”
Flavio Hernandez, who confirmed he filed the complaints against Gonzalez with both the Bexar County Court and the state commission in August, said he was “grieved” when “confronted by a rainbow flag prominently displayed” in her courtroom and could not “in good conscience” submit himself or his clients “to the implied authority of this unofficial flag symbolizing the Judge’s personal bias.”

I don’t think so. A courtroom should look professional in every way, not like a kid’s desk.
all is forgiven!
Ieeeeyyy.... WTH
Much better.... vision’s starting to come back.
Ahhhh..... nothing like a fine woman with a hot gun or is it a hot woman with a fine gun.
You’re supposed to be non-political.
This woman is clearly unfit to be a judge. A judge is supposed to appear NEUTRAL.
A judge who feels it is morally necessary to repeatedly pronounce her political / sexual beliefs is unfit for office.
“Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez”
Really? The judge is named “Speedy Gonzalez”?
Justice Scalia did not kill himself.
Not guilty!
aka Speedy Gonzalez
That image could have come right out of Central Casting.
No, he didn’t. Scalia was probably a dry run for what would happen once Hillary was elected. By now there’d have been an accident, a mysterious disease, and at least one more heart attack on the Court.
The DNC is a haunt of scum and villainy.

Well, sit on the bench naked, truly expressing yourself.
Especially if you have a rainbow tattoo.
How did she even get selected?
Oh WOW!, that’s a nice gun. :)
She’s showing very good trigger discipline.
BINGO
I would like to volunteer to kick her in the gut. So sick of the abject narcissism that is running rampant among lefties. Everything is about “me.”
