His political scope is hard to nail down. I found some other court cases where he awarded custody of children to a dad as opposed to a lesbian Baptist mom, and also spoke on "right to life" and "incapacity" issues at a guardianship committee in 2001.


(snip 1...)"Circuit Judge George Greer, who assigned residential custody to David, had "succumbed to the father’s attacks on the mother’s sexual orientation, which were the primary feature of this case." Northcutt asserted that in order for Julie’s sexual orientation to influence the custody decision, it must be shown that her conduct had "a direct effect or impact upon the children." Northcutt asserted that Greer’s opinion showed his conclusions on this point to be "conclusory or unsupported by the evidence." Greer had seized upon comments by the expert witness, Dr. Merin, to the effect that "a strong stigma attaches to homosexuality and that while being reared in a homosexual environment does not appear to alter sexual preference, it does affect social interaction and that it is likely that the children’s peers or their parents will have negative words or thoughts about this." Apparently, the trial court also presumed that these potential problems would be magnified by the children’s attendance at a Baptist-church affiliated school."


(snip 2...)"Group to hold conference on caring for the elderly
'Soaring to New Heights in Elder Care" is the theme for this year's Guardian Association conference.

Thanks for your excellent research, cgk. This guy is a real puzzler, isn't he?
