“The issue is not their sexual orientation. It’s whether they are a good judge or not.”

First off, it's not an "orientation", it's a "preference". Preference meaning a choice is made. If that choice happens to be having intimate relationships with someone of the same sex, it's a very bad choice that will ruin a person's life and after life.

Second, a "good judge" should be able to make good choices. A judge that chooses to have intimate relationships with those of the same sex, will make bad choices. Many bad choices.

Exactly.

I wouldn’t want a drunk or a drug addict on the SCOTUS either.

Bad choices.

Bad judgement.

First off, it's not an "orientation", it's a "preference".

The text clearly reads "orientation".
