FOX CHAPEL, Pennsylvania, November 5, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Three years ago, Nino Esposito adopted his adult gay lover, Roland Bosee, Jr., as his legal son in order to save money on future inheritance taxes. Now that homosexual "marriage" is legal in Pennsylvania, they went to court to dissolve that legal adoption so as to "wed."
Judge Lawrence J. O'Toole, of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, told the men that state law didn't give him the power to dissolve a legal adoption, unless there was fraud involved.
Now Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is asking the Obama administration to strongarm the judge.
Sen. Casey wrote a letter asking U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Obama White House to "issue guidance for courts across the country" in the matter. Casey hopes to set a national precedent for homosexuals, "so that gay couples who have previously entered into adoptions can annul them in order to receive marriage licenses."
Judge O'Toole noted in his ruling that the primary purpose of Esposito adopting Bosee was for money, to reduce the Pennsylvania inheritance tax payable upon the death of one of the men from 15% to 4%, "as the two men would now be in a parent-child relationship instead of a third party relationship."
Sen. Casey even told the president how to legalize the dissolving of gay adoptions. His letter said the administration's "guidance" could be based on decisions other judges have made that allow the dissolution of adoptions, and Casey noted a Bucks County judge who annulled a homosexual couple's adoption.
Gay activists showered praise on Casey. "I love Senator Casey for taking a position," LGBTQ lawyer Helen Casale said.
"The ACLU is hopeful that the Superior Court will apply established legal principles to allow annulment of adoptions by same-sex couples who that [sic] they can finally partake of their constitutional right to marry," Witold Walczak, the legal director of ACLU Pennsylvania, said.
Because adoption law is a state prerogative, the White House "may have to be creative and devise a [response] that's respectful of a court's prerogatives," Casey said.
The attorney general may file a "statement of interest," or the Obama administration may file a "friend of the court" brief. Either action would pressure judges by pointing out alleged constitutional protections at stake if homosexuals are not allowed to dissolve adoptions and lay out legal reasoning for dissolving gay adoptions.
The Obama administration has been taking the previously rare move of filing White House opinions in several cases, in an effort to "put the federal government on the record in cases that are at the forefront of civil rights law."
Bosee's and Esposito's case is on appeal before Pennsylvania's Superior Court.
Casey came out in 2013, publicly supporting same-sex "marriage." "It's the right thing to do," he said.
Casey is a sack of SH!T!!! He is does nothing but run interference for the goosestepping Marxist, Socialist, Homo left!
-——incestous homosexual sodomy........ how’s that for an unfathomable concept-——
Ever see these new commercials for “Jet.com”
Top of you head explodes into a blue mist?
That’s me....
Another gift of the Teachers Unions and their political action committees. Just like Gov. Wolf and our new Supreme Court.
You are very close to the target.
They actually have a view on existence which tells them that there is no such thing as right and wrong. This contradicts what God has written on their heart and what traditional Judeo-Christianity teaches so they are conflicted.
To work through their internal conflict, they try everyday to prove that bad things aren’t actually bad and that good things aren’t actually good. They think that by pointing out the imperfections in good things and the value of bad things they will somehow overcome the inherent flaws in the their world view.
This country is on its way to being WORSE than Rome just before its fall.

The Founding Fathers would be alarmed at the state of the country today. They tried to warn us about a domineering government but we completely ignored it. Its probably too late to go back now. The die is cast.
Blessed is the man that walks not in the ways of the unrighteous but his delight is in the laws of the Lord.........Psalm 1.

Liberals are like termites that eat away at the structure of a house. Over time the house weakens and eventually collapses.
Hey it worked for woody allen and that old black guy in all the movies.
I thought Bob Casey was supposed to be SO CATHOLIC!!! What an awful JOKE he is.
Sorry wagglebee. It would appear that according to our political class, sodomy IS a civil right.
Y’know this is where we get into that whole Romans 13 thing. This is caesar in all his naked, sodomizing glory.
Almost impossible to serve two masters.
SICK that ADULT GAYS were ADOPTED in order to have SEX and get Inheritances!!
The god they serve reigns below their waists and above their thighs.
Pedophilia and bestiality are just around the corner as protected civil rights.
Nigh
Agreed. For the Left, there is no Absolute Right, and therefore, there is no Absolute Wrong, either.
Related to all this is that they despise rules and laws, and the Rule of Law. They want to do what is “right” in their own eyes, for them, now. They have no concept of eternity, so, live for the moment, run up the credit card, use other people’s money. There is no Heaven, there is no Hell, there is no Divine Judgment, because nothing is Divine. That’s how a lot of them think.
Since there is a substantial sub-subculture of “daddy love” in the queer community with large age discrepancies, expect this to happen much more frequently.
If Casey’s father was alive this would kill him.
Thanks—I knew that didn’t look right—but couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong.
I mean to tell ya....this world is falling rapidly into a new form of deviancy.
