Homophobe Bigot Judge under investigation

[Buzz Jenkins]

Judges have to enforce the law. They are agents of the state. They have NO RIGHT to disregard the law simply because they do not personally agree with it. If they refuse to perform their duties for personal reasons then they need to resign.

What if a judge in a murder trial opposed the death penalty and refuses to charge the jury with instructions related to the death penalty due to his personal beliefs? What if a jury imposes the death penalty (in a state where this matter goes to the jury) and the judge refuses to impose the sentence based upon his personal belief? Are you ok with that? I sure as hell am not.

Just think...


If there were TWO judges in Oregon, they could go to the other one and get married.

Apparently everyone can...it said that he's not performing any weddings now. Even the straights can go elsewhere.

Did you read the article?


miss this part?

"Judges in Marion County are not required to perform marriages."

He stopped doing ALL ceremonies earlier this year.

He's not discriminating...

He's NOT doing something he's NOT required to do anyway.

Oregon Judge Under Investigation After Decision Not To Perform Gay Marriages


Don't these people realize they're all going to be characters in a movie years from now-- like in 'Mississippi Burning' they had to find some hack actors to play the disgusting racists.

Who will play Rick Santorum? His grandchildren will sit in a theater someday watching Grandad's ugly bigoted record play out.

A judge in Marion County, Oregon, is under investigation after he reportedly refused to perform same-sex marriages when it was legalized in the state.

The state Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability, which is conducting the ethics investigation, will not comment on the probe into Judge Vance Day's actions, leaving it unclear exactly why Day is being investigated.

But numerous local news outlets reported on Thursday that the investigation is related to Day's decision not to marry same-sex couples.

According to Portland television station KGW, which was first to report on the investigation, "Day instructed his staff to tell couples that the judge will not perform same-sex marriages. The staffers were instructed to refer same-sex couples to other Marion County judges willing to issue them a marriage license."

Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that Day stopped performing all marriages this spring and "informed his staff that when same-sex marriage became legal in Oregon to refer couples seeking all marriages to other county judges."

Don't see this part in your cut and paste, but it IS in the article.

"Judges in Marion County are not required to perform marriages."

Let's see, he not performing ANY weddings, (gay or straight), and he's not REQUIRED to perform weddings.

Who, exactly, is he discriminating against?

 

[Freewill]

My dad is a judge. They are able to perform marriages, but they are not required to do so. Dad has performed 1 wedding in almost 18 years on the bench. Every other request (and there have been several) has been politely declined.

Careful, don't let the PC police find out.

Homosexuality is behavior. It isn't "race". So the judge if he objects on religious grounds cannot face punishment; else he can sue for violation of his civil rights to the 1st Amendment.

You see, mistaking a behavior for a static thing like race is going to be the key point of deliberation of any jury or panel. It has to be. Hold that in the front of your mind at all times because it's the kicker.

Perhaps the judge's role in future movies will be like a jew in the face of another famous cult of aberrant behaviors. You remember WWII when another out of control cult that fancied itself a race began persecuting people for their religious beliefs? C'mon. It wasn't that long ago..

Way to go judge. Glad to see someone with some sense, unlike you and the mentally derainged left. Idiot.
