Most people out there in the world are baffled by the fight over judges that has been going on in the Senate. But it does matter.
Last week, the Senate confirmed former Alabama Attorney General William H. Pryor to the U.S. Appeals Court. This guy is just repulsive.
I don't believe in extremes on either side, but the liberal group People for the American Way notes:
Pryor believes that it is constitutional to imprison gay men and lesbians for having sex in the privacy of their own homes, and has filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold Texas’ “Homosexual Conduct law,” which criminalizes such conduct. Pryor believes that singling out gay men and lesbians in this manner does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the same brief, Pryor equated for purposes of legal analysis sex between two adults of the same gender with “activities like prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia…”
And have him for life!
