Washington: With a vacancy soon on the U.S. Supreme
Court, homosexual blogs are discussing the potential of
a homosexual being appointed.
Politico.com reports homosexual-rights groups are upset
with President Barack Obama for not choosing an openly
"gay" person for his Cabinet, and are urging him to
appoint the first openly homosexual justice.
The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund is hailing the
candidacy of First Amendment scholar Kathleen Sullivan,
while Stanford law professor Pam Karlan is also
frequently mentioned. Both have been open about their
sexuality and have been active for homosexual legal
causes.
Matt Barber is a spokesperson with Liberty Counsel.
"Well, in light of this nation's u ndeniable Christian
heritage, it's hard to believe we're even having a
conversation about whether a sitting United States
president will count deviant sexual behavior as a
favorable qualification in determining a nomination to
the highest court of the land," he says.
Barber offers a message for members of the Senate to
send to President Obama. "We insist upon a Supreme Court
justice who will strictly interpret the Constitution --
which was the clear intent of our Founding Fathers and
not use the Constitution [or] abuse the Constitution as
a means to an ideological end, which I fear this
administration intends to do," he concludes.
The new justice will replace Justice David Souter, who
has announced he is retiring at the end of the current
session.
