AFA demands Ginsburg and Kagan recuse themselves from marriage equality cases

[sheshe2]

In a laughable display of desperation, the American Family Association is demanding that Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg recuse themselves from the four marriage equality cases it recently agreed to hear. Their unhinged press release titled Kagan and Ginsburg: Recuse Yourselves! is a study in heads-up-ones-ass reasoning.

Both of these justices’ personal and private actions that actively endorse gay marriage clearly indicate how they would vote on same-sex marriage cases before the Supreme Court,” said AFA President Tim Wildmon. “Congress has directed that federal judicial officers must disqualify themselves from hearing cases in specified circumstances. Both Kagan and Ginsburg have not only been partial to same-sex marriage but they have also proven themselves to be activists in favor of it. In order to ensure the Court’s integrity and impartiality, both should recuse themselves from same-sex marriage cases. Congress has an obligation to Americans to see that members of the Supreme Court are held to the highest standards of integrity. The law demands it, and the people deserve it.

This isn't the first time the AFA demanded that Ginsburg and Kagan recuse themselves from marriage equality cases. Last October was not a good month for these poor people. Noted whackadoodle Bryan Fischer frothed that Justices Ginsburg and Kagan "have performed sodomy-based “wedding” ceremonies" and that soundly disqualifies them from justicing. With his brain tied into a cringe-worthy pretzel, he unsuccessfully tried to convince us that "they would be, from a strictly legal standpoint, committing a federal crime" should they fail to heed his impotent warning.

It was inevitable that this would all get very entertaining very quickly and I have not been disappointed. To my delight, these anti-equality groups are clearly more nervous than George Will's wig on a windy day. What was once a maliciously aggressive adversary against equality has been reduced to a quivery ooze of despair. They are flailing in the ocean without a life preserver and I feel as though I should do something. Now where did I put that anchor?

Oh, and Jeremy Hooper...don't ever change.
