Right wing Accuracy in Media author Cliff Kincaid says:
In his latest column, Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy In Media calls on Congress to impeach Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision, saying they were biased in the case because they had both officiated weddings for gay couples and because Kagan is a “known lesbian.”
I guess he doesn’t know that Supreme Court Justices are
not required to recuse themselves and certainly not because
gasp they officiated at weddings of same-sex couples!
And seriously, claiming that Kagan is lesbian which is by no means a proven fact?!? And for the sake of argument, even if Kagan is lesbian she still is NOT required to recuse herself.
Imagine if we were to say that Supreme Court Justices who are devout Christians must recuse themselves from cases involving religious liberty!
I think Cliff Kincaid and virtually every other Right winger and religious fundamentalist would be all up in arms if we were to ever suggest such a thing!!
More below the fold:
More absurdity from Kincaid:
He adds that a spokesman for Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s Foundation for Moral Law had told him that “the failure by Kagan and Ginsburg to withdraw from the case leaves them open to impeachment and removal from the bench.”
And of course Kincaid believes everything he hears from other right wing bigots, no surprise there.
Whatever the reason for the putsch, our form of government has been overthrown and another put in its place—a judicial dictatorship that is devoted to elevating to protected status a sexual minority seeking the abolition of traditional values.
No Kincaid, it is just the Supreme Court doing their
job and deciding the Constitutionality of laws and even state Constitutional amendments!
In the case of Kagan, an Obama appointee, she may have had a personal conflict-of-interest. This is a sensitive matter, but various reports indicated that Kagan was a known lesbian before she was nominated to the Court by President Obama. For example, the gay blog QueerTY had identified her as a lesbian. That would mean she was compromised on homosexual issues prior to her ascension to the bench and after she was confirmed. This is a conflict of interest that cannot be tolerated.
But of course, Kincaid says it so it just must be true right? LOL.
Kincaid, try to comprehend simple facts. Even if Kagan is lesbian she is no more required to recuse herself than a straight person would be required to. And no more than a devout Christian Justice would be required to recuse themselves from a case involving religious liberty. Can you not comprehend such a simple concept?
Members of Congress taking up this cause will not get sympathetic headlines in the media. But it is something that has to be done if Independence Day is going to have any meaning left at all.
Oh, how original! Kincaid wants to deny others their Civil Rights and says that by NOT denying them their Civil Rights that Independence Day won’t have any meaning!
Sure, got you Kincaid!! Bigot!
As a bonus here is a video Cliff Kincaid released prior to the Supreme Court ruling on May 4th. In there he is already condemning the Supreme Court for invoking Marriage Equality before they actually did. Well, at least he could see the handwriting on the wall!
You should find this video entertaining. :)
