EEOC nominee signed radical marriage manifesto that praised polygamy
Catholic News Agency ^ | Sept. 30 2009 | Catholic News Agency
Posted on September 30, 2009 1:35:51 PM PDT by Dumb_Ox

A law professor nominated by President Obama to become a commissioner for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was a signatory to a radical 2006 manifesto which endorsed polygamous households and argued traditional marriage should not be privileged “above all others.”

Georgetown University Law Center professor Chai R. Feldblum, nominated as a commissioner for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), is listed as a signatory to the July 26, 2006 manifesto “Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision for All Our Families & Relationships.”

The manifesto’s signatories said they proposed a “new vision” for governmental and private recognition of “diverse kinds” of partnerships, households and families. They said they hoped to “move beyond the narrow confines of marriage politics” in the U.S.

Describing various kinds of households as no less socially, economically, and spiritually worthy than other relationships, the Beyond Marriage manifesto listed “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner.”

Same-sex marriage, the manifesto said, should be “just one option on a menu of choices that people have about the way they construct their lives.”

“Marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship, and it should not be legally and economically privileged above all others,” the manifesto continued. “While we honor those for whom marriage is the most meaningful personal – for some, also a deeply spiritual – choice, we believe that many other kinds of kinship relationship, households, and families must also be accorded recognition.”

The manifesto listed as one of its principles “freedom from a narrow definition of our sexual lives and gender choices, identities, and expression.”

It also charged that the political right enforces “narrow, heterosexist definitions of marriage.”

Other signatories of the Beyond Marriage manifesto included activists, academics, writers, artists, and clergy. The prominent names listed include Ms. Magazine founder Gloria Steinem, New York Times writer Barbara Ehrenreich, Catholic feminist theologian Mary E. Hunt, Tikkun Magazine editor Rabbi Michael Lerner, philosopher Judith Butler and Princeton University professor Cornel West.

President Barack Obama announced Feldblum’s nomination in a Sept. 14 statement, saying she and nominees to other agencies bring “a dedication and expertise in their fields that will serve this administration and the American people well.”

“As we work to advance equal rights, keep our nation safe and put our country back on a path to prosperity, I look forward to working with these fine individuals in the months and years ahead,” the president said.

The White House’s statement noted that Feldblum has taught at the Georgetown University Law Center since 1991 and founded a program there to train students to become legislative lawyers. She also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun and helped draft the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

“She has also worked on advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights and has been a leading expert on the Employment Nondiscrimination Act,” the White House’s Sept. 14 statement said.

The Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) would create a federal ban on workplace discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.

The EEOC is tasked with the enforcement of federal anti-discrimination law in the workplace. If confirmed, Feldblum would become one of five EEOC commissioners, who each serve a term of five years.

Feldblum’s nomination was sent to the U.S. Senate on Sept. 15.

Besides the fact that pointing fingers does absolutely no good,
and we’d only be moderately better off with Juan McCain as president,

would the 3rd party voters have put the ‘stain in office?

Article: Chai Feldblum

Article from:
Washington Jewish Week
Article date:
August 2, 2007

Always interested in being in the middle of the action, Chai Feldblum was born and raised in New York City and then moved to the Washington area after receiving her bachelor’s degree in ancient studies from Barnard College in New York.

Eager to dive right into the political scene, Feldblum began working here as a lobbyist for the Population Resource Center, and then as a staff member for current Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), who was then a member of Congress.

That tiny taste of political and legislative life nurtured a deeper hunger in Feldblum for meaningful experiences and achievements this area - her impetus to enroll in Harvard Law School, where she obtained her law degree ...

“In the America that you want,

with the ability to violate the right to free exercise of religion

if 5 people in robes say it is?”

The Constitution means what the judges of the Court say it means. They are always right because they are final, not final because they are always right. In your example, Obama, or any other president, can appoint whomsoever he pleases to the EEOC. The Senate can confirm or not. Whether or not that person can get away with vilation of the free exercise clause is another matter entirely. I am curious though; who is the unaccountable czar with the ability to violate the free exercise clause? Obama’s lesbian? Have the powers of the EEOC or its commissioners been secretly expanded?

But back to my question, in the America you want to create, will the Founders be excoriated because of the Constitutional system they set up, one that contains Art. III, sec. 2?
