Disturbing background of federal judge who issued ruling against Pastor Scott Lively.

The federal judge who recently issued a vitriolic 79-page ruling against Pastor Scott Lively has a disturbing background revealing prejudices and improprieties that under federal law should certainly have disqualified him from presiding over the case, MassResistance has discovered. Presiding Federal Judge Michael Ponsor issued the ruling back in August.

The homosexual movement is infamous for its success at shrewd "judge shopping" to push their agenda in the US court system. Ponsor was clearly a perfect choice. Ponsor is openly liberal and a protégé of pro-homosexual Judge Joseph Tauro, who recently ruled to strike down DOMA in the federal court. But that's just his more visible profile.

MassResistance has recently learned more on Ponsor's shocking background. This information was not known to the defendants when the case began.

An objective observer would question his ability to be impartial in light of these facts:

Made indirect donations to plaintiff's organization. For the last two years Ponsor and his wife have contributed to the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts (CFWF). CFWF has donated money to the plaintiff's organization, Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

Has homosexual issues in his family. Ponsor's former (second) wife, the mother of his two children (and whom he divorced in 1992) now lives a lesbian lifestyle and is "married" to a female Massachusetts judge. Among other things, she has written for the "Gay and Lesbian Review."

Ponsor's daughter wrote on an Internet blog that she "came out" as a lesbian in 1999, along with other references to lesbian activity.

Ponsor's first wife was heavily involved with pro-lesbian feminist groups during the time they were married.

Has troubling ties to plaintiff's local counsel, who is also a radical activist. The local opposing counsel in this case, Luke Ryan, worked as a law clerk for Ponsor from 2005-2007 and appears to be close friends with him. Ryan is an active supporter of Arise for Social Justice, a thuggish pro-homosexual group which, along with "Occupy Springfield," has terrorized Pastor Lively's downtown coffee house mission. Ryan is also involved with Out Now, a homosexual group that demonstrated against Lively at the court hearing.

No matter what side of this, or any other issue being considered, this kind of conflict of interest should always be grounds for recusal. If not, it makes a mockery of the legal system.

I can’t imagine the cards getting stacked any worse. Complaints need to be filed at as many controlling state controlling offices as soon as possible.

No, failure to recuse with this kind of conflict is grounds for rebellion!

Thanks for the post. The judiciary has gotten way out of line. They have managed to foist off on the public every degeneracy known to man i.e. abortion, pornography, sodomy etc. etc.

“He” seems to have a lot of lesbian issues in “his” family. Is anyone sure “He” isn’t a female to male transsexual? I mean, his first with is a lesbian, his 2nd wife appears to be a lesbian, and his daughter now. I’m thinking he is really a she all along.

This is just an observation. I have nothing against lesbians as my mother in law was one (She passed away) and I have a cousin who is one.

All because the legislative branch is populated by feckless fools who do not actually work for We The People. The insidious rulings would bring impeachment and removal, once upon a time. But look at the history of Alcee Hastings if you wonder how far from reason America has slid.

This could go all the way to the subPreme Court, where the pirate Roberts will do as he is told and squelch opposition to the degeneracy agenda.

I'm 68. The America I was born into is no more.

What is happening here is that the federal judge has allowed an unconscionable lawsuit to go forward, fully aware that it will almost certainly be overturned on appeal, but will achieve several punitive goals against a defendant he hates.

It is highly unethical and unjust, but is done anyway.

The two goals are, for the judge, are to first run up enormous expenses on the part of the defendant, but not on the complainant, who is in this case have “deep pocket” resources, but insulate the party responsible, George Soros, from any potential counter suit liability.

Second, by opening the defendant up to extensive legal discovery, which can be used by the complainant and others to harm the defendant in the future.

There is also a third potential goal of suppressing free speech by the defendant and others in the future, which is the “chilling effect”.

A strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is a lawsuit that is intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition.

The plaintiff’s (complainants) goals are accomplished if the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate.

Which is exactly what this Soros-funded complainant and this federal judge hope to accomplish.

As such, it would be grounds for impeachment and removal from the federal bench, were a conservative majority congress in office. Though congress is usually loathe to do so except for blatant criminal offenses, which permits bad and corrupt federal judges a free hand.

Thank you for posting this outrageous story, I had not heard of it. It reminds me of Federal Judge Vaughn Walker who overturned California's Proposition 8 defining marriage as 1 woman and 1 man. Only after his ruling did this wretched man came out of the closet. That alone should have been grounds for overturning his decision with prejudice.

Pastor Lively is the co-author of ...

1995

Scott Lively’s and Kevin Abrams’ controversial book, The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, was published. Its theme was that “butch” (ultra masculine) homosexuals within the Nazi Party contributed to the extreme militarism and barbarism of Nazi Germany. The authors maintained that a key to understanding the cause of the German social collapse, which culminated in the atrocities of the Third Reich, was found in the conflict of Hellenic and Hebrew (Judeo-Christian) value systems. This war of philosophies, as old as Western civilization itself, pit the homoeroticism of the Greeks against the marriage-and-family-centered heterosexuality of the Jews. Although the Nazis included homosexuals in their persecutions (though at a much lower level than homosexualists contend), the homosexuals they persecuted were almost exclusively the effeminate members of the homosexual community (who they claimed were also very active in the communist party, and therefore political rivals) in Germany. Persecution of the femme homosexuals provided a degree of public cover for their own homosexuality. Lively and Abrams also contended that much of the mistreatment in the concentration camps was administered by masculine homosexuals who despised effeminacy in all its forms. The book, and authors, have been subjected to heavy criticism from the homosexual lobby, segments of the Jewish population, and others.
