Gay mentor, belief in dignity at roots of Kennedy’s views (USSC justice Anthony)
Associated Press ^ | Apr 26, 2015 7:40 AM EDT | Mark Sherman

The Irish Catholic boy who came of age in Sacramento after World War II is an unlikely candidate to be the author of the Supreme Court’s major gay rights rulings.

But those who have known Justice Anthony Kennedy for decades and scholars who have studied his work say he has long stressed the importance of valuing people as individuals. And he seems likely also to have been influenced in this regard by a pillar of the Sacramento legal community, a closeted gay man who hired Kennedy as a law school instructor and testified on his behalf at his high court confirmation hearings in Washington.

With three major gay rights opinions to his name already, the 78-year-old Kennedy is the prohibitive favorite to write the Supreme Court decision in June that could extend same-sex marriage nationwide.

Kennedy’s friendship with Gordon Schaber began in the mid-1960s when Schaber recruited the young lawyer to teach at the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. […] Schaber never married and was widely believed to be gay, according to accounts from a dozen people who worked for him or were active in Sacramento’s political and legal communities. …

The only question that matters is as follows: Have the homosexuals on the Supreme Court been required to recuse themselves?

I try to avoid using the word "gay" to describe homosexuals. The equivalent of "gay" for heterosexuals is "straight." Which is a stupid, screwball way of describing sexual proclivities. I'm heterosexual i.e. normal. I'm not "straight."

Now if they want to use the queer to describe homosexuality, that's fine by me. Because that's what it is. And whatever it is, it's certainly not gay.

“Schaber never married and was widely believed to be gay...”

Widely believed?

This is coordinated propaganda coming from somewhere.

Too bad the gays can’t find a judge to void natural law. They will just have to settle for the chronically confused Anthony Kennedy. No doubt he will advance their perverted, vile agenda and given the decline and decadence in this country a dishonest, alcoholic lesbian is likely to be elected President. Yet despite it all, homosexuals will remain inherently miserable deviants.

When the law become fundamentally irrational the country is bound to die... this is the beginning of the end...

logic and reason tell you things..they dictate.... you have to ignore and distort them to make it say what you want

Heterosexual desire is built into us for reason a fundamental reason..is it has a root..a reason...a purpose..it has a point....no matter how much enjoyment can be derived it has a bottom line intent and that's the reason it was built in by nature..

And no matter how empathetic you are to homosexuals..

You cannot by an logical stretch equate homosexual desires to having any kind of same reason other than being a distortion of the rationale fundamental sexual desire.

this is state and its law saying 2 Plus 2 equals 5...

and the state fully intends to impose that paradigm on all the citizens

you can leave God out of it ....

Its still an offense to the rational thinking person..

the state will declare what's logical is illogical and what illogical is logical at the state whim.

its the state puting to death the idea of "self evident truth" that a person can see for themselves

the state will tell you what's truth and you will comply

the Libertarians that have signed on to this are the biggest fool of all

I’m so glad that Kennedy is so much in favor of one male sticking his penis into the anal canal of another male.

God told us in Genisis what would happen if we continue down this path.

As time goes by, Anthony Kennedy is revealing himself to be devoid of principles or even much insight or intellegence, thus gullible in the face of any passing fad.
