Apparently in Alabama, things other than Osama Bin Laden merit the designation “inherent evil.” Apparently they have an unusual interpretation of the separation of church and state there as well.
I found it interesting that even Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, not exactly the champion of the downtrodden, took it upon himself to blast the judge’s words as “way over the line” and “un-Christian,” and even went so far as to wonder if you’re gay in Alabama, will you get a fair trial?
Even Bill O’Reilly can surprise you sometimes.
yes is IS awful….but…. I think the good news is that its a pretty good basis for appeal – many judges THINK the same way, but are smart enough not to put those views out as a basis for their decision. Not to say this family has the money, time, or ability to keep fighting in court.
You’re right! What a surprise that Bill Nelson and the ACLU are on the same side.
