Uh, no.

Regardless of the standard you hold them to or the standard they should set, another judge agreeing does not indicate no personal bias.

So a straight judge couldn't be biased against homosexuality? Bullshit.
Sure he could.  Do you think there's an equal chance of that impacting his decision, as compared to Walker? 

EDIT: Worded poorly.  Do you think there's an equal chance of this situation happening, and then having it impact his decision, as compared to Walker?
I think it's just as likely that there's a straight judge biased against homosexuals.
Holyfuckshit.

A gay judge ruling in favor of SSM is just as likely as a straight judge ruling against it.

Are you straight?
Are you in favor of SSM?
Do you know any gays who are not in favor of SSM?
Do you think any gays are not in favor of SSM?

Edit:
Why would a homosexual be AGAINST SSM?
Google it. You'll find plenty of examples.
Or you could just tell me.   If there are so many examples.

Everyone has personal bias. Was the decision legally sound?
6/26/2013 12:02 PM
You'll just have to take my word for it then.

If you open one judge to scrutiny of bias, make sure you open them all. Is Clarence Thomas conservatively biased because his wife makes money from a Conservative lobby?

Very convincing argument.

I think it's possible but less likely.    As outlined by my 5 questions.

I think a poll at Westboro Church would very likely be against SSM.
I think the same poll taken at a gay bar in San Fran would very likely be for SSM.

Yea, this.  As I said, that's besides the point.

And I agree with his decision, obviously.  But show me a homosexual judge in a long-term relationship, and I'll show you someone who absolfuckinglutely will be ruling to allow SSM.

Sure, I have no problem with that.   I believe all of us know some judges lean liberal, some lean conservative.   That's pretty much why they're appointed. 
6/26/2013 12:05 PM
You're ok with a Supreme Court judge being biased in his rulings? Possibly because he profits from it?

I'm OK with knowing that he probably is biased in his rulings for some reason.    Republicans don't appoint liberal judges, Democrats don't appoint conservative judges.   Do you disagree?

The fact that you don't believe a gay judge in a long-term relationship with another man could be just a little biased regarding SSM.

I didn't say he wasn't biased. Just that it looks like he was able to put aside his personal bias (all judges have some bias) and issue a legally sound ruling.

Not for the most part but if a Supreme Court justice is showing bias in his decisions because he may profit fom it, we have a problem and its not ok.
