One of my state's ignorant congress critters

I showed this to my mom, who works as an attorney in the federal court system. She was astonished that anyone would have the gall to ask these things, since it is illegal to do so.

I heard about an English judge voting against a gay couple adopting a kid because he was christian and it was against his beliefs. Thankfully he was ripped to pieces like the sack of shit he is for pulling a stunt like that, and the couple won out anyway.
But on a sort of related note, my wife told me that on the news a study had found that children raised by a man/woman generally "flourished more" (whatever that means) than those raised by same sex couples. This surprised me, I thought there was no difference. Does anyone have reliable info on this? Feel free to send me a private message.

And undoubtedly these days, a backsliding, apostate, heretical, craven, cherry picking and intermittent christian.
Damn, they need to bump up their game !!
Yeah, he voted right after stoning himself to death for working on a Sunday.

That's a risky approach anyway. Wasn't the judge handling the Kitzmiller v Dover case a conservative, which led some to believe that he'd support the inclusion of ID in schools? He shot it down instead. Trying to intimidate judges this way could turn out very differently than anticipated.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
Congress critters seem to be confused by nominees with higher ethics than themselves.

I don't, but I can see how your parents being stigmatized could be an issue.
