Sam Brownback wants to be the leading gay basher in the Republican party. He's got a lot of competition. This year, he's been harassing a federal judge nominee who attended a same-sex commitment ceremony in 2002:
Sen. Sam Brownback, who wants to champion social conservatives in the presidential race, said Tuesday he wants a Senate panel to re-question a judicial nominee who attended a same-sex union ceremony.This is what Brownback thinks it takes to lead the Republican party. His inquisition should serve as a notice to any Republican who sends a baby gift or goes to a baby shower for Mary Cheney. Sam Brownback is watching you. If he can make a big deal out of a low-key private commitment ceremony, imagine what he can do with a very high profile lesbian birth. Don't apply for any federal jobs if you are honoring that baby's birth. Brownback will make vilify you. His gay obsession is peculiar to say the least. But, this is what happens when the haters run the party. That's what Mary Cheney worked so hard for.
Brownback, a Kansas Republican, said he wants Michigan state judge Janet Neff to testify about her role in the 2002 Massachusetts ceremony, her legal views on same-sex unions and her ability to be impartial if called upon to rule on such cases.
