Is Judge Vance Day anti-gay AND anti-Semitic?

Here's an update to my earlier blog about Judge Vance Day, the Marion County (Salem, Oregon) judge currently being investigated after he announced he would not perform same-gender marriages.

It now turns out that the allegations against him from staffers cross into WTF territory. He required a picture of Hitler to be on the wall, and alleges he did it to honor Veterans!

Oregon judge: Hitler photo was hung to honor veterans

According to a KOIN6 online article, "A judicial assistant working under Judge Day said he hung pictures in her work space even though she expressed that she did not want them."

The article goes on to report that court documents reveal: “When his judicial assistant removed the items while Judge Day was on vacation, Judge Day told her that he is a ‘benevolent dictator’ and that she ‘works at his pleasure.'”

Marion Co. judge accused of ethical misconduct

On Monday, November 9, 2015 at 9:00 a.m., there will be a Public Hearing at the Willamette Heritage Center, Dye House, 1313 Mill Street SE, Salem, Oregon.

Before Judge Day gets his day in court, let's hope the people of Marion County demand justice be served and insist this judge be benched from the bench.

When in Rome...

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

Kim Davis and her minions display hypocrisy and ignorance of the very tenets they preach. She and they claim to be following their god's "word" with their beliefs and actions. They are being rather selective as to which bible passages they follow and which they ignore. 

How is it that I, an Atheist, understand Romans 13; New International Version, yet bigots who broadcast their alleged devotion to Christian principles do not?

Judge not lest ye be judged

Today a Marion County Judge in Salem, Oregon has announced that he will not perform civil union marriages to same-gender couples. He cites it goes against his alleged First Amendment right to religious freedom.

Looking behind him, one wonders if he thinks it's still 1859, given his antiquated thinking and prejudices. Meet Judge Vance D. Day, with the initials: V.D. Day.

Krazy Kentucky Klerk sent to the slammer!

Today, U.S. District Judge Bunning of Kentucky — ordered Kim Davis to jail until she agrees to do her job according to the oath she took to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, this fame-seeking bigot getting paid $70,000 per year to not do her job, is now a martyr for the religious right. 

A Higher Hire Authority

Despite the Supreme Court's ruling, Kim Rowan, the ignorant bigoted Kentucky clerk, still refuses to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. When asked under whose authority, she responded, "God's." It seems Rowan is guilty of copyright infringement.
