If the Democrats had had their way the second time he was nominated (which included Nancy Pelosi, a fact she'll no doubt shove under the rug), we would not have had a gay circuit judge striking down a marriage amendment as unconstitutional.

As an aside, though, he bares a fascinating resemblance to Billy Strayhorn. Sad all the way around.

It's no mystery why the Republicans voted for him. He would've been helping them out by recusing himself on gay marriage issues. The Democrats made the right call, here. Right, Kaleo.

Everything he does is with calculated reason - and Harris' recusal would have been one more tool against the civil rights we are fighting for. He set the tone kicking Wallace off the court - let's not fool ourselves into thinking Christie serves anyone but himself.
