its clearly not the childs mum ,as this child would not been of able to suck from her teat,this is you trying to state that she is the mum,so now i am correcting you.
its clear this child is being used as a pro-lgbt rights case ,that is unfair on the child and you really should be ashamed of yourselfs.
and again they are not the mum or mums of this child.

i have no bias ,its you with the bias.
you again stated "its two mums trying to get their daughter back" the child is not their daughter fact!!!
whats with your constant deception?
why are you wording your posts to constantly imply false hoods?
when i see a child being fought over for political or religious reasons of course i am going to state my opinion.

we can not be sure of the birth mothers past or present history!
she could well be a crack addict or a prostitute !
she may have been payed by the couple !
we are missing so much information that it is difficult to ascertain the true history as to why this has come to be,
the only thing that really matters is the child and that being the subject of multiple court cases is not good.
anyway i have said my piece you lot can keep arguing about the life of a child.

And it's not the first time he's imposed his personal opinion onto the people he "serves".
Oh, it bothers you when people do that? I guess the left can do it but no one else?
You mad, bro?
I think you're missing her point. A judges personal "opinion" does not belong behind the bench. They are to interpret the law, and apply it to the case at hand. Nothing more. They can give their personal opinion, but they aren't supposed to rule from it. A bit different than what you're talking about.
Ah, got it. The law is open to interpretation by a left-leaning judge, but not by a right-leaning one. Understood.

Perhaps the issue is that you support judges curtailing individual liberties. In the US, that is generally frowned upon by any real American, whereas judges who rule based on a protection of liberties are favored. So, are you saying that it is ok for a "right-leaning judge" to interpret law in such a way as to protect the rights and equality of individuals, or are you saying it should be ok for a "right-leaning judge" to curtail individuals' rights based on his personal opinion?
I don't see this as an example of a "right-leaning judge" protecting individual freedom, I see it as a judge who is blaspheming the Constitution of the United States of America and every man and woman who has ever served in the military, imposing his own personal opinion in the process of curtailing individual liberties.
I do feel as though I may have it backward though – I mean, you are referring to a judge who believes it is government’s business to curtail the rights and freedoms of individuals as a “right-leaning judge.” I thought “Conservative” meant government should not interfere in the lives of private citizens. This judge strikes me more as a deep, hardcore left-wing, big-government ultra-liberal, with social-conservative leanings.

Note what I said: It is the judges job to interpret the law in relation to the case at hand. Whether he is left or right leaning is irrelevant if he is doing his job properly.
Agreed, but it doesn't always work that way, does it?
When the SCOTUS decides a case, what is the result called? An OPINION.
It's actually a DECISION. The opinion is written to explain the decision. Because opinions don't carry actual legal weight, whereas decisions, orders, etc do.
Semantics and such.

I am saying that all people should be equal in the eyes of the law, and currently they are not. The "protected classes" that the left have created get more legal latitude than everyone else. It is true and you know damn well it is.
Of course I expect yo to deflect and say something like "What does that have to do with THIS case?"
If you notice, I never said I thought the judge was right or wrong. I just asked the OP how it feels to have someone jam their opinion down your throat. Ask the owners of the bakery who was awarded to pay some ridiculous amount for honoring their religion. Oh, tolerance is just dandy as long as you don't piss off some gays or trannies.
and if he was ,would that disqualify him of the office of Judge ? what are the perimeters we need to put on such positions as a society ?
Text(for all we know the judge might be the dad and the mum a street hooker who got paid by the two who wanted to adopt)
too bad the mom fell short on the basics of raising a child but cudo's for her other ability to recognize" love" ..something is missing to this case that we may not be privy to ,I suspect .
And kudos to the birth mom for recognizing a loving family and choosing happiness for her child.
