What about being "radically gay?"
What is "radically gay" and how do you see it affecting one's judgment.
As far as how one knows - this judge was appointed by the Bush administration and the appointment was opposed by gay rights groups due to his history on the subject.

Easy - But then should a straight, married judge recuse himself if the subject is capital gains or estate taxes as they pertain to a married couple? Could he be a parent and make a decision about parental rights? While I understand your point, judges surely rule on cases that affect groups in which they belong today, don't they?

Exactly, this is so stupid. There isn't a "gay test" to being a judge, or a "straight text" more correctly. In fact, Thurgood Marshal delivered Brown vs Board of Education and a female justice (whose name has slipped my mind) passed delivered the opinion of the Court in Roe v Wade.
