Judge Who Ruled that Virginia’s Anti-Gay-Marriage Amendment is Unconstitutional Was Confirmed 96-0

In a detail that's likely to make homophobic heads explode, it turns out that Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen - who issued the ruling that Virginia's anti-gay-marriage amendment is unconstituational, was confirmed 96-0 by the U.S. Senate. Those voting to confirm Judge Wright included the following right-wing Republican U.S. Senators (note that Paul and Rubio are both likely 2016 Republican presidential contenders): *Rand Paul *Marco Rubio *Jim DeMint *Mitch McConnell *James Inhofe *Tom Coburn Also voting "yea" were Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner of Virginia. Thank you to everyone - even the homophobic Republicans - who voted to confirm this superb judge! :)
