From the WTF?!?! Files.

The pretzel-brained bigots over at One News Now always manage to make me want to bang my head against the wall in utter frustration. They’ve done it yet again with this piece of hypocritical tripe.
A federal court has ruled against the Library of Congress for refusing to hire a transgendered person.
The American Civil Liberties Union says the ruling sends a message to employers everywhere that if they fire or refuse to hire someone for transitioning to another gender, they can be held liable. Mat Staver, dean of Liberty University’s law school and founder of Liberty Counsel, believes the decision is outrageous.
“This is why there needs to be sanity within our legal system with regards to this homosexual agenda, which will literally undermine the whole concept of law and the rule of law,” Staver contends. “And it also underscores why we need judges on the bench who will judge and not legislate their own ideology.”
…..
Staver hopes voters will keep in mind when they go into the voting booths in November that the next president will likely appoint several new justices.
Right. So a judge that legislates from the standpoint that refusing to hire a person because you don’t approve of their gender identity/expression (their sexual orientation, etc.) is illegal is “legislating their own ideology”. But Staver no doubt thinks that it’s perfectly fine for a judge to use “Biblical values” and a “Christian viewpoint” when making decisions. How is that not “legislating their own ideology”?
Please, if somebody could explain it to me like I were a half-witted five-year-old I would greatly appreciate it. I just can’t seem to think clearly right now because I’ve been banging my head against the wall for the past ten minutes.
