Alabama Tea Party Justice Compares DADT Judge to Al Qaeda

An Alabama supreme court justice has compared the federal judge who ruled "don't ask, don't tell" unconstitutional to Al Qaeda, Think Progress reports.

"Liberal judges are at it again," Justice Tom Parker, a Tea Party candidate who was first elected to the court in 2004, said in a recent campaign ad.

"Recently, U.S. district judge Virginia Phillips ordered a worldwide injunction to overturn the 'don’t ask, don’t tell' policy on homosexuals serving in the military," he said. "With a stroke of a pen, this Clinton-appointed judge, who got her law degree at Berkeley, unilaterally made the biggest single change in military policy in American history. ... Most people believe that Al Qaeda is one of America’s biggest security threats. I think it’s time to add liberal activist judges like Judge Phillips to that list."

    • For once the Tea party makes sense, the WH administration wants to end DADT but not through "libertarian" judicial activism (That's what gave us Citizens United), but though well thought out, meaningful discussion. We are still at two wars stared by Bush people, we need to think about how it will effect the men on the ground.

      Stop Judicial Activism!
      Stop Citizens United!
      Stop DADT!

    • Yeah, because nothing's more threatening to national security than knowing which ones are the gay ones.

      "With a stroke of a pen, this Clinton-appointed judge, who got her law degree at Berkeley, unilaterally made the biggest single change in military policy in American history"

      The biggest single change in military policy?
      Why do judges and politicians who affiliate themselves with tea ignore facts and logic?
      How about the all volunteer force?
      Or the lack of segregation?

    • It is something that cannot be removed from the human mind. Discrimination will always be a genetic predisposition of any living creature, to be wary of another living creature that significantly differs in appearance and behavior. It is a defense mechanism that cannot be altered by anything but the threat of social ostracizing. Humans are social creatures by nature, and the threat of no one talking to them, or being with them because of being labeled a bigot or racist is frightening to those without a spine and will be herded with the mass's social trend and political correctness.Have you ever been in a public class-room where the teacher was not allowed to assign seating? I was, and the kids divided almost instantaneously by race, and gender.

      This is even more apparent during recess, in the younger years of a child's existence. Before the teachers REALLY slam the propaganda into their skulls.

      This is the disobedience of the natural laws of nature.

    • I thought the greatest change in military history was letting negros serve with white people. Or the all volunteer army.

    • The picture above depicts Tom Parker with two local hate group leaders. One is Leonard Wilson, a segregationist and national board member of a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens that has described African-Americans as “a retrograde species of humanity.” The other is Mike Whorton, Alabama state leader of the neo-Confederate League of the South.

    • Seeing as how Alabama ranked the 8th dumbest state in the Nation, this does not surprise me. He's probably still pissed about desegregation in schools.

    • This has been going on for a long time already, with cases all over the spectrum. I think there is a real problem with assigning this level of power with one unelected official and that the problem needs to be addressed. We have laws in which a large elected body passes plus the will of the voters that put them there and yet one man can veto it? Not even the President can do that.

      remember, the founding fathers wanted it like that. they we're terriffied that a tyranical majority would make and pass laws to oppress and restrict various minorities and have the nation run by mob rule. They also built into our wonderful check and balance system a balance to that.
