Of Judges and Pop Stars
Australian High Court Judge Praises Anthony Callea.
There's two reasons to click on this link. The first is to read this quote in context: "I'd trade 10 judges for one pop star."
The second is because I met the High Court Justice in reference, Justice Michael Kirby, and he's quite a nice man. I saw him address an audience full of lawyers and judges at the Bombay High Court, in a speech that urged India's High Court to strike down the country's anti-sodomy law.
Cool to see an openly gay judge, too, sitting on Australia's High Court. I hear he deals with all sorts of political bullshit on the Court, but kudos to him for still speaking out. Imagine a SCOTUS justice being fully out! My God, if Sam Brownback will withhold someone's nomination just for attending a same-sex commitment ceremony, imagine how apeshit he'd go if a gay person was nominated to the bench.
Add that to the list of things I want to see in my lifetime.
