This represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. I would be blind not to call it out," said Young, who was appointed by former US president Ronald Reagan, a Republican. "I've been on the bench for 40 years " I've never seen government racial discrimination like this."

The demented sack of---------- is as racist as he is traitorous.

"Why isn't this the legal basis of the Judges opinion?"
