The anti equal rights crowd is getting desperate if this is the best argument they can come up with
Pfft!!!!! …. ROFLMFAO!!!! (cuvinny must be an escaped mental patient).
Yep! They don’t seem to realize that based upon their reasoning, they should be crying wolf in virtually all cases before the Supreme Court, since those who most commonly advocate before the Supreme Court were clerks to current Supreme Court justices….
“We’re not questioning whether Gergel’s ruling was correct … nor are we accusing Burnette of doing anything improper.”
Then what is the purpose of your sub headline?
This is simply more of your BS innuendo.
Ban news for this lawyer and Judge. Very bad, indeed. Serious conflict of interest.
Yep, regardless of anyone’s feelings on the issue of gov’t banning gay marriage, the fact that neither recused themselves when they obviously should have is yet another sad statement on the “justus” system.

Just shows the GOP must purge the corruption that saturates our government. Then fumigate.
Shortly after FITS got elected w King Sanford..he divulged that he’d just as soon work for dangerous Democrat jim hodges.
We’ll not begin to clean up this mess til we mutilate the filth that owns our offices and courts.
Purge the corruption? You cheerlead for it on a daily basis.
Stop flogging this non-story. Your attempts to frame it as a scandal are laughable.
Who cares? The higher courts already scoffed at Wilson, this is dead and buried as it is.
It’s a trap!
The correct term for religions is Holy Matrimony, according to the Sacraments.
Marriage is a Legal term to which churches have no jurisdiction
Yes, I know we are all slopy in our use of the term marriage. Hence go check yoir sacraments for the correct terminolgy. I think it will also clarify where religion has jurisdiction.
Give up.Fits doesn’t get it.
People in SC’s legal community have worked together before? That’s unbelievable!
Landmark ruling? How so? This case was just like the dozen or so that had been been decided recently. The fourth circuit court had already made our amendment moot. Even the Roberts court had rejected appeals. Just because Attorney General, and state pin head, Wilson chose to waste state resources to go to court and appeal in order to garner support for his next statewide race, does not make this a landmark ruling. It is more akin to tilting at windmills with other people’s money.
Total BS story. Almost every judge practiced law at some point. His former partners are not banned from having cases before him. He must recuse himself if he represented one of the litigants in a case, but there is no conflict of interest just because a litigant is represented by a former partner. Note the word “former.” This is just stupid.
Idiotic story by non-lawyer who doesn’t understand conflict of interest rules.
Unless the judge is sharing in the profits of the lawyer’s present firm [highly unlikely], there is no conflict of interest.
