Another Dubious Judicial Appointment

Massachusetts Gov. Duval Patrick has appointed lesbian activist and lawyer Maureen Monks as associate justice of the Middlesex Probate and Family Court.

Monks was sworn in and formally assumed her position Friday despite the Massachusetts Governor's Council's recorded 4-4 vote denying confirmation. Monks was required to win 5 votes to be confirmed by the council.

Monks, 49, a co-chair of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, is an advocate for "gay" and women's rights. She has represented homosexuals pro bono for Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders. This "association" is where all her glowing recommendations come from.

Righto... this lesbian advocate is going to judge issues in a family court where cases involving those horrid men - with their disgusting sexual habits - are involved? Contrary to her claims, records show she has represented only one man in court, while representing hundreds of women.

Here is a dissenting view worth reading.

note: I tried for an hour to find a photo of this humanoid female, but she is apparantly camera shy and does not want to be recognized by anyone outside her professional and sexual preference circles.
