Senator Brownback's latest delusion

This NY Times editorial about Senator Brownback's absurdly ridiculous attack of a judge's nomination to the federal bench simply for her attendance of a neighbor's daughter's same-sex commitment ceremony made an excellent point:
Mr. Brownback says that although he will allow Judge Neff’s nomination to come to a vote, he is still likely to vote against her. If he does, he should be asked to explain his vote if he hits the presidential campaign trail. Whether someone has attended a same-sex commitment ceremony is not a worthy litmus test to impose on someone seeking an important office. Whether someone holds hateful views toward gay people certainly is.
What business does this man have into what a person does with her personal life? Hell, this was a girl who lived next door to the judge and whom she saw grow up and whom she loved. Why shouldn't she attend her "marriage" even if to another girl? I could understand Mr. Brownback's outrage if Ms. Neff had officiated the ceremony, but attending? C'mon.

And this guy wants to run for the presidency? God help us all if he get elected.
