Richmond,VA Circuit Court appoints openly gay judge

Personal Message:
Public opinion, even among Republicans, has shifted over the judgship I wrote you about.  That jackass fundamentalist Marshall ran against George Allen for the Republican senatorial nomination and got less than 7 per cent of the vote last Tuesday.  The letter from the heads of the top five law firms in Richmond helped.  I wrote a letter to the state on-line Repubican lewspaper calling the denial of this appointment cheap and mean, and a move that severely damaged the Republican brand before next November's elections.  I think this guy will keep his place on the bench.
