Happy Pride! Trump Got His Christian Taliban Nominee Who Hates Gay People, Birth Control, Non-Christians, Joy
Rightwing extremist Matthew Kacsmaryk is set to be confirmed to a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
Kacsmaryk is a Trump nominee to the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
The Northern District covers a large part of the state, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and is home to nearly eight million people.
Kacsmaryk's current job is deputy general counsel to
First Liberty Ins ute, an organization that promotes the belief that Christians in America are just constantly being persecuted.
His nomination is opposed by a myriad of civil rights and public health groups and basically every LGBTQ rights organization.
As noted by Texas Observer writer Michael Barajas,
Matthew Kacsmaryk [has] worked to erode the firewall between church and state as lawyer for the
First Liberty Ins ute, a Christian legal advocacy group that
protects pastors who mobilize their flock to overturn local non-discrimination ordinances,
county clerks who refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses and
anti-abortion centers that trick women into thinking they're walking into actual medical clinics.
Mateer's nomination failed after a 2015 speech surfaced in which he called transgender kids "Satan's spawn" and part of "Satan's plan."
Kacsmaryk's and Mateer's nominations "a clear signal that President Trump intends to make our federal courts the place where civil rights go to die."
Kacsmaryk's greatest hits:
.... wow! Muslim extremists got nothing on this hate-driven Christian Taliban
