That’s essentially what the assholes representing, umm, someone (not sure who) argued when trying to appeal the decision invalidating Prop. 8 in California. (source)
<blockquote>Lawyers for a coalition of religious conservative groups met a skeptical audience in the three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as they argued that now-retired Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker should have revealed that he had a long-term male partner. (source) </blockquote>
The argument is essentially that Walker stood to benefit from Prop. 8 being overturned, therefore he should have been disqualified from the case.
So you female judges out there, just step on down from any case involving sex discrimination. No black judges on affirmative action cases. And so on…
