'SC judge takes himself off of marriage equality case' and other Friday midday news briefs

EXCLUSIVE: Judge bows out of SC gay marriage suit - Well this is interesting. The judge overseeing the SC marriage equality case has himself removed because as a member of the executive board of the Indian Waters Council of the Boy Scouts of America, he voted for the policy to admit gay Boy Scouts, but not gay Scout leaders. It should give you an indication to just how HOT this case is going to be.

While I disagree with his vote to exclude gay scout leaders, without knowing the reasons for his vote, I'm not certain his vote is grounds for disqualification. Judges are permitted to have opinions on issues as long as their decisions in the cases they decide are based on the law and not their personal opinions. If, on the other hand, he felt he could not decide impartially based on the law, that requires disqualification.
