Judge Thomas Fox of Lincoln, NE; homophobic bigot

 

The state of Nebraska presented Tommy with a law license in 1998 after he graduated from the University of Nebraska Law School.

 

Former Gov. Dave Heineman was duped into appointing Tommy as a Lancaster County Judicial District Court judge in 2012. Tommy didn’t receive the appointment because he was the most qualified attorney in the LA area. She received it because she had proven to be a reliable lackey for the local political hacks.

 

In one matter, Tommy sought an ethics opinion from the Nebraska Judicial Ethics Committee, which asked whether a judge could disqualify himself from hearing cases wherein same-sex married couples are trying to adopt a child if the judge is an "openly professing and practicing evangelical Christian ... (who) believes God has ordained and designed the family to be made up of a husband, a wife, and children.”

 

The Ethics Committee responded to Tommy’s bigoted inquiry by stating that a judge could not disqualify himself or herself from adoption cases because of a married couple's sexual orientation based on strongly held religious beliefs.

 

Rather than comply with the Ethics Committee’s opinion that would have prohibited Tommy the Bigot from disqualifying himself in cases involving adoptions involving same-sex couples, Tommy decided to resign at the end of his four-year term in December 2016.

 

I say good riddance to Tommy the Homophobic Bigot.

 

Tommy shouldn’t have experience any difficulty in finding new employment after December 2016. I’m sure that he could find a job as a doorman at the Office Gentleman’s Club on Q Street in Lincoln. And if that doesn’t pan out he could become a self-employed hair dresser by enrolling at the College of Hair Design at South 11th Street in Lincoln.

 

As we speak (ca. July 2016) Tommy continues to sit as a Lancaster County District Court judge in Lincoln, Nebraska.
