First Openly Gay Man Recommended For Federal Judge
New York Senator Chuck Schumer is recommending that President Obama nominate Daniel Alter as a federal judge. And what's so amazeballs is that he's openly gay - and he would be our first!!!
“His outstanding leadership skills, his commitment to justice, and his extensive experience make him an exceptional choice for a position on the federal bench,” said Schumer. “I’m proud to nominate Daniel Alter. Period. But I am equally proud to nominate him because he is a history-maker who will be the first openly gay male judge in American history.”
Alter is also unbelievably qualified! He hailed from Columbia College and went on to Yale Law School. Alter served six years as an assistant U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York and as the national director of the Anti-Defamation League's civil rights division.
We hope it happens!

You just want him to handle your briefs.
If you're lucky, he'll be on the bench for your Boy Band pedophile case.
Big fucking deal. If you're so into statistics do tell who was the first openly straight male recommended for federal judge? Betcha can't.
No clever dick & cum scrawlings on his photo???
look he is fucking ugly and i could careless what the us does but protection we need it of course i could discriminate all i want baby!!!
Re: PENNSYLVANIA GIRL – You're a moron. Heterosexual white men aren't an oppressed minority.
You want him only because he is gay? That's pathetic.
Perez, this is where you and those who are like minded engage in disservice to real issues (ie. marriage equality). The ONLY reason someone should be nominated as a federal judge is because they are the most qualified for the postion. Their sexual preference shouldn't have anything to do with the outcome (whether they are straight, gay or bi!). The same applies to you calling out those you believe to be gay. Anderson Cooper is a prime example. He's a fantastic journalist! Who cares what his sexual preference is as far as a life mate goes? It's because you make such a federal case out of people's private lives that you and those like you actually contribute to impeding progress for gay civil rights. Spirit has no gender in non physical form.
Appointed to the bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1989 U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker is gay.
First off, you're dumb, you mean Columbia University, Columbia College is a art school in Chicago where people who can't handle a real university go to "college". Second, Chicklette, U.S. District Judge is different than the federal, Supreme Court you dumbass! Lastly, Canuck girl, it DOES matter that he is homosexual because they are appointed to their position for life! A conservative asshole who thinks equality for all is wrong and that pro-life is the only choice will fuck up this country even more than it already is!
Re: hateyoubutimaddicted – Sorry, you lost me hateyoubutimaddicted. Why does his sexual orientation matter? How is it threatening you?
Re: hateyoubutimaddicted – Pull your head out of your ass. There is not an opening on the U.S. Supreme Court. And U.S. District Judge = Federal Judge.
Again, this is non-sensical news!!! Gay marriage? Somethings wrong with your brains, ppl.
Yes! get with it USA!!
It is time to catch up with the rest of the civilized countries in the world.
Re: Ca9 –
Tell that to the Tea Party!!!
Who cares if he's gay? I don't get all that… "the first gay, the birst black, the first (fill in the blank)." They are just PEOPLE. What is the big deal? Is he expecting some sort of special treatment or something? He's a PERSON- just like black people, white people, people who wear yellow shirts…………
Oh wait- I ate a devil dog for breakfast… was I THE FIRST one EVER to do that?? Well then pat me on the back too.
Ugh. Enough already.
This is where you make me sick. You keep going on and on about "equal rights" yet you root for people whom you have no idea about their qualifications to have unfair advantages simply because they are homosexual?
I am getting so sick of this site.
