David French: “Gaming the System: Judge Diane Wood’s dissent in CLS v. Walker”

ADF Attorney David French writing at NRO Phi Beta Cons: “With talk that Seventh Circuit judge Diane Wood may be a contender for a Supreme Court nomination, and against the backdrop of reports of her blatant expressed hostility against orthodox Christian viewpoints, it’s vital to show how that hostility played out in at least one important opinion. As Ed Whelan reported earlier on NRO, at the oral argument in Christian Legal Society v. Walker, she accused CLS of believing gays were ‘less than fully human,’ and then turned her back on my ADF colleague [Greg Baylor] when he responded with the argument that all human beings are ‘created in God’s image,’ but God ‘set down rules for righteous living.’ (Which happens to have been standard Jewish then Judeo/Christian theology for a few thousand years.)”
