In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Federal Judge Upholds Louisiana's Ban On Same-Sex Marriage [View all]PDittie
(8,322 posts)36. The case for Feldman's impeachment was made in 1010
The BRAD BLOG's legal analyst and attorney Ernie Canning offered a damning case for Feldman's impeachment in 2010, after he struck down the federal moratorium on off-shore drilling instituted in the Gulf of Mexico following the deadly 2010 BP oil disaster there.
As Canning detailed at the time, despite financial holdings in the oil industry that would have been directly affected by his own ruling, Feldman failed to properly disclose those conflicts of interest and recuse himself from the case.
"Despite having served as a federal judge for 27 years, Judge Feldman is unfit to sit in judgment of others," Canning wrote in response to the evidence in June of that year. "The only appropriate recourse is for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, who takes his or her oath of office seriously, to introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Martin Leach-Cross Feldman."

OP
But isn't that unconstitutional and doesn't Federal law supercede State law?

The Supreme Court has not yet made a final definitive ruling on the issue.

U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman clearly has failed to see the writing on the wall...

We need a bakery, catering service, or some other gay owned/operated business to get in this mix.

I disagree with his ruling too, and I am confident that it will eventually be overturned.
