Judge Mary Kay Costello made history on Tuesday when she became the 12th Senate-confirmed LGBTQ+ judge appointed by President Joe Biden.

The Senate voted 52-42 to confirm Costello after a day-long hearing. She’ll now sit on the bench of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Her confirmation helped Biden set a new record, topping both the Obama administration and Biden administration’s previously tied record of appointing 11 out LGBTQ+ judges. The 11 other LGBTQ+ judges appointed by Biden each represent diverse backgrounds and identities.

Costello is married to a woman and lives in Philadelphia with two kids. She previously served in the U.S. Air Force and was honorably discharged as a staff sergeant. She received her law degree from Temple University, where she served in private practice as a lawyer for the firm Saul Ewing and also Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. She then served as an assistant attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The 12 judges’ appointments beat out former President Bill Clinton, who had a single gay judicial nominee, as well as former President Donald Trump, who had two gay judicial nominees.

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s Democratic majority said on X: “CONFIRMED: Mary Kay Costello to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Ms. Costello exhibits a breadth of experience and a strong dedication to public service. She’s ready to serve as a federal judge.”

Lena Zwarensteyn, senior director of the Fair Courts Program at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said in an email statement to LGBTQ Nation, “For far too long, federal judges have disproportionately been white, male, straight, and cisgender, and they have possessed very narrow legal experiences. This is finally changing, and for good reason: Having more judges, including openly LGBTQ judges, who come from all of our communities helps to build more trust in the judiciary and brings vitally important perspectives into our justice system.”

“The selection of openly LGBTQ judges also sends a powerful signal to young LGBTQ lawyers, law students, and other potential future judges that they belong on the federal bench and in positions of power,” Zwarensteyn continued. “We cannot underestimate the incredible role-modeling impact that this has on young people who will see a clearer path to the judiciary,”

Philadelphia is the closest approximation to biblical hell mankind has ever seen. This judge exists to usher urban youths through obligatory legal processing so they can deal more drugs.

I thought it was Detroit or South Chicago who was the closest approximation to biblical hell instead of Philly.
 
LGBTQ Nation is owned by Q Digital, which lists among its clients major media companies, payment processors, multibillion dollar corporations, and Amtrak, which is interesting because Amtrak is effectively owned by the federal government.

Just what does being LGBT+ have to do with them being a judge? Being LGBT means nothing when it comes to being a judge. Being a judge's what is important. That's like thinking hiring non-white police officers and firing the white ones will magically solve police brutality or something. This isn't something special because a judge's sexuality/orientation will be the last thing for anyone to care about. Stop focusing on the labels of someone and focus on the fact that they're even capable of what they want to pursue in. Being LGBT or a minority means nothing. Your competence in doing the bare minimum, aka, your job, should be what matters more.

I'd rather have white, straight, cisgender men who know what they're doing than a minority who was appointed to the job to fill up the government's diversity quota. What will it exactly do for the justice system? Who will even care about this other than the targeted demographic? This isn't some history breaking thing. Not saying the judge didn't deserve it, no, but I just want people to announce new, competent judges—not letting us know who they're holding hands with.

Much like having dementia having alphabet-itis is a sure sign you're not of sound mind.

If the first and only notable thing you've got going is your genitals you're a fucking braindead crazed stooge, most likely. Like the current sitting president who confirmed his fellow traveler in mental disorder.

Democrats try to pretend that Christians are incapable of ruling fairly due to their religion, meanwhile they install as many Wokeists as possible. I'm sure this dyke will dole out proper judgements and be totally impartial, even on matters involving faggotry.

It means that they are self-absorbed narcissists who worship their own intellect, and therefore will rule however they want because they know better than anyone
