Judge who ordered mom to protect child from homophobia won't be impeached
A Colorado judge who ruled that ex-lesbian Cheryl Clark must protect her adopted child from "homophobic" religious doctrine will not be impeached, a House committee ruled Tuesday. The House Judiciary Committee voted down Rep. Greg Brophy's impeachment resolution 8-3 after a majority found that Denver District Judge John Coughlin did not abuse his office in the custody ruling between a lesbian and Clark, who joined a church and renounced being a lesbian. House committee chairwoman Rep. Lynn Hefley said Brophy and his two witnesses, who were heard last week, did not make their case that Coughlin should be impeached. "I think, quite frankly, that he acted with compassion," she said.
