Utah judge removes himself from the gay adoption case

Judge Scott Johansen, the Utah judge who refused to grant adoption to the lesbian couple (see ShrinkRap, Nov. 13, 2015), then later responded to protests by delaying the removal of the foster-care baby from their home, has finally taken the appropriate step:   He has removed himself from the case and will be replaced by another judge.

That was a  wise  smart decision on his part. (Second thought:  changed "wise" to "smart";  not sure he has any wisdom.)  His bias, rationalized by willful misinformation, was simply unacceptable in 2015 following the landmark SCOTUS decision that marriage equality is the law throughout the United States.

Perhaps this helped Johansen to make that smart decision to step aside:  There was talk of impeachment circulating in Utah.
