The Oregon judge facing an ethics investigation after he allegedly refused to marry same-sex couples is also under scrutiny for hanging a photo of Adolf Hitler in his courthouse.

Reuters reported Wednesday that Marion County Judge Vance Day was hit with complaints of displaying a picture of Hitler in the county courthouse and allowing a veteran to handle a firearm despite being having a felony conviction, in addition to the complaint for not performing same-sex marriages. The state's Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability announced the complaints in a Tuesday notice, according to Reuters.

A spokesman for Day dismissed the complaint about the Hitler photo and told the news outlet that the judge was honoring World War II veterans, not the Nazi dictator.

Can you imagine what would have happened to this idiot if this happened...say 60 years ago..say in 1955 when memory of WWII was still alive and fresh? What a complete senseless jerk.

another link that shows the picture from several angles, and gives Day's side of this controversy. (the picture is not just a picture of Hitler, but the judge says it is really a memorial to a soldier who fought against Hitler..look for yourself)

1. Aaaaaaaack

2. He's probably no worse than the rest of the fundie, Repubican pack. . . .

The only difference is that they're not stupid enough to post a picture of Hitler in public. I'm sure they all agree with him though.

3. I've posted a link to the picture.

It kinda supports the Judge who says it was not just a picture of Hitler.

4. Wouldn't be surprised if that pic was taken from Germany by one of our soldiers, and then

covered with mementos. That's not the first one I've seen, and the other was in the home of a paratrooper who fought in several battles.

But his very passionate refusal to marry his neighbors means he needs to change or be replaced.

5. Maybe he don't want to be a judge no more.
