Judge slams anti-gay former state attorney for trying to short-circuit lawsuit
Source: Detroit FreePress

Shirvell, who is representing himself, was in federal court trying get Tarnow to throw out the majority of a lawsuit filed against him by Christopher Armstrong, the former student body president of the University of Michigan.

In his suit, Armstrong claims that Shirvell, among other things, inflicted intentional emotional harm through his actions during Armstrong’s senior year, when Shirvell wrote a blog highly critical of Armstrong’s homosexual lifestyle, including accusing him of getting minors to drink alcohol and trying recruit others to become homosexuals.

Shirvell has countersued, saying he’s the victim and that Armstrong is responsible for his recent professional troubles. Shirvell was fired by the state Attorney General’s Office in November for using his state computer to update the blog and then lying to investigators about it.

2. "Shirvell has asked a judge to compel Armstrong
to answer questions about his sex life and religious beliefs..."

How would that be relevant and not an excuse to start crowing in the courtroom about some sort of "homosexual agenda"?

3. Another case of blaming others for your problems,
Problems you created in the first place.
