“I would expect any member of our church who serves on the judiciary to interpret and apply the law as it stands.”

Conservative Christian activist Jack Thompson — who once had to prove his sanity to the Florida Supreme Court (and has his own listing in Wikipedia) — isn’t crazy about Robert Kuntz’s candidacy for Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge.

Thompson is fuming that Kuntz, 50, an attorney who is an elder at Old Cutler Presbyterian Church in Palmetto Bay, sought and accepted an endorsement from Unity Coalition, a local Hispanic gay-rights group…

Stephen Clark, senior pastor at Old Cutler Presbyterian, said he has no problem with Kuntz’s Unity Coalition endorsement.

“I would expect any member of our church who serves on the judiciary to interpret and apply the law as it stands. My feeling is that his having explained this to them, they saw his competence and integrity and endorsed him. I think very highly about Robert. For me, it’s as simple as that.”

On the questionnaire, Kuntz stated: “I can say that I believe every human being is entitled autonomy, dignity and self determination and that these rights are protected by the United States Constitution and Declaration of Rights of Florida Constitution.”

Unity Coalition Chairman Herb Sosa said he and his group were satisfied with Kuntz’s responses both in writing and during an in-person screening. “His answers were genuine and positions were something we were comfortable with,” said Sosa.
