So... if a judge doesn't think races should intermingle, he can refuse to marry an interracial couple? Is the Loving decision back on the table?

Hey if the judge is Atheist, can he refuse to marry religious nuts because they're just gonna make more nutcackes?

Well of course we shouldn't force anyone to get married, judges or otherwise.

Hey, I'm a Texan, born and raised! And in defense of me and my like-minded friends, fuck Texas!

There are lots of great Texans. Unfortunately they aren't the ones calling the shots.

Guess this means US Court is next, and they have to solemnly shrug their hands and say "sorry, gotta overturn another precedent."

This fucking timeline.

If my religion forbids flying in airplanes, that means I shouldn't become a pilot. And if I do become a pilot, I can't suddenly start demanding that all the planes I'm in charge of just taxi across the country instead. My religious freedom means that I don't have to be a pilot and I don't have to be on a plane. It doesn't mean that I get to decide how planes work for other people.

Many such cases of religious people "accidentally" "confusing" the difference between these two scenarios.

Sex being a binary, legal identifier is so outdated anyway.

At least any old schmuck can become ordained online in minutes and legally marry people
