Actually, you should know and youd better care.
Let me explain why through an analogy. Lets say you live in a repressive Middle Eastern country where homosexual beliefs can lead to arrest, and homosexual behavior can result in execution. You have friends or family you know to be homosexual. You are not homosexual yourself. You dont approve of their inclinations or behavior. But you value them as fellow imperfect human beings whose imperfections are merely different than your own. An acquaintance finds out about your views and asks why you would hold such views or have such scandalous associations. He feels obligated, by law or for fear of discovery, to report you to authorities. These authorities will not tolerate dissent. They move against you. They expose you publicly. You lose your job. Neighbors shun you out of loathing, or if they quietly agree with you, out of fear of being associated with a pariah. Your family receives threats. Your livelihood and reputation are destroyed. Maybe you lose your freedom.
This hypothetical situation in a Muslim country is not so fanciful, is it? We know enough these days about countries where similar persecutions occur daily. Who can forget the television images showing men being thrown off tall buildings, their hands tied behind their backs? Their crimes? Being homosexual. Nobody in these countries who feels for these people dares to speak out. No rights exist in law to hold differing opinions.
We dont live in a terrible place like this, do we? In our country, any of us may freely express our views on any matter. We may support or oppose homosexuality. We may have, or choose not to have, homosexual friends. We may associate, or not associate, in any way we wish with homosexuals or anyone else.

The person or persons in the state agency who are targeting the judge need to be outed and identified. Maybe even treated to a little rough Wyoming cowboy hospitality.
Nothing in the excerpt suggesting why I should care who she is. Either a poorly written story or a poorly chosen excerpt. And since you didn’t comment, it looks like you are just trying to drive hits to a site. Or, as it is known, pimp a blog.
Typical progressive intolerance.
Gay marriage was never about gay marriage. It’s always been about the war on Western values.
That might thrill them, unfortunately.

Yes at some point there will be a ruling that Christians may not hold public office.
We had a recent primary election here in WA and the Republicans didn't even offer an opposition candidate to Ferguson. He ran against a Libertarian and Ferguson won with 73% of the votes cast.
Make that +2.
It has ALWAYS been about personal genital gratification.
“Lets not become another Iran. We can live tolerantly with each other. We need not harness the fearsome power of government to bludgeon those who disagree with us on moral and religious matters.”
But the left doesn’t operate that way. Everyone who dares to think or believe than they do must be punished.
“... never about gay marriage. Its always been about the war on Western values.”
Absolutely correct.
Let's say you live in a politically correct Western country and you want to own a bakery catering to Christians...
“Gay marriage was never about gay marriage. Its always been about the war on Western values.”
“Yes at some point there will be a ruling that Christians may not hold public office.”
The ABA has just stuck its camel’s nose under that tent for some exploratory sniffing. After all, most higher (not better, not smarter, not wiser, not nobler) politicians these days are lawyers.
