This is the judge that just pissed on the state constitution and desecrated the intent of the US Constitution's 14th amendment.
Geez. This is a good judge in their opinion, because they expect a ruling in favor of homosexual marriage.
They expect this judge to rule for homosexual marriage. That’s why they are so happy with this choice.
What's wrong with this picture?
I used to think this was true (back around the turn of the century. Now it is clear that we are so far past it that the only thing missing is courage and a “nothing to lose attitude, which more and more americans are gaining every single day:
“America is at that awkward stage: It’s too late to work within the system and too early to shoot the ba$tard$.”

No Christian clergyman should ever sign a state marriage license. (Yes, perform the religious ceremony...but keep it distinct from the State registration process)
If they don’t, there is going to be some court case at some point in time ordering clergy to perform “same sex marriages”. The justification being that they act as an agent of the State when they sign the licenses and, therefore, are not allowed to discriminate against that “protected class.”
I am 100% certain about the above happening within the next 5-10 years. I am almost as certain that the same court will not allow them to stop signing licenses, as in doing so, they would be attempting to thwart the court’s decision.
And, no, I’m not holding my breath waiting for any clergyman (much less Catholic clergy) to take my advice.
A state judge declaring her own constitution to be unconstitutional. Attorneys acting like that is appropriate. Completely lawless - they should all be disbarred.
