An Obama judge. Mississippi did not stand a chance. The bill should be rewritten to give more people protection against having to enter into a contract that violates their beliefs religious or otherwise. Protection for religious organizations should be a separate bill. That bill should emphasize that no religious body shall have to perform or witness any marriage which is contrary to the belief of the minister or the teaching of the church.
Then the state needs to clearly define a protected class under any anti-discrimination statute they might have on the books. Then make it clear that local governments that draft anti-discrimination statutes most afford protection of conscience into those laws. JMHO.
It wasn’t the wording of the law the judge objected to. It was to the principle of religious freedom.
Which ran counter to the Gaystapo agenda the judge pandered to in his execrable ruling.
