A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM

Seriously though, the ACLU needs to put a sock in it. No one should be made to facilitate something he is opposed to because of his beliefs, no matter how ridiculous.


I don't know the letter of the law, but it's obvious that the law is that 1)Discrimination in government based on race is not allowed and 2) Interracial marriages are perfectly legal.


If the judge is saying, "No, I will not grant your marriage license specifically because it is an interracial marriage," it's the same thing as the US Government going "You cannot get married because this is an interracial marriage."


The judge is a representative of the government. He must obey its laws.



Now, if it was a minister of some church, that would not be a legal issue.
I amuse myself.

What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 592 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 591 Views
Yeah. They don't have to crap in the yard. He says they can use his bathroom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 03:47:24 PM 274 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 248 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 284 Views
I can't imagine why anyone would want to crap in this guy's lawn... it's a puzzler. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 08:57:06 PM 289 Views
WTF? what is wrong with people?! this makes me wanna pull my hair out! its 2009!!!! Aisha - 16/10/2009 04:19:49 AM 657 Views
How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less Tashmere - 16/10/2009 05:19:49 AM 592 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 566 Views
aren't Cajuns a mix of multiple races (whites and indians mostly)?? Cajuns ARE Loiusiana *NM* imlad - 16/10/2009 05:05:18 PM 237 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 560 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 219 Views

You're confusing Cajuns with Creoles. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:28:35 AM 530 Views

Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 530 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 230 Views
Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem! Cannoli - 16/10/2009 11:37:34 AM 771 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 593 Views
Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 03:34:22 PM 573 Views
In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule. Legolas - 16/10/2009 03:39:52 PM 523 Views
Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM* Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:55:32 PM 280 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 507 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 237 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 553 Views

Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means... Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:37:11 PM 634 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 224 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 223 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 721 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 672 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 546 Views
Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:25:20 PM 563 Views
