A judge. Someone who is meant to uphold law and the constitution, has a problem separating her religion from the state.
The sad thing is, this is not a new problem. Worse: she might get her way.

We all knew this was next after Roe v. Wade. It will bring the evangelicals out to vote.
"As a xtian....the rules don't apply to ME! Because I'm so very fucking special!"
I'm so sick of this line of "reasoning" from these people.
Honestly, laws like the bill of rights are needed to protect us from Christians.
Well, the founders definitely knew that. The Inquisition was still on in their lifetimes and many of them knew of the atrocities that xtians carried out on each other in the colonies.
Of course, lots of xtians will claim that there is no freedom FROM religion (just OF religion, LOL) and that the founders meant for this to be a xtian nation. Which is a nonsensical statement. What kind of "freedom" is it to only pick among various (Protestant) sects of xtianity? And why didn't the founders make any mention of their precious Jesus Christ anywhere in the Constitution?
The first amendment requires freedom FROM religion, too. But warped mush brains like this so-called judge think the nation should not be secular, but instead should cater to special snowflakes like her, just because of her chosen lifestyle.
TIL the Spanish Inquisition only ended in 1834. Jfc.
Yeah, when today's xtians act like the founders left their little book club out of the Constitution as some kind of "oversight" (if they even know or admit that fact at all) and that they all just assumed everyone was going to be some (Protestant) xtian as some kind of requirement to be a full citizen, they are skipping over quite a bit of context.
Of course the Inquisition was still a thing and certainly the horrible things xtians do to not only "unbelievers", but to "heretics" (meaning xtians they disagree with over some bit of doctrine), was something the founders would have been keenly aware of.
How do you even become a State judge without knowing the US Constitution?
The same way you become president without knowing anything about civics
Corruption? Or faking it till they don’t need to like a lot of fascist now
On the state level, a lot of judges are elected rather than appointed. So, sometimes a weesle gets far without having gone to law school. Texas is one of those states.
Up until a decade ago the Constitution officially said nothing about gay marriage. Roe was precedent for half a century.
As a Christian, she chose the wrong job. She does not live in a theocracy.
Bit choosy isn't she. What about the subordinate to men part of Christianity? If she is a true believer, she needs to be a good little girl, quit her job and go home.
This individual is unqualified to be a judge. Perhaps a job in a church would suit her. You cannot belong to a cult and be unbiased. And christians are required by their religion, to be the most biased they can be, or burn in hell.
Christians and catholics are categorically unqualified to be judges. Their religion explicitly states that only God possesses the authority to judge the souls of others. It is outright heresy. Thankfully, we know what to do with heretics.
Bust out the pitchforks, gentlemen.
"Conservatives" are mentally ill, mind your own fucking business you Isis wannabes
Unfortunately, republicans have been telling on themselves for decades. To great success.
Let's just do away with all marriage unless it's an old man and a child. Repubs will stop complaining and then maybe we can focus on policy that actually helps people. I'm being sarcastic, of course. That wouldn't change shit except for letting more old men molest little girls. Which is happening anyway. I hate it all.
A partical judge shouldn't be a judge. Clearing stating she has biases and won't be fair.
Abolish the abrahamic religions
Didn't the Supreme Court literally just decline to hear Kim Davis' case?
These fucking people will not give up.
Am I a bad person for kinda wanting this to happen so I can go to my gay cousin Trump lover and say I told you so?
What a B. Well just boycott working at straight weddings and then nobody will have one. Well we will cause we’ll host our own and they will be marvelous while theirs will look right out of a dollar tree and ugly bridal dresses
For some reason my eyes jumped from
What a B. Well
straight to
Well we will cause we’ll
and I thought I was losing it for a moment, lol
The Bible says the punishment for rape should be having to marry your victim. This punishes the victim too, but the Bible shows no concern for that.
Is her Judges robe made of more than one fabric? 🤫
Well if you are a nomadic tribe in bronze age Mesopotamia who view women as possessions, then that makes perfect sense.
The Bible makes a ton of sense when you actually study it in an academic setting. It's when you start getting life advice out of it when things start going down hill really fast.
Yeah, I get the impression that the Bible barely views women as moral agents at all. The rules are written by men, for men. And when a man rapes a woman, she isn't viewed as the victim, her father is viewed as the victim because he is her owner
Completely agree. It's disgusting.
lol! What a zigzag in terms of up/downvotes. I read the original comment to mean that you sided with the piece of shit judge proposing this
Equality is disgusting?
It's disgusting that she can't separate her religion from her job. She shouldn't be in that position then. I was agreeing with OP.
I’m doing my best I know it’s it’s no consolation. I’ve been going to AA meetings for the last five years still can’t kick the habit. I use text to speech so sometimes the words come out weird and wake up puking drinking water drinking tonics made of lemon juice baking soda in water, taking advice from AI. There’s no way to live being told all my years. I have to hug my dog like I love him, but not the world world turned to coast shoulder because the only way that I could ever get through it is by working at strip clubs instead of actually getting a real real help.
Idc anymore, do it or don’t do it, they obviously didn’t care enough to get out and vote
