And just like that, they’re going to force everyone (only Christians of course) to bake cakes regardless of religious beliefs

If gay marriage is legal in Texas and the judge is a steward of the law, then why should he be allowed to discriminate 
Its not a private business, which has ever right to discriminate imo

Clearly, it is a laughable matter. Government can try to tell any employee what to do. However, government can not force a Christian pastor or any religious leader to wed a pair whom the pastor or reverend feels is not within their belief scope.
Let government circle the drain.

Important things first. Gay marriage, then we'll work on making things more affordable. They fell for it, we saw it coming, but we had no one worth a shite to put against the story tellers?

Kim Davis already tried this.

Will they make a Muslim serving an official government capacity in agriculture, touch and handle pigs?
Or a Muslim judge, marry gay people?
You know the answer, and you know the answer is no
Religious tolerance only applies to non-Christian religions

They can always step down if they can't do their job.

I'd imagine someone will push the envelope and then sue
I'd imagine you aggies are in heaven with this ruling though

I would argue that they should be forced to do those things, or resign.
On the other hand, how would you feel about a Muslim judge refusing to prosecute child marriages?

It is a private business.
Marrying people is something that judges are empowered to do but not required to do according to their job responsibilities.
It's basically a side hustle that they get paid extra for and the terms are negotiated between private parties.

If that's the case then this does get fuzzier. I thought this was a justice of the peace type situation.

Doesn’t a judge have plenary power over his proceedings? Maybe change the wording you use from “by the power vested in me by the State of Texas, I hereby pronounce you…..” to something along the lines of “the Supreme Court of Texas forces me to hereby pronounce you …..” That would certainly be an honest statement.

Why?
Marrying people is not a job responsibility.
It's a side business for them.
It's the equivalent of someone who drives a bus for a living making extra money using his CDL to transport people in his private vehicle on the weekends in an arrangement that his employer has nothing to do with.
It seems pretty clear to me that this is a Constitutional over reach.

I would feel like that was an official duty of the judge and he or she wasn't doing his or her job.

Judges shouldn’t be officiating weddings, anyway.
Aside from that, sitting on the bench is not a religious position so perform the functions of a judge when it comes up.

If you read the whole article there's a bit in there about a judge who refused to marry same sex couples, but who referred them out to someone else "who charged the same price."
It's just like a pastor who officiates a wedding for extra money.
Hopefully no one here is in favor of forcing pastors to start marrying same sex couples.
