A judge isn't a privately owned business. If the judge really thinks it's the same thing, they need to be disbarred
I'm always on the side of a clergy who doesn't want to perform a marriage for any reason, but this isn't that. This person is a public office and their personal opinions don't enter into it, full stop.
I'm with you. This judge should be impeached and have their law credentials revoked. They're failing to perform the duties of their office, they get fired.
Unfortunately, there's no requirement for credentials to be a judge. It's typically lawyers but they don't have to be.
That's a fair point. Perhaps disbarment would be purely punitive, if they in fact have law credentials, but at least they should be impeached. This is absolutely cause for removal from the bench.
Disbarred and maybe get all their previous rulings looked at. maybe retried.
it's texas, though. Chances are they're gonna give that guy a medal. or something.
