    So… if a judge doesn’t think races should intermingle, he can refuse to marry an interracial couple? Is the Loving decision back on the table?

    Hey if the judge is Atheist, can he refuse to marry religious nuts because they’re just gonna make more nutcackes?

    Well of course we shouldn’t force anyone to get married, judges or otherwise.

    If my religion forbids flying in airplanes, that means I shouldn’t become a pilot. And if I do become a pilot, I can’t suddenly start demanding that all the planes I’m in charge of just taxi across the country instead. My religious freedom means that I don’t have to be a pilot and I don’t have to be on a plane. It doesn’t mean that I get to decide how planes work for other people.

    Many such cases of religious people “accidentally” “confusing” the difference between these two scenarios.

    Guess this means US Court is next, and they have to solemnly shrug their hands and say “sorry, gotta overturn another precedent.”

    This fucking timeline.
