Who does he think he is?

Flat impact of my face on the table. "Bigotry" is one of the more tame descriptions on my mind.

yeah... pretty back woods ass backwards if you ask me.

but i also agree with him to some extent.

Many mixed race children - particularly in his region of the world are the victims of racism from whites and blacks alike.

if he doesnt want to issue them a marriage license... thats cool. they can always go someplace else and get one.

Hear that? He's so tolerant he even lets black people use his bathroom! WOW! Someone get him the Congressional Medal of Honor!

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," he said "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."
Suffer? Does he know who the President is?

That'll pretty much end his career I think.

Forming far-reaching policies affecting the social structure of a society by manipulating how many children couples are allowed to have, and what social milieus of the partners are considered to be acceptable and what combinations are to be denied, is no decision left to a singel court or a single judge of peace, but it is a decision to be formed by the government of a nation, wether it be a democratic or a tyrannic one. Else one ends up with a rag rug of different judges' districts who rule each in his own domain like a feudal lord, making his own rules.

I completely and totally agree

but i have also seen racism against these kids... they get it bad in some parts of the world.

im not trying to defend this justice's position... because its a position one cannot defend... all im saying is that i understand to some extent where he is coming from

Don't you mean Nobel Peace Prize? :hmmm::03:

While I don't agree with his stand on inter-racial marriage.

He like any other american can't be FORCED to marry anyone.

The ACLU is Huffing and Puffing but, will only be a big bunch of wind legally.

He broke no law. :nope:

Loving v Virginia stated state miscegenation laws were unconstitutional. In his official capacity as JOP, he is bound to follow state and federal laws. So, according to the Supreme Court, he violated their rights to due process and equal protection.

FIREWALL 10-16-09 01:24 PM

Doesn't apply.

He legally can't be forced to marry and/or sign a marriage license

It's a moot point. If he doesn't marry them he doesn't have to sign a license.

Really, they can to clergy or the district court to get the license. What is the problem? So we got one idiot here. No problem. Go somewhere else for what they need.

Racism by someone who's acting on behalf of a state should be punished.

The thing is, he is part of that problem. Yes, some mixed race children face challenges. On the other hand, those challenges only exist because of people like him who see them as mixed race people rather than just people.

I hold no quarter for bigots or racists, period.
