US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race

Why would that be different? Because you could appeal to Religious belief as opposed to just personal belief? Or because they were there first?

I believe Kralizec's point was that marrying gay people wasn't a part of the job description when the guy took the job, while marrying interracial couples was. He knew he would be required to marry them when he took the job, so no excuses, he should've found a different job in the first place.

However, sacking someone from a job they've had a long time because you changed the job is, well, not that fun. So, adjustments will be made.

EDIT: but still, I would've fired him if he refused to marry gays when that was the law. Public officials can be as political as they like, but when they're on the job, they will have to do the job the state requires them to do, or take their hats and leave. None of this "I'll let that guy handle this one for me"-nonsense. Either do your job or get out.
