    Default Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race

    One more reason why we shouldn't increase the scope of government power and employment of the State and Federal government. Imagine doctors who worked for the governemnt as opposed to private practice. If this wasn't a government personnel issue, he would have had freedom of conscience in performing his job.

    Good to know that government workers do not have that freedom while the rest of us do in performing the same services.

    He should have been allowed to refuse the service as long as he made sure that someone else upheld the law. Are you telling me that because he disagrees with one aspect of the law and sends the couple to another officiator, he shouldn't have the ability to judge civil case? When Gay marriage becomes legal, anyone who refuses to officiate shouldn't be allowed to be a judge? That's a sure fire way to slam an agenda though.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
