...to interracial couple.
But he's totally not a bigot, right? RIGHT?!?
I guess you can still get away with all sorts of completely reprehensible crap, so long as you add the disclaimer "it's for the children."

Louisiana judge denies marriage license...Follow

How can he be a racist? He just prefaced his comment with "I'm not a racist." That makes everything he says ok.

I didn't tell this couple they couldn't get married. I just told them I wouldn't do it.
I wonder if you could really do that...
Can the clerk at the Secretary of State office just say "No, you can renew your driver's license, but I just won't do it. Go to another Secretary of State office."
Seems like regardless of their reasons to deny an applicant that has filled out the forms, and is legally able to be what ever they are applying for... not doing your job would mean your job would be in jeopardy.

Sir I'm not saying that we can't restock the shelves today, but I can't be the one to do it.
Boss, I want to let you know that I won't have our book done on time because it's upsetting my moral convictions. Let someone else do it alright?
Um, maam, with all due respect, I'm not feeling very good about controlling these planes today. I'm good for all of the other ones, but someone else should take my work for the next ten minutes.

He can be a bigot all he wants. However, is it legal to deny people the right to marry for those reasons? I wonder what will happen. He should be stripped of his credentials.

Now, now, he's not stopping them from having children, but he surely doesn't want to condone or endorse an immoral lifestyle. There's a huge difference between actively stopping someone from copulating, and simply refusing to acknowledge it as a good thing.
Besides man, if he marries a white woman and black man in holy matrimony, he'll have to start marrying one man to another man, and that would be pandemonium.
He's been listening to Varus, and so is doing his part to help reduce the rate of AIDS.
He's also going to provide a surprising fuel for gay marriage advocates across the country. In 1967 the Supreme Court said race was not a basis for denying marriage licenses and overrode the state.
If he is a state judge, he's already been overridden, no matter what he says about it.
Who is it that's always complaining about activist judges, again?

It's perfectly fine for someone to have a personal objection to doing something they disagree with, for good reasons or bad.
It's not perfectly fine when that something is part of their job description. If they disagree with it they need a different job.

He's not a judge, he's a justice of the peace. I don't know what their specific powers are in Louisiana, but besides being a notary I think presiding over marriages is about the extent of his power.
Guys obviously racist, given that half black/white kids can do anything these days, even be President!

Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.

But the article quotes his main reason being that mixed race children are hated by both races, so he doesn't want to condone marriage because he doesn't want to bring a child into a world that hates them.

If he was smart, he'd know that the best way to get rid of the blacks would be to breed them out.

Maybe he thinks he's Postrace.

He's a justice of the peace. I don't know his background, but JPs are not required to hold a law degree, nor are they appointed to preside over actual court cases.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Also... did no one mention to him that our sitting President is the child of such a union? Quite the disadvantage, indeed.

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking. Only pharmacists don't just refuse to sell EC, they refuse to sell regular BC pills as well. Especially to unmarried women.

That's because it's better for women to breed. Especially if they are unmarried.
Wait....
But I digress. I started Birth Control when I was 15, and it wasn't because I was having sex. I makes me sad to think that in certain parts of this country, just because of a stupid religion that I don't even prescribe to, I might not have been able to get that prescription filled.
Hope he ends up getting sued back into the stone age, or at the very least stripped of his title/responsibilities/whatever.
Whoever is responsible for this idiot keeping his job should be ashamed.

It confounds me how much of a fight some pharmacists will put over this issue. I guess it goes with that whole "fighting for what you believe in" thing.
As an update, it appears that the governor is trying to take action.
