La JoP Refuses to Marry Mixed Race Couple

except for the fact that it is the jop's personal belief. but to refuse to marry them is considered discrimination and against the law.

 

I'm not sure what he did was against the law or discrimination. Heck he married whites and blacks but just not interracial couples. If it were 2 women 1 black and 1 white would people be in an uproar?

This is going to be a tough case.

 

Seeing the White Race heading for extinction saddens me. As a North European*, I see 82,000 years of evolution being thrown away in a century or less.

*There's no guesswork here. I paid $100 to the National Geographic Genographic Project to have my swab analyzed.

 

Just for shyts and giggles Tinsley, what would be the defense argument for the JP, without sounding ridiculously stupid, like you do constanstly?

honest discussion about race is what we are having and its clear that the guy is in violation of the law. That has nothing to do with political correctness, it has to do with following the law.

 

he refused to do his job based on race. seems pretty simple to me.

that he has married couples of same race, tho of a different race from himself, has no bearing. it is what he did in this case (and who knows how many times before) that was based on race that applies.

 

This sums it up:

"For the sake of argument," said Michael Merritt in PoliGazette, "I’ll take the unpopular position," and ask why Keith Bardwell should be compelled to marry interracial couples. Yes, it's "wrong," and Louisiana law says Beth Humphrey and Terence McKay have every right to get married—but why does Bardwell have to preside over the ceremony if it goes against his beliefs? He's only making the same arguments gay-marriage opponents make. "If we allow marriage officials to deny their services to gay couples, we must also do this for interracial couples, as well as white couples."

 

its totally against the law, he refused to marry a man and a woman, regardless of race. What he did was take his beliefs and push them onto innocent people who were within their rights as citizens of this country and state.

seems like an open and shut case to me.

 

Thats complete bs, equating race and sexual orientation is the first failure. He's a Justice of the Peace, the law is the concrete component of his job. Thats like me being a garbage man, but I refuse to pick up trash on one side of the street vs the other.

 

He won't get past the equal protection of the laws clause* in the Fourteenth Amendment. While I his having the courage of his conviction, he is sure to be forced to vacate his position as a JP.

that's not his job though. its not his job to push his beliefs on other people. If he doesn't like what his job requires, he needs to resign.
