Why can't they just go to another JotP? Why MUST this guy cave in?

I don't agree with what this guy says or does, but I don't understand why someone like a JotP has to tow the line. Let him have his biases. He's free to do so in America, is he not?
This reminds me of a disturbing news story I heard a few years ago where an advocate of gay marriage said that any priest/pastor/whatever who refuses to marry gay couples should lose the right to marry anyone at all. Why is it that you're only allowed to have a point of view if it conforms to society's norms? Disagree with him all you want, but respect and defend to the death his right to have his opinion.

How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less

Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem!

Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along.

In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule.

Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM*

Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means...

Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM*

Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM*

Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier
