Advisory Board: Ohio judges cannot refuse to marry gay people

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The judge can refuse to perform marriages at all.

That's false. The last paragraph said that if a judge pulls that trick, he would be disqualified from being a judge. See opinion attached at the end of this article. Ohio judges cannot refuse to perform gay weddings based on personal views state board advises cleveland.com

The government cannot discriminate.

I don't know why anyone would want to be a judge anyhow, the money is in private practice

But who has more power?

Recent threads here have mentioned a judge who asked an advisory board for advice on whether he could refuse to marry gay couples, because he objects to this. Well here's the board's decision: You can't refuse.
The judge has said that he would abide by the board's advice.
Score this one for liberals. Conservatives lose.

Read it again. The judge can be disqualified from hearing any case where gender is an issue. Not disqualified from being a judge.
