The 9th Amendment exists. It's not a delusion.
The Texas AG opinion carries no legal weight.
No, on the contrary, it carries the ability to propel this issue straight to the US Supreme Court on the issue of the cult of LGBT vs Christianity on a fast track. Which is exactly what they had in mind I'm sure.
The USSC is almost certainly going to deny cert. As state officials represent the state. And in state has no religious conviction. If a state official uses their position to force citizens of that state to adopt tenets of their religion....that's the establishment of religion. Which is explicitly forbidden.
Worse, your logic is absolute garbage. Lets follow it: Can a Muslim judge refuse to rule in any manner that violates sharia? Can a fundamentalist Muslim police officer refuse to take a DV complaint from a woman whose husband just beat her senseless....because that woman wasn't wearing a burka?
If not, why not? Wouldn't their religion trump civil law too?
It's going to be the 1st Amendment vs Article 4, Section 2...only the 9th Amendment says that none of the provisions of the Constitution may extinguish the right granted in another.
Says you. But remember.....you don't know what the **** you're talking about. You told us what the Obergefell ruling was going to be, insisting you knew what the court was going to have to base their ruling on, how they were going to side with you, what status determinations the court would have to make and a litany of other pseudo-legal babble.
Nothing you predicted happened. Nothing. Your every prediction was comically wrong. The courts are not bound by your assumptions. And you have no capacity to glean their rulings.
Ooops!...looks like Kennedy and pals didn't read the whole Constitution before they decided to create a de facto new provision that says that some (, but we're not sure which all and how many) behaviors repugnant to the majority may now skirt around the majority's right to regulate behaviors...
Or.....you just don't know what the **** you're talking about. One or the other.
