Promises to protect ‘our’ LGBT community in cases that come before her
A Democrat newly elected to manage the state Supreme Court in Texas is promising to turn Christians into targets and force them to adopt her LGBT beliefs.
At issue is an accommodation in court rules that allows Christians in the judicial system in the state to decline to perform same-sex ceremonies, which violate their deeply held faith precepts.
Maggie Ellis, a Democrat who openly identifies as “LGBT,” was elected to the post of state court chief justice. And she has informed the Dallas Morning News she wants to change an existing rule allowing that religious accommodation.
After a court fight, the system adopted the rule just a year ago that allows Texas judges to decline to perform ceremonies that violate their “sincerely held religious belief” without violating the rules on impartiality.
Ellis wants to return to the days of forcing Christians in the state system to violate their faith.
That basic fight already has been addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court, several times.
The leftist Democrats in Colorado tried, based on their state-adopted belief system, to force a bakery artist to promote same-sex weddings. They lost at the U.S. Supreme Court.
They tried to force a web designer to promote same-sex weddings, and lost at the U.S. Supreme Court.
They tried to force counselors to promote those state-adopted LGBT beliefs. And lost at the Supreme Court.
