What if the judge decides that interracial marriage is against his belief system and will only marry White, evangelical couples?

A Texas Judge Is Suing For the Right to Ignore the Supreme Court’s Same-Sex Marriage Ruling The Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage is a fundamental right. Only Brian Umphress dares to ask the question: What if that doesn’t apply in Texas?
