Not this shit again... already went through this drama with Kim Davis. She should be removed from the bench and disbarred to boot.

This person is a judge, so should be capable of understanding legal rulings. The ruling in question only applied to creative professions. Not judges.

This judge should be removed/impeached immediately.

The Colorado decision was explicitly for creative works. Signing off on a certificate wouldn’t count, even under the insane far-right decision of SCOTUS.

I’m afraid because of Dobbs.

"But I have my own special certificate for my court and my signature is my creative expression of myself!"
