The Left is already calling for the impeachment of Toledo Municipal Judge Allen McConnell who respectfully declined to marry a same-sex couple Monday.
“I declined to marry a non-traditional couple during my duties assignment,” he said per Reuters. “The declination was based upon my personal and Christian beliefs established over many years. I apologize to the couple for the delay they experienced and wish them the best.”
Another Ohio judge, William Connelly, Jr., stepped in and performed the gay-wedding for the two women.
Reuters also reports that McConnell is looking for direction on this issue from the Ohio Supreme Court.
Regardless of the fact that the lesbian couple were still awarded the ceremony, mainstream leftists like Glenn Greenwald believe McConnell should be impeached because he won’t violate his religious conscience.
As you’ll see below, Greenwald’s reasoning is based on bullying and force, not tolerance or even legal reasoning.

Marrying someone is a service others can perform, not APPLYING the law. Judges recuse all the time. https://t.co/5WzSVV9uPP

The law legalized SSM, it didn’t demand EVERYONE perform them. Only intolerant bullies demand do that. https://t.co/a0wPet0PAS
