Remember the story of the Justice of the Peace in Louisiana who refused to marry an interracial couple because he personally does not condone mixed marriages? Well, it appears the international pressure may have gotten to him and now, the gig is up — literally!
After much hoopla and disgrace, the race-biased Justice Keith Bardwell finally bent to public sentiment and resigned from his elected post. On Tuesday, Bardwell traveled to the Louisiana Secretary of State office and submitted his resignation — but not without a fight. Naturally, the outspoken Bardwell could not resist a few parting words of wisdom: “I would probably do the same thing again. (But) I found out I can’t be a justice of the peace and have a conscience.” So in other words, his “conscience” told him it was OK to personally choose to disobey the law of the land, which has allowed interracial marriage for the greater part of 40 years? Interesting!
Oh well…so long, Bardwell. We wish you and your “conscious” a better life!
GGOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!
