Ok, in the last two days a couple of Southern governors have demonstrated that they need to go back to law school. Or take some classes in logic.

First, we have the Governor of Texas responding to the US Supreme Court declaring Texas's latest anti-abortion law to be unconstitutional..

His comment was along the lines "so the court is making themselves the medical board for all of the US".

Sorry, but that's what your state legislators (and those of far too many other states) were trying to do by passing laws that don't really have a medical justification, but are just dodges to restrict abortions even more.

Next we have the governor of Mississippi ranting about a federal court overturning part of a law that would (among a bunch of other things) let county clerks recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

He claimed it was a violation of the first amendment and violated the religious freedom of Mississippians.

Sorry, but freedom to practice your religion does *not* include being able to impose *your* religious beliefs on other people.

Your religious beliefs don't allow gay marriage? then don't marry someone of the same sex. Don't believe in divorce? Don't get one. But neither means you are allowed to fail to do your job.
