A Louisiana justice of the peace who drew criticism for refusing to marry an interracial couple has resigned, the secretary of state's office said Tuesday.Keith Bardwell resigned in person at the Louisiana secretary of state's office, said spokesman Jacques Berry. ...
Bardwell, a justice of the peace for Tangipahoa Parish's 8th Ward, refused to perform a marriage ceremony for Beth Humphrey, 30, and her boyfriend Terence McKay, 32, both of Hammond, Louisiana, and sign their marriage license. The two were married by another justice of the peace.
...
Bardwell did not return repeated phone calls from CNN in October, but told CNN affiliate WAFB that he had no regrets about the decision. "It's kind of hard to apologize for something that you really and truly feel down in your heart you haven't done wrong," he said. Link
You may feel in your heart that you haven't done wrong. But you did. And when most of the civilized world tells you that you're wrong, perhaps you should spend a little more time thinking about your actions and considering that maybe you are wrong. It's how you learn and grow.
Dumbass.
