Blog Update: Justice Who Refused to Marry Interracial Couple Quits

A quick update; CNN is reporting the Louisiana Justice of the Peace who wouldn't grant a marriage license to an interracial couple has resigned. Btw, the couple later did get a license in another parish.
The justice says he has no regrets. He was quoted by WAFB as, "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 still says he is not racist and does not perform interracial marriages because of his concern about the children of such marriages.
