    Tenn. judge refuses to grant straight couple a divorce because … gay marriage - The Washington Post

    Nothing like illogically using logic and twisting the law to show up your personal beliefs (cf. Kim Davis).

    So another person refuse to do their job properly because they don't want to?
    Man, I wish I can do that.

    So let me see if I've got this correct. The state court is making them appeal to the federal circuit courts because the state court is pissed off that federal circuit courts are higher ranking than they are?
