TSC 22-1145 Blacklock concurring ("If the Judicial Conduct Commission is correct—that is, if Obergefell ushered in an era in which judges who publicly espouse traditional Christian beliefs are unfit for the robe—then yet another deeply rooted constitutional principle comes into view. 'No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments . . . .'  8 TEX. CONST. art. I, § 4. Judge Hensley has been the target of a punitive administrative apparatus with the power, ultimately, to exclude her from holding office. This has happened 'on account of [her] religious sentiments'—not on account of rude or insulting or unprofessional words or actions towards anybody of any sexual orientation.")

power, ultimately, to exclude her from holding office. This has happened
“on account of [her] religious sentiments”—not on account of rude or
insulting or unprofessional words or actions towards anybody of any
sexual orientation
