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

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
