This should not be so hard to understand.
A judge who in his personal time was a member of the KKK, appeared at a KKK meeting and gave a speech saying that he would not follow the law involving a black petitioner would absolutely be understood to have bias and shouldn't be judging a dog show. This is the same thing.
No, it is not the same thing.
In this case, the judge said that she would not perform weddings because she believes the current law is biased against the LGBT community. According to the article, she is under no obligation whatsoever to perform weddings. By her having made the decision to not perform weddings what laws has she broken.
I do agree that in a particular case an attorney may want her to be removed from the case, but that would be the attorney's decision and strategy. Whether she is biased against straight people or not is yet to be determined.
I think you are wrong in your analysis of this particular case, Katz.
