Diane Sykes, a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, has argued that an anti-LGBT student group, the Christian Legal Society, did not violate Southern Illinois University&rsquo;s School of Law&rsquo;s anti-discrimination policies by denying membership to people who &ldquo;engaged in or affirmed homosexual conduct.&rdquo; In <em>Christian Legal Society v.

David Stras, Associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, was among the court majority who opposed the assignment of a new title for a 2012 constitutional amendment against marriage equality. Instead of &ldquo;Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman,&rdquo; Minnesota&rsquo;s Secretary of State Mark Ritchie had proposed &ldquo;Limiting the Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples,&rdquo; but conservative lawmakers&nbsp;feared the new title would make voters more likely to vote against the&nbsp;amendment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/legislature-wins-photo-id-marriage-amendment-cases\/167637595\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stras and the court majority sided&nbsp;with the lawmakers<\/a>, and the title wasn&rsquo;t changed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/willet.jpg?resize=195%2C195\" alt=\"Don Willet\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/willet.jpg?resize=195%2C195 195w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/willet.jpg?resize=298%2C300 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">4.&nbsp;Don Willett, Texas Supreme Court Justice, likes to make jokes&nbsp;on social media and&nbsp;criticizes Trump regularly.
