Florida Attorney Who Calls Same-Sex Marriage 'An Abomination' Could Be Named Family Court Judge by Gov. Rick ScottA Florida attorney who unsuccessfully ran for Congress two years ago could be appointed as a family court judge by Gov. Rick Scott. Lathika Mary Thomas, a staunch conservative Republican, has called same-sex marriage "an abomination." She also has strong ties to Florida's GOP governor.
In 2015 Thomas called Supreme Court decisions supporting the Affordable Care Act and right of same-sex couples to marry "an abomination," saying they "tear at the very fabric of American society. We must repeal Obamacare and defend the constitution. Nothing less will suffice," a Florida newspaper, the Tallahassee Democrat, reported.
(Defending the Constitution means supporting the right of same-sex couples to marry, as the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell.)
