My opinion - if you want a judge to not enforce the morality clause, have the state legislature vote it out of law. Continuing to have it in there and going by the "good faith" standard that they won't enforce it, is the public being a little too trustworthy. How can you disbar a judge when his actions by legal standards did not break any laws or violate procedures? Do I agree with his ruling? No, because I agree he enforced this clause based on his personal morality standards, however at the same time not much recourse in calling for his head since what he did was not illegal or unbecoming of a legal practitioner. It is what it is and the only real way to change it is to take a vote in the state house and remove this clause as part of divorce agreements.
