With the Court we have now (or god forbid the one we get if Hillary wins?)
Who knows? My expectations of a Court that protects everyone's rights, not just special people's rights are at an all time low.
The Court can protect everyone's rights but only if the Court is allowed to decide what is or isn't a right.
When the claim of a right to discriminate goes up against a claim of a right not to be discriminated against,
the decision has to be based on having decided which right is the legitimate right.
I think it is quite obvious that these people seem to think these laws were designed to "get them." In the mental health field, they have a tem for this. It is called a "persecution complex."
Most of our laws are designed to 'get' people who do certain things.
You misunderstand my comment. The Christian conservatives think these laws are designed to single them out and punish them for their religious beliefs.
And they are wrong.
So the bakers are not being punished for their religious beliefs, or more accurately, exercising said religious beliefs?
