[guno]

the Indiana law has some differences from the federal law, and most of the state laws, that critics say are significant, including a provision explicitly stating that it applies to the exercise of religious beliefs by businesses as well as individuals and religious groups. The idea that a for-profit business has religious rights, and can cite them in contesting government action, was not widely considered until recently. But last year the Supreme Court upheld that principle in the case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores.

Another difference between Indiana’s law and most similar ones is that it says businesses can use religious freedom as a defense against lawsuits brought by individuals, not just those filed by the government.

The amendment will be there, the law will also still be there. So what have you gained, perchance?

From Washington Times:
White House hits Indiana s religious freedom law amid criticism of Obama hypocrisy - Washington Times

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Sunday, March 29, 2015

Indiana’s religious freedom law drew an attack Sunday from the White House even though Indiana Republicans say President Obama voted in favor of similar legislation as an Illinois state senator in 1998.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest didn’t deny that Mr. Obama voted to pass the Illinois Religious Freedom Restoration Act but said the Indiana law appears to “legitimize discrimination.”

“When you have a law like this one in Indiana that seems to legitimize discrimination, it’s important for everybody to stand up and speak out,” Mr. Earnest said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Meanwhile, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican who signed the bill last week, came out swinging Sunday against what he described as an “avalanche of intolerance” aimed at the legislation, which gay rights organizations say allows discrimination based on religious convictions against homosexuality. The law has led to numerous actual and threatened boycotts of the state, even though the federal government and 19 other states have such laws.

“Is tolerance a two-way street or not? There’s a lot of talk about tolerance in this country today having to do with people on the left,” Mr. Pence said. “But here Indiana steps forward to protect the constitutional rights and privileges of freedom of religion for people of faith and families of faith in our state, and this avalanche of intolerance that has been poured on our state is just outrageous.”

Oh trailer park queen of very Low IQ, the elections were regional not national

Of course the left will claim the religious freedom act voted for by Obama while a Senator is different.

Not enough to make any difference.

I guess it all melts down to whom you're willing to believe.

They're going to claim a difference at the same time they're claiming Romneycare and Obamacare are the same.

Which is it liberals?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Don't expect consistency or accountability from obama drones. Just disparagement.

The Indiana law is different...
It allows an individual to discriminate with his business..

The law Clinton signed protects a religon from national prohibition of its practices.
The Indiana law allows a business to discriminate against someone based on what they are
Your rights end when my rights begin.
If you have a real licensed business..you have to serve gays and blacks and Muslims

we decided this back in the 50s...
Tea Party Pence..a former right wing talk show host..is trying to turn back the clock

 

[oldunclemark]

This bill was designed to discriminate....the author of the bill said so himself.

Pence should just say he does not like gays and not lie

 

[oldunclemark]

The amendment will be there, the law will also still be there. So what have you gained, perchance?

the law will be repealed.....it will cost too much not to

Why? There is no indication he doesn't like homos. Only that he likes religious freedom.

The difference is that Hobby Lobby dealt with benefits for employees..

The Pence bill deals with anyone the Christian business owner believes is gay.
the author of the bill has said that was his motivation.

The government cannot be denied the power to enforce civil rights in a case involving a public for profit business licensed by that same government
