Holy ehit you are stupid. If that muslim is sellng wine to men yes he better sell to women to but if he just doesnt sell wine at all tough shit
You just refuse to discuss the religious aspect of this, don't you? Kind of odd, since the ruling is about religious beliefs.
I ignore the religeous aspect because its irrelevant. Even an atheist pharmacist has a right to decide which legal products he will sell and frankly shouldnt have to explain himself to anyone. Its HIS,or hers. Business
A state has the authority to set requirements like these. It is just like marriage licenses. If you want to apply for a marriage license, you must meet certain criteria. If you want to apply for a pharmaceutical license, you must meet certain criteria. You have an opportunity for redress, it is to vote; either with your ballot or your feet.
I'm quite frankly surprised that we haven't seen someone try to (I didn't fine tooth comb the thread) use the commerce clause but it wasn't supposed to apply here either. The reality is that (in accordance with the tenth amendment) this is the authority of the states. Washington should tell the federal courts to go get fucked.
