" But the state's recognition of that marriage is a privilege." Most foolish comment of the day so far.

"Providing a cake isn't the problem, when the store owner has to put two plastic men together or women, and decorate it with two men's names and deliver it to the wedding, that is participating in the ceremony."
Does he provide the same service to all other hetero customers?
If so, yes, he has to provide the same service to same sex marriages.
Sucks to be you.

"but when you set out to take down an American business owner because they do not agree with your chosen path" is a moral act if such business owner does the same service for others in public.

And SCOTUS will always strike down such laws. And if such enacted legislation comes before the Court enough times and is struck enough times, the Court can issue an opinion that any such laws are null and void upon enactment and having no force.

SUPREME COURT RULES THAT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESTORATION ACT EXCEEDS CONGRESS' POWER
On June 25, 1997, in a 6-3 decision, Boerne v. Flores, No. 95-2074, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress' enactment of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act exceeded its power under section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment and found the Act uncons titutional.
The decision placed important limitations on the authority of Congress to use Section 5 of the 14th Amendment ("The Congress shall have power to enforce [the Amendment] by appropriate legislation...") to expand the definition of personal righ ts. Its exercise of such authority in the voting rights arena had been upheld by the Supreme Court in the 1960's.
Background
On November 16, 1993, President Clinton signed into law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in Employment Division of Oregon v. Smith in which the Court held that the state of Oregon was free "to i nclude religiously inspired peyote use within the reach of its general criminal prohibition on use of that drug, and thus permitted the State to deny unemployment benefits to persons dismissed from their jobs because of such religiously inspired use." ;
.....
Summary
As to the question of whether the Smith decision was properly decided: six Justices respond in the affirmative (Rehnquist, Stevens, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Ginsburg). Justice O'Connor says no, and Justices Breyer and Souter wanted to hear further argument.
On the issue whether Congress had the authority under section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to overturn Smith, all justices who addressed the issue (5) answered in the negative.
The Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee has held hearings on whether to push for legislation or a constitutional amendment to counter the Court decision striking down the RFRA. Religious leaders who testified at a hearing before the Subcommittee generally called for caution in pushing for a constitutional amendment and suggested that a more narrowly written law tied to Congress' authority to regulate interstate commerce and to control Federal spending could protect religious fre edom and pass constitutional muster. Some legal authorities, however, do not believe that the court has left much room for a legislative fix.
