Exactly what principles of the US Constitution does not wanting to bake a cake go against?Give me a few examples of your supposed Christian Version of Sharia Law that is on the books, Is some one forcing you not to eat meat on Friday or go to Chirch on Sunday? Or do you mean the old blue laws where you cannot by beer before noon on Sunday?Sharia Law is every bit as compatible as the Christian version thereof. In other words, neither one has any place in our system of governance.
This is probably exactly what it's going to take to cleanse this far right, fundamentalist Christian mess out.
The easiest one is gay people and marriage.
Bakers not wanting to bake cakes for gay marriages goes against the principles of the US Constitution, yet the right are trying to force this into being law.
If a single group is singled out for exclusion, it violates the equal protection clause.
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. The 14th Amendment is not by its terms applicable to the federal government.
It prohibits states not bakeries from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. In other words it is a law for the states to obey
But then states make laws concerning bakeries. Usually they have laws which prevent businesses discriminating.
