There is a hell of a lot more to someone walking in to a bakery to buy a cake........and another making them deliver and set up for a Wedding that is against there personal beliefs..................
No there isn't. If you can't run your business without discriminating against certain people, in violation of the law,
then get out of the business.
Show me the law UNDER THE CONSTITUTION that ALLOWS YOU to FORCE ME TO SERVE SOMETHING against my beliefs...........
Now with that said...................Those that refuse to serve in a time of War have no rights anymore to REFUSE to go to War.......because their Religious beliefs no longer apply.....
BTW...........There are other bakers......and caterers...........Why the hell didn't they just go to one that didn't care...........
I'll tell you why..............IT WASN'T ABOUT A DANG CAKE.................It was about FORCING people to ACCEPT THEM...........and done to sue the living shit out of Christians who are OFFENDED........
If they are offended .........you liberals don't care. If you get offended then KATIE BAR THE DOOR.
It can be found here in the Constitution:
“We have never held that an individual's religious beliefs [p879] excuse him from compliance with an otherwise valid law prohibiting conduct that the State is free to regulate. On the contrary, the record of more than a century of our free exercise jurisprudence contradicts that proposition.”
Employment Division v. Smith
The Constitution has never acknowledged or accepted the notion that religious or personal beliefs are ‘justification’ for not following or obeying a just and proper law, such as public accommodations laws.
These cases have those who disagree in the court.........especially the ones that are like this one.............
Change the court and OH MY GOD the Constitution SUDDENLY IS DIFFERENT..............
Shows how screwed up this country is...............
Try the same case after 3 appointments from a GOP President.
Then try it again on Gun Control with 3 appointments by a DEM President.
You’re as childish as you are ridiculous, ignorant, and wrong.
Public accommodations laws are necessary, proper, and Constitutional, as authorized by the Commerce Clause – having nothing to do with the First Amendment.
That states and local jurisdictions may regulate local markets is settled, accepted, and beyond dispute – including regulating public accommodations, and prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, and sexual orientation.
That one incorrectly perceives his religious or personal beliefs are somehow ‘violated’ by complying with a just, proper, and Constitutional is not ‘justification’ for ignoring that just and proper law, where no Free Exercise Clause ‘violation’ has taken place.
As for the Establishment Clause, the First Amendment does in fact guarantee the right to be free from religion – to be free from government seeking to compel religious compliance, prohibiting government form codifying religious dogma into secular law, and prohibiting government from establishing an official religion – Americans do in fact have a right to be free from religion.
