Public accommodation includes people you don't agree with AS LONG AS they obey the rules for your business. If the KKK guy is loud and abusive, or bounces a check, you can refuse him service, just as you would anyone else who did the same thing.RoadScholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328387184587639197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-8360824187856341732014-02-14T15:18:12.260-05:002014-02-14T15:18:12.260-05:00The good news is even the people who initially pro...The good news is even the people who initially proposed this blazing sack of stink are fleeing its stench. <br /><br />The (R) who introduced it says he didn't read it, he got it from another (R) who said he is a very busy man, he just pointed it out to R1 and forgot about it. I guess it is just a matter of time before they claim sneaky Democrats gave them the bill to make them look dumb. <br /><br />Another brilliant bit of statergery from the Republican party.

And even if that doesn't happen, all it takes is Anthony Kennedy deciding that religious freedom is more important than who you love.<br /><br />That will motivate many, many such state bills enshrining bigotry into law and saying "We're ending discrimination by protecting the religious beliefs of Christians."<br /><br />It's a pretty good bet, and you'll see more and more Republicans taking these odds. makes it more likely there will be a sweeping 5-4 SCOTUS ruling in their favor because they'll just have to act "for the good of the nation".Zandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396826133150556766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-17940608693922098982014-02-14T00:50:46.574-05:002014-02-14T00:50:46.574-05:00This week, U.S. District Judge John G.

Heyburn II. a Bush I appointee, ruled that Kentucky’s law against recognizing same-sex marriages from other states violates the equal protection clause, just as Ed Crotty suggests. Heyburn's reasoning is pretty straightforward & should apply in any so-called "religious objection" laws or practices: "... religious beliefs ... are vital to the fabric of society ... [but] assigning a religious or traditional rationale for a law does not make it constitutional when that law discriminates against a class of people without other reasons.” marieburnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551898556011521804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-72890674296182367402014-02-13T23:24:23.806-05:002014-02-13T23:24:23.806-05:00Lawsuit.Lawsuit.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-91346994675707087122014-02-13T23:12:57.942-05:002014-02-13T23:12:57.942-05:00Doesn't the 14th amendment equal protection cl...Doesn't the 14th amendment equal protection clause ensure this is unconstitutional??
