Let’s look at this free religion case another way. Every year during Passover, Coca Cola makes kosher for Passover Coke that is the original Coke formula and tastier than the usual. As a result Christians buy it and the stores run out of the soft drink. As a result, Jews who actually can’t drink other soft drinks because they keep kosher for Passover, aren’t able to buy it. So, let’s see what the Supreme Court would do with a law that forbid Christians from buying kosher Coke. Can you hear the Christians who believe they have a right not to serve gays screaming? But what’s the difference between this ruling and the one I projected??

Hard to believe that the soft apartheid enjoyed by wytpipo before the landmark Civil Rights legislation of the 60's never went away. The discrimination only expanded beyond the blacks it was designed for. This country seems to think that targets intended remain cowed past the stripping away portion. Women voting this year sent a message of warning to the powers that be that they will not sit idly by and return to second class status. We gay people got complacent post AIDS medical breakthroughs but by 2015 we got marriage. Undoing Oberfell may happen (the breadcrumbs have indeed become bricks) so now we return to the grassroots and start the fight that eventually will go national by 2024...The Web Designer in her haste to prediscriminate neglected to consider the zealots advising her just hamstrung her future earnings because she'll be disregarded as an option going forward from those who can actually rub 2 nickels together intellectually. Any more moves by this court to ignore the people will only increase the demand to even things out there. Yes, packing the court is the only option left..
