Republican wakes up!

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3

The Federal Government has the power "to regulate commerce... among the several states".

Thus, if your business does not affect commerce between any state line, meaning you use no products that are shipped across state lines, or you don't service people from other States, or you don't in any other way touch the commerce of another State, you have an argument, IF its the feds regulating you.

IF however, the cakes you bake have an ingredient that comes from out of state, the Fed has the power to regulate.

Do you think Jesus would support your argument?
I don't.

I'm not going to speak for Jesus but I would think that he would support people standing by what they believe is the right thing to do in order to protect their sincerely held beliefs and religious principles. Im not perfect, nobody is, and so maybe to Jesus I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, but at the end of the day I'm going to do and believe what I think is the right thing.

Your interpretation of the Constitution is cute.

Is it your contention that anyone coming to your house can bring an AK47 even if you don't want them to?

I will understand if you are afraid to answer and just throw out your standard

"Did I say that?" Or some other evasive bullshit. I command you to be evasive. Do it. Be my bitch

If you rented the house can your landlord order this?

I believe that a faith based organization should be able to hire whoever they want and also be able to deny services to anybody that goes against their sincerely held beliefs. If a private business based in faith wants to only hire people that share that faith then I am ok with that. Same if a private organization wants to deny service for something that goes against their faith and principles. Likewise if I disagreed with the religious beliefs of an organization I wouldn't try to get a job with them and I wouldn't seek out their services.

and if you don't like black people you should be able to refuse them too?


how about if you think someone is gay so you refuse them service and it turns out they are not gay can they sue you?

I don't think he would support mass murder so no. I don't think you can relate terrorism with someone having the freedom to say no.

In today's society a business probably wouldn't stay in business very long if they had a sign like that in the door, and if they did have a sign like that I wouldn't want to give my money to them. If someone's lack of belief or if a person of differing beliefs keep them from respecting the religious values of a business owner or faith based organizations then how is that any different? Someone is still being disenfranchised one way or another aren't they?

so then we need ton force any business that is going to refuse people service to place a LARGE window sign on their business that says "we reserve the right to hate you freely at our own discretion"
 
Cowgirl Tuff said:
I don't completely disagree but you can't control your skin color, you can control your religious beliefs or lack of. If you are gay for example and you want to force someone to participate in your wedding even though they have the religious freedom and basic freedom to say no then how is that not just a reverse form of religious, or lack of religious, discrimination? Race is a little different in my opinion but the Georgia law centered on religious protections which is what I'm talking about

so people should be allowed to refuse jews service too?

So much for freedom of association.

Of course I don't recall reading those exceptions in the constitution. Maybe they are hiding behind the word privacy

if you want the benefits of being a society you can not refuse people entry into a business designed to profit from public freedoms.


your desire for promoting hate among the people will not be honored
