Discussion: Author Of Arizona's Anti-Gay Bill Revels In SCOTUS Hobby Lobby Ruling

Discussion for article #224524

Well, that didn’t take long. So much for the “narrowly focused” bullshit. Which state will be first in passing a religious “exemption” against LGBTs?

“the Supreme Court said today that no one should be forced to surrender their First Amendment religious freedom protections merely because they start a business.”

Huh. Supreme court opens door to religion trumping civil law; religious groups rejoice, new tsunami of lawsuits planned.

Funny; when did I move to Iraq?

And all those folks pointing out that this ruling is “narrow” and women can still have access via the ACA are going to have egg all over once the repercussions become clear, and thanks to that bigot in Arizona, those repercussions are becoming very clear.

She may be doing her bigoted happy dance now, but the SCOTUS ruling won’t apply, according to this: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/hobby-lobby-decision-gay-rights

Of course all kinds of religion-based lawsuits will be brought by arrogant Christians anyway.

I know it will be while under the influence of a mind altering substance, but one day I want to hear one of these ‘religious’ people talk about the standard for all religions: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Don’t know which one of us will be stoned.

Too bad their religion requires gay bashing. The way to deal with these people is to thrash them at the polls. At this point, the Supreme Court is an impediment to the rights of the people rather than a safeguard. These bad old men have to go.

The limited ruling thing is good but political and this is the reprucutions from it. Yay. That said, I am not sure if people read the thing, but this was not about the First Amendment. It was about the law past in the 90’s that cannot put undue burden on people’s faith. The First Amendment says nothing like that, not exactly anyway.

Even under the law, I forget the name of it, it still says the government can ignore it if it has a compelling case. What that means is somewhat vague and more or less up to the SCOTUS. Apparently they did not for birth control. Given their rulings so far, I do not think the ywill be ok with anti-gay bills.

Thrashing them at the polls is when the second amendment remedies start.

Ah, the old folks in wizard costumes weigh in … funny parody!! http://dandygoat.com/senior-citizens-in-wizard-costumes-to-settle-magic-pills-dispute

I can’t wait until some employer refuses to provide health care coverage for liver disease, adult onset diabetes, and a host of other conditions caused by immoral, anti-religious behavior. This is going to be fun to watch.

Well, here comes the basis for Sharia Law. Funny it’s coming from a conservative, but perhaps she was jealous at how effective the Taliban was in Afghanistan.

This harridan’s confidence exemplifies what Justice Ginsburg feared. The religious fanatics will choke the courts with this kind of crap until no one but right-wing bigots have any rights left in this country. The continual triumphs by these bastards in elections and SCOTUS is so disheartening to anyone but those blinded by the right.

Hell, where I sincerely hope all these so-called christians will find their hateful asses eventually.

Religion has caused more death and destruction than any other cause.
