Conservatives believe that if your religion tells you that you should discriminate against minorities,
that not only makes it right, it makes it constitutional.
Actually strict constructional federalists believe that you have to show a compelling government interest to override someones 1st amendment right to free exercise, and then the remedy has to be the least intrusive possible.
But you guys are "all or nothing" and have not been able to compromise in decades, so we get the SC to decide the issue.
If 'free exercise' involves denying someone else their constitutional rights, then the least intrusive remedy is to simply stop them from doing that.
Where is there a constitutional right to a cake?
It is a constitutional right not to be discriminated against in a business open to the public.
No kidding, so when it was Dave and Busters discriminating against veterans it was OK, but baking a cake discriminating against a gay couple wasn't OK.
