Now with the Colorado ruling saying that religion can override public accommodation laws

[BS Filter]

Ahh... Ok. I can't care. That's just splitting regulatory hairs. The government has no business interfering.

Agree. Thanks for agreeing that state laws can't override the Constitution. I think you're finally getting it.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

How long will it be before some business refuses service to black people because they say it's against the owner's religion?

Which religion might that be?

 

[SavannahMann]

Nope. You just don't understand why.

Indeed. So tell me. What parts of the Bible can we ignore?

Don't insult me by agreeing with me. You don't even understand what I'm saying.

 

[Calypso Jones]

You think the woman who filed the suit was a Leftist?

NO I DO NOT. I KNOW SHE IS CHRISTIAN. You guys are so saturated with leftist propaganda you can't even follow the natural flow of the conversation.

 

[BS Filter]

Indeed. So tell me. What parts of the Bible can we ignore?

Any part you want. You can ignore the entire thing. Isn't that freedom?

 

[BS Filter]

Don't insult me by agreeing with me. You don't even understand what I'm saying.

I don't think even you understand what you're saying. Everything you say is an insult to any intelligent being.

It would violate Twitter, Facebook and Google’s first amendment rights.

Idiot, corporations have no rights.

NOT ONE.

Not a single fucking one.

The SCOTUS case we are talking about is

303 Creative LLC v. Elenis​

Do you know what LLC stands for?

 

[mak2]

Which religion might that be?

The church I went to as a kid discriminated against blacks siting some kind of lost tribe that we were not suppose to mix with. I forget exactly, but something like that.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

So then you agree that a Muslim deli owner should be able to refuse to serve infidels (aka white people) in accordance with his religion?

In a just world yes. But this case has nothing to do with freedom of religion. This is the freedom of an artist to decide what she will or will not create.

Bet they don't know who Elenis is either.

Hey - you seem like a nice person but you have some very wrong and dangerous ideas. I don't want to dig into you again, but it seems like you need some education. Most of all you need to understand the words in the Constitution, and what they mean.

So let's start there.

Show me where, in the Constitution, it says corporations have any rights.

NOWHERE.

In fact, it says EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE, doesn't it.

It says business is to be REGULATED.

Regulations are the opposite of Rights.

This is an excellent point.

SCOTUS clearly erred in this case by extending constitutional rights to 303 Creative LLC, which is a corporation.

Corporations are legal persons and have every right that people do.

Consider this example.

An indie record label, sells rap.

They hire people from Craig's List, to work on Pro Tools. I know o e such outfit that has 24 full time employees doing nothing but ProTools.

So now, the boss says to his employee, "I want you to put an echo here, where the song says "OPP'.


And the employee says "no, I ain't gonna do that, it's against my religion".

What happens?

Can they go to jail?

303 Creative is not a corporation. It is an LLC, meaning a Limited Liability Company.

But yes. Corporations are people and have always been people.

Are Corporations People?

During the Obama years, the American left has repeatedly insisted that "corporations are not people," and that assertions about the freedom of speech or of religion with regard to corporations are incoherent and dishonest. But that is not how our leg...

I would love to argue this point, but... different thread. I'll participate if you'd like to start one about this...
