WildRose:

Are you just fundamentally incapable of giving a straight answer?

One more time.

What does The First Amendment say on the subject of religion?

The first amendment does not in any way protect people choice to publicly discriminate against their follow citizens.

maybe in a perfect society such rules wouldn’t need to exist but you couldn’t be trusted to play nicely with your toys and kept discriminating against black people so big mean poppa government gave you a time out.

now back to the subject of the thread political belief isn’t a protected class but Trump voters are free to change their state laws like homosexual did to add it.

Not bad lol

Ok so once again we’ve established that you are fundamentally incapable of giving a straight answer.

Thanks.

Wrong yet again. I understand it perfectly well.

Now, one last chance, what does the First Amendment say on the subject of religion?

You are posting in a thread where a conservative sued for discrimination…

FreeAndClear · 2018-04-27T12:46:55.728Z

This is the same seument made during the civil rights era. It’s over

Gaius:

right by ‘mandating gay marriage’ you THOUGHT I meant mandating that gay people marry.

You DIDN’T think I meant mandating that gov and nongov instutions not discriminate , bake their cakes, serve them beer regardless what their hat say. etc.etc. (rolleyes)

They were your words, not mine. And I sought clarification, rather than immediately assume. It’s all fine though my friend. Let it be done and we can move on.

is anyone really free if we can’t discriminate our fellow other citizens.

No…

Auto129:

Then you go to court, and the judge sees through that nonsense. Like they did here. Conservative isn’t a protected class.

“Class”. Interesting word.

Gaius:

I agree with this ruling.
I don’t know all the details. I think it’s outrageous that it happened, but, I agree with the ruling.

Judge rules New York City bar can refuse service to Trump supporter wearing MAGA hat | Fox News

Ok so if a Bar owner sees a person wearing a Black Power or Black Lives Matter T-shirt can the Bar owner refuse to give service to the person because of the shirt?
How much you bet it would turn into Race issue over the T-shirt in that situation.

I agree with the Ruling but i don’t think it would be held equally to all.

PurpnGold · 2018-04-27T13:51:25.678Z

Those would be shirt empowering a protected class of people. Why would that be the same as wearing a MAGA hat or t-shirt?

ZeroBravoPorkchop · 2018-04-27T13:51:49.882Z

Fair enuff and I agree. Court got it right.

Illegal_Alien · 2018-04-27T13:55:56.750Z

It is the same, because the Bar Owner is not removing them from the bar because they are Black but because of the shirt they are wearing. Which is basically the same as the MAGA hat they asked them to leave because of the article of clothing.

But as i said people would view the situation as i pointed out as racists. Like you did and not the same.

WildRose:

I’ll ask you again, “what does the first amendment say” on the subject of religion?

It says
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”

Thus Congress cannot deny funds to, nor grant special tax status or other privileges to religions.

Slap together a set of beliefs and call it a religion, and Congress cannot recognize the fact that you call it a religion.

The 14th Amendment
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States…”

Extends that to states as well as the municipalities and school districts they create.

Sadly,
many have decided to mentally rewrite the first amendment a “Congress shall not create an official national religion.”

It does not read that. It does not imply that. Of course to establish a state religion Congress would first need to recognize nice that a collection of beliefs has been established as a religion so “cannot establish an official state religion” is part of what it means, but that is a small part. It goes much further.

Help me understand…how is MAGA…which is a political slogan about a non-protected class (unless America is a protected class) the same as Black Lives Matter…which is a political statement about empowering a protected class of people?
