how many old order Amish businesses in the United States pay ss and Medicare.

The more foundational question is this: How many old order Amish businesses are there at all in the United States?

They just need to be nicer about it next time.

This is gaping door left open by the SCOTUS ruling. Just insult them with a smile next time.

What needs to be answered is whether a local law can violate the first amendment of the constitution.

I still maintain that if the commission does not investigate whether the couple targeted the Baker for their religion, then they are hostile.

The words of Jesus are never irrelevant. You know He was asked this question.

Are you a Pharisee?

[WuWei]

White males are a minority in this country.

[WuWei]

Because it’s his choice.

[WuWei]

That’s what they do.

[WuWei]

Does that church have to accept everyone?

@biggestal99

a religiously neutral manner

What does that mean?

[WuWei]

Is that what the homosexuals did?

[WuWei]

compatible with these precedents.

Not with the Constitution?

Does the SCOTUS put more weight on their own decisions or the Constitution?

@adroit

And Scalia wrote the opinion.

What difference does that make? He was wrong in Heller too.

[WuWei]

That’s not where that word came from.

To partisans party is all that matters.

Interesting. You keep talking about the law but I haven’t seen anyone demonstrate “tangible harm” that was actually caused in a single one of these cases. None of these bakers ended up keeping these weddings from going forward and the courts say tangible harm is required to have “standing” in a case. Unless you’re gay, apparently.

Never mind that these laws wouldn’t be needed in the first place if people were capable of acting like adults instead of petulant children when they don’t get their way.

Oh well.

Maybe tommy sticks wasn’t fun after they didn’t get their favorite cake.

[TheRedComet]

Yes yes yes. They do.

@Guvnah

Admitting what?

Seems to me you’re too unhinged to follow the real issue here. Maybe that’s why you seem so confused.

Just keep repeating, “It’s the person… It’s the person…”

“Uhinged lib.” You’re so original. I’m super serious.

[wiley8425]

Well, it isn’t like they took their money and then refused to do business with them. Or kept them from getting the same exact service somewhere else. Next, these people will be demanding that pastors be forced to perform the ceremony.

[wiley8425]

“Compatible with these precedents”, not compatible with the Constitution. But hey, you’re perfectly ok with the Federal government justifying not following the Constitution because a branch of the Federal government said it was ok. Makes sense.

[wiley8425]

Probably felt perfectly fine with “we investigated ourselves and found ourselves clear of any wrongdoing” as well.
