This article's a little old but I thought it was relevant since Jack Phillips' case is being heard. The only thing that even matters to me with this case is Kennedy. I know he ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. Does anyone know how if he has ruled on any other religious liberty cases in the past, and if so, how he ruled?

So she was fine selling flowers for 9 years to him when she knew he was ghey?? Hmmm

If the government can usurp the right to free association, then what right can't it claim? The fact that an establishment may be a "public accommodation" makes not one whit of difference. There are some members of the public I wish to serve; there are others I do not. How is that any different than the fact that there are some people with whom I would gladly associate, and there are some with whom I would not associate at gunpoint?

I am not required to allow every person into my home. Why am I required to allow every person into my business?

Kennedy was the deciding vote making same-sex marriage legal throughout the land because after all it was only fair - I wouldn’t count on him to value religious liberty over not hurting some gay’s feelings......

Basic Property Right?

There are no property rights. You are allowed sometimes to use property as long as you pay the government rent on it (They call it 'property taxes' to make you think that you actually own it), or until the government or some special interest group decides that they have more right to it than you do.

I got an email from Uber saying that they were going to fight discrimination by refusing to do business with anyone who has views of which they disapprove. Let that sink in for a minute. Now I’m refusing to do business with Uber because I disapprove of them.

“The Right to Discriminate Is a Basic Property Right”

ABSOLUTELY.

And yet the ‘Sweet Cakes by Melissa’ debacle drags on. Hopefully they can take this one to the Supreme court as well.

I, as an owner and against gayness, would agree. Need it this Friday? No problem. Friday have assistant run the business while I am off sick. LATER tell his gayness, “I was thinking of making that arrangement, but suddenly became very ill; throwing up, high fever, etc. Maybe it was a sign from God. How did your wedding work out?”

The purpose of this is to force Christians to choose between their faith and their job. Obviously none of this will be done to muzzies.

"Refusing to sell a product has everything to do with property rights. Since no potential customer has a claim on the property of any business owner, he has no legal recourse if the owner of the property refuses to sell it to him."

Damn straight. I've been suffering through Zinn's A Peoples History of the United States. The concept of property rights has been attcked by the left since forever.
