Impeach the judges.

It’s the only solution.

[YourAdHere]

Impeach the judges.

Show them the back door.

[hal ogen]

TYRANNY!

[thirst4truth]

Sounds like a job for the militia.

Ongoing discussion here.

Why didn’t the “couple” just go to a mosque? That woulda learned those capitalist Christian pigs a lesson.

[silverleaf]

the Knapps could always become muslim, and then countersue for having their beliefs “disrespected”. It only takes a phrase.

[Blood of Tyrants]

“The city cannot erase these fundamental freedoms and replace them with government coercion and intolerance.”

Sure, it can. Just watch the “tolerant” liberals do it.

[SoFloFreeper]

We will be sending money to ADF. The ADF cases defending college student’s freedom formed the basis for the film “God’s Not Dead”.

ADF has been remarkably successful so far in defending religious freedom.

[ThunderSleeps]

So the government is going to dictate religious beliefs now?

Guess they're throwing out the 1st Amendment now too?,

They've been chipping away at the 2nd Amendment.

The 4th Amendment gets pushed to the limit at checkpoints.

The 6th Amendment doesn't apply if you happen to be a white person defending your life and end up killing the black person assaulting you.

The 9th Amendment seems to be forgotten.

The federal government sure seems to ignore the 10th Amendment.

Do muslims perform weddings? Just curious....

[rigelkentaurus]

yes, especially temporary ones, preferably where the bride is underage and unwilling. That is there favorite kind.

[red-dawg]

If there are goats present, then yes.

[Biggirl]

Do civil disobedence!

[skeeter]

Isn’t a liberal government in Coeur d’Alene one of the signs of the End Times?

[RJS1950]

I’m not sure how this one will play out. Although forcing businesses to provide gays wedding services is definitely unconstitutional, it has been established for the time being.

This wedding chapel is being run as a business, not as a church with a congregation so they may be screwed with the precedent regarding other businesses who have been “forced” to comply.

[Responsibility2nd]

No surprise. Just a matter of time before this takes place all over the US.
