Religious institutions could be at risk of losing their tax-exempt status due to their beliefs about marriage if the Supreme Court holds that gay couples have a constitutional right to wed, President Obama’s attorney acknowledged to the Supreme Court today. “It’s certainly going to be an issue,” Solicitor General Donald Verrilli replied when Justice Samuel Alito asked if schools that support the traditional definition of marriage would have to be treated like schools that once opposed interracial marriage. “I don’t deny that.”

What will get you up out of those Laz-E-Boys, couches and man caves and out in the streets with the torches, pitchforks, tar & feathers?
Obama’s lawyer, another fascist POS heard from.
These clowns must really want a war.
No, not a war, just absolute victory. How? Salami tactics!
Executive Branch might lose control if they continue to screw with Constitutional Rights.
They've already started one in Baltimore.
Such a tax move would return things to the pre 50’s status quo wouldn’t it?
This will be like the rabbit getting thrown into the briar patch.
I think even they are going to ponder how hard they want to hit the Christian beehive.
I’d like to see the churches say “We don’t care. Tax us. We will give to God what is God’s. And to Caesar what is Caesar’s. If there’s anything left after we give to God.”
So the Catholic church could lose tax exempt status?
Is this the likely scenario:
Step 1. Churches that don’t recognize gay “marriage” lose their tax exempt staus.
Step 2. The government fines out of existence and closes these churches because they are “just another business” and “discriminating” against gays by not holding gay “wedding” ceremonies is reason enough to close down these “businesses” (churches).
Followers of the Huckster, Joel Olsteen and others will just go along....
Step 3: Churches that don't recognize sodomite "marriage" are officially identified as "hate groups" by the DoJ.
Step 4: Congregants of those churches are summarily fired from federal civil service and administratively discharged from the military (active membership in a hate group is incompatible with federal service).
Step 5: The administration publishes a rule in the FAR demanding that government contractors do not employ members of "hate groups." They are then fired from all companies with government contracts or subcontracts.
Next comes banning the Bible as “hate speech”, then monitoring church sermons and arrest and jail for any Pastors who dare preach against homosexuality. It’s already happened in countries where gay marriage is recognized.
.....Which will plant the seeds of a massive revolt/civil war. Baltimore is just a preview.
