In theory, sure. But even in theory, "we" comprises individuals who are pitted against each other. I don't see any meaningful resistance to the power of the government, the prevailing view is to be law abiding, because that's the right way to be.
-- They cannot hope to prevail without our cooperation. --
They are advancing effectively right now, and I suspect against the wishes of a majority of the public.
Really..why?...the government can now requires your to provide services without question?.... Because in get the impression your comming from a libertarian perspective that doesn’t sound very libertarian
so questions. . In Nevada...brothels and prostitution are legal in some areas... are the women in these business required by law to service and and all (male or female) customer.?.. or would that be rape?.
In addition to fighting this on 1st amendment freedom of religion grounds, this needs to be fought on 1st amendment freedom of assembly grounds.
Nope. The law is that "public accommodations" may not discriminate on certain bases, one of the bases being engagement in the immoral conduct of homosexuality.
I still maintain that we resist these actions at all costs. This should be where we take our stand. This is a hill to die, if necessary, on.
Easily solved - Richard, Harrold, well bless your hearts, you want to get married when? Let me check my schedule. Uh, sorry, we’re already booked that day. The next weekend? No, we’ll be on vacation. The next? No, we’re going to West Africa but we could fit you in when we get back.
Just as I predicted years ago. This will be one of many such instances to come.
And they will continue to until they reach a "trigger" point, like they did with Cliven Bundy or this Ferguson situation.
There is little need to worry about "law-abiding" when the chief law enforcement officer in the land applies laws selectively, with the active encouragement of his boss and the media. The social contract is dissolved and the rule of law no longer applies.
I wonder if they stopped charging a fee they'd no longer be a "public accommodation."
