"Church of Body Modification"?

How many women have been honorary members of that one, unknowingly?

I am a member of Universal Beer Drinkers United, UBDU. I am a Cardinal in the UBDU. DUI laws infringe on my right to practice my religion.

Perhaps the guy that got arrested for spitting on Jane Fonda should start a church called "The Church of Tabakky Spittin' on Commie Traitors".

Yeah, well I'm a member of the "Church of Casual Dress" and thus cannot wear a suit to work since it would violate my religion.

She wears an eyebrow ring as a "sign of faith".

What a giant, steaming pant load.

In bizarro USA, where we live, the SC won't "hear" the travesty of Terri Shiavo's legalized torture-death, but will take this case.

The railroad let Phineas Gage return to work after his piercing. (although his was unintentional)

Probably an offshoot of Subgenius.

That would make Bob very unhappy.

"Kimberly M. Cloutier said she wears her eyebrow ring as a sign of faith."

Faith in what?

I must admit to a fantasy regarding thie freakish behavior of piercings.

One day I'd like to walk up to someone out of the blue who's wearing a ring in their ( fill in the blank ) & using one of those spring loaded clasps the kind one finds on a dog's leash, hitch 'em up.
And as I do tell 'em matter of factly.

..."c'mere".

My understanding is that as a private employer Costco can set up pretty much any policy for appearance provided they don't specifically target a religious belief (i.e. allowing necklaces but not crosses on the necklace). Since this policy is about piercings in general, and not targeted to this woman's "religion" I don't see how she can win.

Memo to Kimberly:
You must first spend several years working your case through lower courts before you get the US Supreme Court. Perhaps you'll grow up by then.

She will lose. Costco's actions did not deprive her of her right to modify her body. They did not require her to undo her modification. Only to remove a piece of hardware from the modification.

Now, if she'd been fired for "modifying" her body while at work....
