The real question is, what is the source of the jurisdiction that presumes the power to deny an American their pre-existing right of conscience - since the First Amendment explicitly acknowledges it?

pre-existing right of conscience

What if someone refuses to rent out a property to a black family because his "conscience" does not allow him to do it ?

I bet the law would nullify his "conscience".

There is probably a limit to how one applies his conscience towards refusing service to others.

Excellent and true. You have an absolute right of conscience.

Controllers just don’t believe you should use it against them.

The real issue, unspoken but loud and clear is:

Should health care workers have ...... conscience? not,
“Should health care workers have “the right” of conscience?”
When in heaven’s name was man’s conscience something that he did or did not have a RIGHT TO? This is strange...
a different meaning of the word, I fear, which obamakins’ athiest minions are forcing on us in subtle ways by changing our meaning of words.

and, conversely, should people have consciences? this is a serious thing... if obamakins can throw out the reality of a conscience because it can’t be seen... the rest of our humanity will come under assault.
