FULL TITLE:

Mississippi Lawmakers Approve Religious Freedom Bill SB 2681, Gov. Phil Bryant Will Sign; Gay Activists Call it Discriminatory

[My take: Judge will rule it unconstitutional and void it ]. We've seen this movie before...

[Nextrush]

Mitt Romney tweeted against a similar bill in Arizona and John McCain joined loudly in the chorus that supported Governor Jan Brewer in vetoing it.

Any chorus here from the GOPe.

The courts will step in eventually I would suspect.

PROUD Magnolia State PING!

[JSDude1]

LGBT activists oppose this, tells you all we really need to know about these SAD, SAD People.

[RginTN]

I’m sure local media will repeat the gay talking points like they did for the TN version of this bill.

Glad that in MS the first amendment is respected by the state legislature and they don’t collapse like a wet noodle in the face of criticism by those hostile to Christians.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Call me nuts, but I thought it was already illegal to deny services based on religion.

[Amendment10]

... LGBT activists have attacked the bill as discriminatory.

As a consequence of the parents of LGBT activist evidently not making sure that their children were taught about 10th Amendment protected state powers versus constitutionally enumerated rights, misguided LGBT activists unsurprisingly do not understand the following.

Regardless of PC, pro-gay interpretations of the 14th Amendment's (14A) Equal Protections Clause, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay rights. This is evidenced by the Supreme Court's decision in Minor v. Happersett which clarified that 14A added no new constitutional protections.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had (emphasis added).” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

So the states are free to make laws which discriminate on the basis of anything not expressly protected by the Constitution, PC gay "rights" for example, as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge enumerated protections such as 1st Amendment-protected religious rights.

[Viennacon]

Yes! SCREW YOU, BREWER!

[Theodore R.]

Is this the same measure that that silly governor of AZ was afraid to sign?

[Zionist Conspirator]

I assume all Black Democrats in the state legislature voted against it, like good little liberals?

After all, nobody wants to be an "uncle tom" like all those folks in Africa.

[Sybeck1]

Thad Cochran said what?

[Lurker]

“Nobody should be refused service because of who they are.”

What utter bullcrap.
