Churches and church schools will now no longer be able to prevent homosexuals from being hired into spiritual leadership and teaching positions.

This is a challenge to religious freedom.

Companies can’t even ask your age or marital status. You think now they’re going to ask your sexual preference? LOL.

Who recommended Gorsuch for the job? Any idiot should have known that being educated at Columbia and then living in Boulder Colorado he was no conservative.

We know that’s not the intent because Senator Barney Frank filed multiple amendments to ADD transgender and homosexual protection to it.

Apparently the list of nominees was drawn up by the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

I actually saw this as good news. You can only discriminate based on traits that affect their ability to to the job. That applies to race, sex, age, number of limbs, etc. I’m not really seeing the problem with this.

Agreed. In fact, rather than having to have new laws created to give extra special rights to the LGBTQXYZ community, the SC just said there's no need. They are protected against discrimination just like everybody else. That's a good thing. It does not, however, protect the LGBTQXYZers from being fired for their acts.

That is EXACTLY why I saw it as good news. It’s why I was also against the ERA. It singled out one sex over another. Preposterous.

WRONG. DESI recruiters still ask for scans of Driver’s License, Passport etc. Complained to the EEOC. The EEOC doesn’t care

Anti-discrimination laws are unconstitutional. It violates a citizen’s right to free association. Private businesses and clubs should be able to discriminate on any basis whatsoever. Only government must be banned from discrimination.

Black free market economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are in total agreement. Anti-discrimination violate our freedoms and give government control over our lives and businesses. Discrimination has a price. If a business doesn’t want to hire someone because he is bald, then another business will be more than happy to have a bald, qualified employee.

No pun intended, I hope.

The knee jerk reaction was when Gorsuch was nominated in the first place and tons of FReepers blindly praised the pick and hailed him as a “proven originalist” because Trump said he was.
