As I asked in another post....
If the Federal government made a rule mandating that all businesses must immediately fire all Christians and a Governor passed a law saying that it was illegal to do that, would you criticize the Governor?
I don’t see the difference between these scenarios.
The federal government made the initial aggression against the liberty of the business owners. Sometimes acts of defense aren’t pretty nor would they be legitimate without some other instigating act.
Well, your scenario would be illegal because neither the government nor private business can discriminate on the basis of religion, but I agree with your basic point that both the federal and state laws infringe on the rights of the business owners.
I guess the question is is there compelling public health interest in firing Christians. I don't see it.
