It Appears your World does not give you the Time to Understand the Constitution as Well. There does not NEED to be a Conflict with the Federal Government for a Company to be held Liable for Wrongful Termination of Employment over a Freedom of Speech Issue.
Do we really want to delve into a quasi-socialistic pit here.
Sometimes it’s good to just go on to the next thing. It’s not as if the Robertsons are going to care about a little less gravy in their gravy train, not when they care about God more and are looking positively to a world beyond this mortal coil and to which their mammon can’t go.
Trying to bribe or threaten a resolute Christian will back fire on whoever did it. Badly. God is very jealous about what is under the Blood.
Wrongful termination of employment over a Freedom of Speech Issue?
Is there some such provision in Phil Robertson's employment contract?
If not, then what book of collectivist dogma does that ridiculous notion come from?
There's no such thing as "wrongful termination of employment" unless such termination is in breach of a contract which was signed by both parties.
In the absence of such an employment contract, the ownership of a company has an essentially absolute right to terminate any employee for any reason, or for no reason. There is not some unalienable right to keeping a job when an employee is no longer wanted by a company's ownership.
