Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) hopes his state’s governor will veto legislation that would allow business owners to cite their religious beliefs in denying gay and lesbian customers.
Flake tweeted Saturday, “I hope Governor Brewer vetoes SB 1062.”
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is now wrestling with whether to sign SB 1062 into law as both the state’s Senate and House have passed the bill. The legislation, known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, would allow business owners to operate according to their own religious beliefs.
Religious conservatives say the bill is necessary so people can practice their own faiths. Critics say the bill would allow for businesses to discriminate against gay and lesbians.

McCain has joined Flake in calling for Brewer to veto the bill.
Three state senators (Worsley, Driggs and Pierce), all of whom voted for the bill, signed a letter asking the Governor to veto it.
Does anyone now think Brewer will sign the bill?
Another primary out opprutunity.
Well, maybe, but not until the year 2018.
My dad used to say all things come to he who waits. See a appropriate here. Hopefully we will be able to knock off a few of these b@stards every election.
“... all things come to he who waits ...”
-
In full context that is from a poem by Violet Fane (1843-1905) “Tout vient ß qui sait attendre”
-
Ah, all things come to those who wait,
I say these words to make me glad,
But something answers soft and sad,
They come, but often come too late.

“...the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for THOSE PRACTICING HOMOSEXUALITY, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine...” (I Tim. 1:9-10)
How can people see homosexuality included with all of these other horrible things, and still believe it’s OK? Logic would say that everything else is fine if homosexuality is.
Indeed.
two outstanding points! Thanks.
Lord, I confess I HATE Jeff McFlake! He didn’t even wait to get into office before he took a hard left turn!
He wanted military retiree pay cut, and was one of 3 Senators to vote to keep those cuts. He voted to go to war in Syria. And he wants Christians to submit to extortion by homosexual activists.
Lord, we have him for 5 more years...unless you call him to that Great Primary in the Sky before then...Please?
“Muslims could refuse to serve blind people with dogs, Scientologists could use it to refuse to serve whatever the heck it is that violates their religion, where does it end?”
Religious freedom, where does it end?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech...”
