I believe some of Lonsberry's examples of theoretical applications of the law completely miss the mark, he's still correct in saying the decision was expedient rather than principled. Brewer showed no intestinal fortitude.

Expediency over principle. Its the American Way.

Jan Brewer just said it’s OK to use the power of the state to force someone to provide a service in violation of their religious beliefs.

they all are surrendering to the news media

they believe that news is really news. Why can’t they tell that news is just rabid socialist propaganda put out there by rabid socialist political operatives (namely democrats)

Expedient? Doubtful. More like pragmatic. There is no doubt that the Arizona law would have been overturned the instant it was tested in the courts. Her decision was pragmatic in that it spared Arizona the loses it would have incurred in a losing battle. Quite simply, don’t waste your strength fighting hopeless causes.

While fighting for principle make make you feel good, you have to pick the fights you can win and that will mean something if you win them. If you want to protect religious freedom in cases like this, you must change the US Constitution.

She was politically correct, but morally wrong.

Quite correct, Bob.

That certainly hit me in the face last night when the news came out about her veto. I'm very disappointed in her.

Nobody has yet sued a halal store wanting to compel it to sell bacon to a Christian.

That would be an interesting tack to take.

What she should do is ;
After this settles down a bit. Don’t hide behind the b/s or use it. Freely admit it was expediency. Play the “my state is the victim” role. Then go on the attack. , let the RINOS and the gutless business groups including the NFL cry fowl but won’t follow though on their threats. That would restore her creds

The Gov. succumbed to blackmail. She was weak and will be treated as such by the homo crowd and their cheerleaders in government and business.

How long will it be before doctors are required by law or court order to perform abortions even if they are against their religious beliefs?

My guess is, not long.

For example, don’t go to the halal store and ask for pork chops, or the kosher butcher and ask for ham

worth repeating.
