People aren’t going to win the argument, exempt if they want to try, that their religious liberty is substantially burdened if they have to sell a lesbian a hamburger.

And who gets to judge if religious liberty is burdened, especially in this day of wacko cults and people like Westboro Baptist abusing religion to their own ends? Do you want the state to do that? And in the instance I mentioned, a member of a white supremacist Christian Identity church, how can the state come out and say that serving black people isn't an undue burden on their devoutly held, if hate-filled, religious beliefs?

My argument isn't against the intent of the law, but the way it is crafted. It's too vague and allows for any kind of abuse.

Well, gee...what would you prefer? Do you want some kind if alternative system of government where judges aren’t tasked with interpreting and applying the laws?
