What she’s saying is that the First Amendment means that you can believe in your heart and mind what you want, but you can’t act on it without federal permission, as far as religion goes. As to her point about a religious objection to providing medical care, Christianity doesn’t allow for letting gays die by refusing them medical care, so that’s a red herring. Big difference between refusing to participate in a wedding and depraved heart manslaughter by refusing to save a life.
“Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, you know, to observe deeply held religious beliefs. I don’t think it extends far beyond that. We’ve seen the set of arguments play out in issues such as access to contraception. Should it be the individual pharmacist whose religious beliefs guides whether a prescription is filled, or in this context, they’re talking about expanding this far beyond our churches and synagogues to businesses and individuals across this country. I think there are clear limits that have been set in other contexts and we ought to abide by those in this new context across America.” – Sen. Baldwin
Well sure, I believe in it. Does that mean the SCOTUS will grasp it? Not at all.
I can think of green for what it is. But if the Supreme Court declares it to be red, there won’t be much I can do about it.
It will still be green, but they will force me to call it red.

.......Of course there’s nothing honest about the five liberals on this court, and Chief Justice Roberts makes that point in his dissent. He expresses skepticism as to the majority’s sincerity: “The majority graciously suggests that religious believers may continue to ‘advocate’ and ‘teach’ their views of marriage,” he writes. “The First Amendment guarantees, however, the freedom to ‘exercise‘ religion. Ominously, that is not a word the majority uses.”
That too. Yes, it won’t be long.
No. As Christians we will not be changing our beliefs. In fact we feel stronger and more resolute in our convictions.
Now what rainbow people?
So now we’re going to see a grudge match between the first amendment and the new Supreme Court penumbra right.
They are poking the bear. 80 million armed Americans with firm beliefs are not to be pushed and pushed with no consequences.
The sound of gunfire can be musical
Here comes the over reach. You can always count on the lefts nut factor to push the envelope and demand the imposable, the Left can NEVER be satisfied they must be routed and destroyed, do to them what they would do to us. Don’t think so, listen to the fascist left tell us we MUST do what they say or else...what do you think they have in mind?
Obama and Hillary are saying the same kind of things: That Christians MUST change their beliefs to accommodate the beast
It does.
We are close to America’s own “enabling acts”.
The Yellowstone Caldera blowing would be a bit more than a "reset"...
More like a life ending event...for a vast majority of Americans
The battle lines are being drawn, and this conservative Christian will not bow to the demands of the homosexual lobby or the US government.
Resists we much.
;^)
Tammy Baldwin shoving homosexuality down our throats.
FReep Mail me if you want off, or on, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
What a thought, sure hope it happens. Can’t imagine why they wouldn’t do that./s
I am very well aware of that and you have to wipe the hard drive clean and start fresh
Then gays must participate in christian heterosexual weddings.
Oh, Tammy...just STFU! You were 100% BOUGHT and PAID FOR by outside interests. Wisconsin knows WHO YOU ARE, you freak.
Again, Wisconsin is very, VERY sorry we were selected as her launching pad, to later be foisted upon the rest of America. It could’ve been ANY state. Don’t think your state is immune from Big Money in Politics!
WHY can’t OUR SIDE be that smart? Huh? HUH?
*SPIT*
And we’re not too happy with Ron Johnson, either. And Glenn Grothman is giving us the vapors these days, too!
Grrrrrrrr!
Yes, by all means, lets invite the Westboro Baptist to join in at some gay wedding. I'm sure they'll bring some sunshine to the party.
