Pissed yet?
Why did they hire this clown in the first place
If they were Christians refusing to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding, it would have been a whole different situation.
Where is the ACLU?

I think once the company admitted they could easily accommodate the request, it was over for them.
But don’t you DARE refuse to dispense Plan B if you’re a pharmacist!
Looks like America’s pretty much walked out the door and ‘something” else altogether has taken over to suck the life out of what’s left.........(sigh)
I don’t know what they’re driving but if it’s gas fueled, they’re transporting alcohol every mile they drive.
But Muslim truck drivers WILL toss a live goat in the back of their loaded semi (loaded with boxes of manufacturing components) for a six hour drive back to Dearborn, in order to sacrifice it.
And you wondered how boxes get damaged in transportation?
(I raise goats, and this actually just happened to me last month when I sold one to a guy who asked me to meet him at a truck stop. My jaw was hanging open when he opened the doors and I saw the truck was loaded, so much that I couldn’t protest but only stared in disbelief.)
I wonder if the same would have happened if the drivers were Mormon. I doubt it.

I can only surmise that the spectre of some distant fear within, strikes at the courts in some respects. Try getting a successful judgement regarding the abrogation of Christian beliefs. The only other fact is that according to the Peoria Journal Star. Star Transport is bankrupt. (Smart move?)
I am indebted to the British Guardian newspaper for this information. 74 year old Karl Andree, oil executive in Saudi Arabia for 25 years, was caught with home made wine. Though it has not been carried out he was sentenced to 500 lashes. Appeals are made to PM David Cameron to intervene. Family says the relative will die if sentence is carried out.
The Arabic high authorities must think we in the West are the biggest fools ever.
I agree .. no Christian is ever afforded such an exemption from certain portions of their jobs.
So Christians are required to bake cakes and make flower arrangements or they go to jail, but Muslims can do anything they want and call “religious freedom”.
If I was in ISIS, I’d be planning to blow Americans up too. :)
I’ll bet Kim Davis is happy to hear that she can now expect $240K!!!
Then people wonder why employers are reluctant to hire women, blacks, queers, and now mudslimes.
These people do it to themselves.
I guess the key is never hire them in the first place
Don’t hire Muslims, problem solved.
There are major constitutional problems indicated by the excerpt above imo. First, regardless what FDR’s activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), a previous generaton of state-sovereignty respecting justices had clarified the following. The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce, which reasonably includes not interfering with an employer’s decision to fire employees.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Next, even if the states had delegated such powers to the feds, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected bureacrats like those running the EPA, FCC or EEOC. So Congress has a constitutional “monopoly” on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not imo.
But by delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to non-elected bureaucrats, powers that Congress doesn’t have in the first place in this case, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting such powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.
Next …
Regarding the idea of an employer violating an employee’s constitutional rights, please consider the following. The Supreme Court had clarified in United States v. Cruikshank, that case dealing with the scope of constitutional rights, that the Constitution protects a citizen’s enumerated rights only from the state and federal governments, not from other citizens.
So the constitutionally undefined EEOC actually has no constitutional basis for its religious freedom violation accusations against the referenced employer imo. And I don’t think that religious issues were the main reason that the employer fired the employees. After all, the employer had hired them!
Finally, it appears that the EEOC was intended to police all kinds of INTRAstate discrimination issues related to Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s & 70s. The problem with this is the following.
The only civil rights issues that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect, for which the feds have the 14th Amendment power to legislatively address, are three of the four voting rights amendments as evidenced by the 15th, 19th and 26th Amendments. So the low-information, Democratic-controlled (I think) Congress of the 60s and 70s actually had no constitutional authority to make laws addressing intrastate discrimination issues outside the scope of constitutionally enumerated voting rights.
In fact, the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, low-information Senate once again failed to protect the states as the Founding States had established the Senate to do. In this case the Senate failed to kill the constitutionally indefensible bills that led to the civil rights acts.
Note that the Senate also failed to use its constitutional Article V power to lead Congress to propose civil rights amendments to the Constitution to the states. If the states had chosen to ratify such amendments, then Congress would have the constitutional authority to make such laws.
As mentioned in related threads, the ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt, Constitution-ignoring senators who help to pass unconstitutional bills along with it.
