This is not an issue of religious police. The 10th amendment guarantees to the states and the people themselves all powers not granted to the federal government. The Constitution does not give the power to the federal government to regulate in this area. But the courts did a huge power grab today.
The portion of the 10th amendment reserving non-federal powers to the states has been de facto repealed by this ruling and others like it over the past 70 years.
And with political correctness run amuck, the move is already under way to remove the non-federal powers reserved for the people, and that means all our liberties.

Wrong. The 14th protects our rights to life, liberty, and property from violations by ANY level of government, fed/state/local.
