MGB:_Hard cases make bad law, although this issue must be faced. The question of cake baking is moot. What is before the court was whether the Baker was deliberately rude to a customer in such a manner as to be discriminatory. Doing one of his impressionistic cake paintings should not be required, but declaring his lack of support for their right to marry goes beyond political speech into discrimination. He does not realize he did a shameful thing. A fine is a great educational tool.
Some might say that arranged marriages save us from that kind of bad behavior by men, but that would be inacurate. Women having power saves us from bad behavior by men, including bishops.
This bill will require compromise to pass, not only between House and Senate Republicans but with the Democrats. I don’t see how they can compromise with something like this, although shifting from a 20% corporate income tax to a 33% value added tax with offsets including health insurance and a $1000 per child per month tax credit for famlies might help (if the GOP would even accept that). This bill is best killed. We need to increase taxes on the rich at the highest levels, not reduce them. If this bill passes, we may yet get a test of whether Marxism predicted things correctly regarding revolution.
I am not in favor of blue laws, but every worker should have a Sabbath, especially students. Everyone deserves one day off of school, rest and homework, with Church being optional.
Moore indulges his supporters in a shared persecution complex, which is strange coming from a white person in Alabama, the essential home of racial persecution in modern America. Creepiness or not, keep that dog out of the Senate by the means at hand and send the Attorney General home too.
