It's probably more about the 'right' to bully & how some folks want the government to 'be on their side' when it suits.

Let the "principles come to their own terms"? Do you mean the principals as 'actors' or the principles as in foundational belief systems?

Exactly, and it is these PRESSURE GROUPS from the LEFT that are the bullies. I have no problem with a private business denying me service FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. I will take my business elsewhere.

Any party/s involved in a potential transaction, agreement, arraignment, discussion, relationship..

Exactly. Facebook, Twitter, etc., do that all the time. They suspend accounts of those with whom they ideologically disagree, even though that's a direct violation of a belief in free speech. Wedding goods/service providers can decline to provide goods/services for same sex weddings. That's capitalism. /shrug

No, it wasn't. That same couple had been served numerous times in that same bakery. The baker just declined to create a specific work of art for them: a wedding cake. One cannot compel another to perform services for oneself.

So, you're saying the 'principals' as in actors in a particular scenario or business interaction?

& what are your insights into the foundational principles upon which a group of peoples societies, communities, nations ... are built?
