Is this hypothetical law constitutional? (I don't care if you think it's a terrible law, but only if it passes constitutional muster)
"Any stores that opens up has to stay open 7 days a week"
If you think this law is unconstitutional if it doesn't include religious exemptions, then you must also think Anti Discrimination laws that force people to violate their religion by participating in a same sex "wedding" (caterers, bakers, photographers, wedding hall owners etc.) to be unconstitutional.
anyone who think there should be a constitutional distinction between anti discrimination laws and seven days a week work laws please explain.
PS. The hypothetical law was passed because people were not able to get certain essential products on certain days of the week, and had to drive miles away
Operating a business is neither a right nor is anyone forced to do so, so those laws are not unconstitutional.
This. Too few conservatives who parade themselves as constitutional scholars have any clue what the hell they are talking about, and I bet the posts here and the poll will reflect that.

Can you clarify where the Bible says thou shall not bake a cake to be used in a gay wedding? Must have missed that class of Sunday school.
Only humanity and the need to control others actions by intervention, does freedom and liberties get taken.
Some are given back as a privilege, for a fee, or get beat up and locked away. The bully tactic works until someone stands up to the bully.

Anarchy has no law. Move to a lawless country, and you will learn all about bullies.
Free societies are different. You have it backwards.

A law requiring businesses open 7 days a week wouldn't allow businesses to selectively deny service to people because of owners' bigotry. Your analogy is utterly meaningless.
The government shouldn't force a business to be closed any day of the week, nor should they force a business to stay open 7 days a week.
