I will push peacefully for Convention of States, but should you cross the red line and force our hand by incriminating speech of dissent so that we cannot get it done or should it appear to be failing due to inability to get 38 states, my loyalties stand with the true American patriots and against the tyrannical federal government, wherever the winds of that standing against them may blow....
Since when are websites considered public accommodations? This very site we are posting on can delete posts and ban people for what ever they decide is against TOS. A bakery is a public accommodation under federal and state law.

So a privately owned website can do what it wants but a privately owned baker can't? Perhaps the baker should get himself labeled as a "public accommodation" so he can sidestep the Gaystapo!

Public accommodations are covered under anti-discrimination laws, web sites are not public accommodations.
The baker is already a public accommodation, he can not change that unless he wants to become a private membership only club.

No ruling yet. Don't go counting chickens before they hatch.


"Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief? To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself"

A. Scalia.

I don't understand how religious people who claim to have so much "faith" in their all powerful God yet feel the need to constantly speak for this entity, what he wants, what he thinks, what he desires. If they are so convinced that he is the most powerful being to have ever existed, why are they so insecure about God? I believe "religious freedom" is a poorly disguised way of saying "freedom to be an a-hole while taking no blame for my actions."

Oh, I see, you think if it’s law, it’s right. What a good obedient citizen you are.
