PHOENIX — The Arizona Legislature gave final approval Thursday to legislation that allows business owners asserting their religious beliefs to refuse service to gays and others, drawing backlash from Democrats who called the proposal "state-sanctioned discrimination" and an embarrassment.

Considering that people are sick of hysterical homos, I think the Ninth Circuit won’t dare refuse it.
I’m not sure I understand you...are you saying the 9th would take it and uphold it because they’re tired of the homosexuals’ hysterical whining?
Just read the “latest.” The Guv is in DC for the Guvs’ meeting going on, and says she’ll decide by the deadline, as if she just now heard about it. Her finger is wet and in the air, so who knows if she’ll Veto or not...the choices are 1) sign, 2) Veto or 3) do nothing and it become law in 90 days.
Now the sissy-screaming starts, and she’ll have an excuse to Veto.
But can you see any reason why the Arizona law wouldn't protect Muslims under the situations I described?
I can. The law is written specifically to protect the decisions made by "Business Owners". Unless the cabbie owns the cab company, company policy rules.
I suggest you read the law. It applies to individuals and not just business owners. SB1062.
And it's not just homosexuals. Anything that may burden a person's exercise of religion can be refused. So the Muslim example I mentioned should be covered. If a pharmacist objects to filling a birth control prescription then they can't be forced to do so. I would a assume that a Jew could not be forced to work on the Sabbath or a Christian on Christmas. And it's not just private individuals. Nothing in this act says that a government employee or a law enforcement official or a teacher can be forced to do anything that might burden their ability to freely practice their religion.
Thanks DoodleDawg. I was going by the excerpt. Should have known better.
