Gillibrand thinks a business does not have the same rights, because it is not a person.

OK then if she is correct on that front, then how should those who own a business file their taxes? Oh that's right, small business owners file taxes as individuals!

Wait, aren't individuals PERSONS??

Can't have it both ways.

If I watch the little white square, will it open up into a picture on July 18?

When I go into the “open market” to sell my labor to the highest bidder, I’m doing essentially what every business is doing, according to Schumer. Do I thus forfeit my rights?

The courts have held, again and again, that a corporation functions under the law as a person. Schumer is wrong as a matter of established law.
The goal of this bit of kubuki theater is not to pass legislation. It is to insure the anticapitalist base of the DP that they are still loved.

Don’t be surprised if Schumer - and American courts - answer ‘yes’ in the very near future. Who’s going to stop them?

So by this logic a Kosher restaurant can be forced to serve pork chops because,after all,it was set up to make a profit in the open market.

“But we don’t say that they have to open a company and go sell toys or hobby kits.”

Chucky conveniently leaves out the fact that Hobby Lobby has been in business for years and only since Obamacare did government try to specify every detail of what sort of health insurance employers had to provide.

This asshat is a Jew....

Ten bucks says that he's an atheist Jew,a Jew who sees the word as being an ethnic,rather than a religious,identifier.Check it out....many,many,*many* of the people in this country who identify themselves as a "Jew" or "Jewish" will freely tell you that they're atheist if you ask them.

No. No. No. You don’t understand. The Democrats don’t mind if you have religion. You just can’t practice it in any meaningful way outside of your church or your private residence. If you open a business, for example, that’s the public sphere, and the constitution clearly states Congress can make laws regulating and/or prohibiting religion in public. It’s right there in the US Constitution. Look it up!

ESA (EXTREME Sarcasm Alert!)

What part of “Congress shall make no law” do you not understand, Chuckie?

. . . because their “purpose is to profit from the open market.”

The concept of "open market", by its nature, involves a "willing buyer" and a "willing seller". There are multitudes of reasons a normally "willing seller" chooses to become "unwilling". A bunch of commies have no standing to define the term "open market". That is one of the fundamental reasons our economy is, and has been, in the crapper for so long . . . their economic theory is destructive garbage.

“Isn’t Congress infringing on the owners’ property rights?”

Don’t try appealing to reason. With Democrats, up is down and down is up. I seriously mean it. They seem to speak the same language as real Americans, but the words have entirely different meanings. For example, freedom means government gets to control everything you do if you dare open a business.

Schmuckie is well-known as a member of New York City’s largest Reform Synagogue, and regularly attends.

I have never heard of him claiming to be atheist or even agnostic.

He certainly seems to represent the views of his voters. There’s no deception there.
