Yet another win for the Left.
God bless them.
This is effectively a purge of Christians from government
They need to sue for religious oppression. They need to sue for breach of contract. When they took those jobs, there was no requirement to violate their faith in the execution of their jobs.

So don’t even bother trying to imagine that. Instead try to imagine it’s early 1933. The National Socialist German Workers Party is the largest party in parliament and thus President von Hindenburg has appointed its leader, Herr Hitler, as Chancellor - not der Führer, just Chancellor, the same position Frau Merkel holds today. And the National Socialist German Workers Party starts enacting its legislative programme, and so a few weeks later the Civil Service Restoration Law is introduced. Under this law, Jews would no longer be allowed to serve as civil servants, teachers or lawyers, the last two being professions in which Jews are very well represented.
But that wily old fox Hindenburg knows a thing or two. So as president he refuses to sign the bill into law unless certain exemptions are made - for those who’ve been in the civil service since August 1st 1914 (ie, the start of the Great War), and for those who served during the Great War, or had a father or son who died in action. And the practical effect of these amendments is that hardly any Jew in the public service has to lose his job.
And so in April 1933 it would be easy to say, if you were a middle-class German seeking nothing other than a quiet life, that, yes, these National Socialist chappies are a bit uncouth, but the checks and balances are still just about working. What’s the worst they can do?
Paul von Hindenburg died the following year, and his amendments were scrapped.
That’s Germany’s civil service in 1933. What of America’s civil service in 2015?
So observant Christians will no longer be able to serve as town or county clerk. Are comparisons really so “lunatic”? The logic of the 1933 Civil Service Restoration Act is that the German public service will be judenrein. The logic of the 2015 Supreme Court decision is that much of the American public service will be christenrein - at least for those who take their Scripture seriously. That doesn’t strike me as a small thing - even if one thought it were likely to stop there.

Rather chilling, no? ~Q
This is not good at all.
Christians are leaving so many important places of influence:
Generals and chaplains in the military, clerks and judges in the government. Soon, those at “Christian”colleges and nonprofit organizations.
They changed the rules *after* they were hired. New hires need to understand the rules. Old hires need to be given accommodations.
The left will just reply, “good, they don’t deserve to be working in those positions anyway! If you don’t want to perform marriages, then just quit the business. If you don’t want to bake cakes, then just don’t own bakeries, if you don’t want to take the photos, then just don’t own a photography business!”
“Oh, and sew this yellow star, wait make it a yellow cross, on your shirts!”
Send them all to J.Kennedy’s chambers, let him ‘marry’ them.
