The ACLU, a wretched hive of scum and villainy headquartered in Mos Eisley.

We need an organization called ACLU Watch. The ACLU for far too long has perverted law by insanely generalizing and perversely misinterpreting the first amendment.

Wait!?!?

Now the ACLU is saying its OK for a company to refuse to do business on religious/political grounds?

Wedding Cake?
Flowers?
Photography?
Bed n’ Breakfast?
Wedding Chapel?

And what was the ACLU’s position on the Fairness Doctrine which directly limited free political speech? I can take a guess.

"The lawsuit filed in federal court contends the law illegally forces business owners to choose between their political beliefs and being able to sell goods and services to government agencies."

Lawyers..... Bottom feeding nimrods....

You could construe the law as anti-racist legislation given the fact that Israel is the land of the Jews. I don’t remember the ACLU bring against laws that forced Lester Maddox to sell fried chicken to everyone.

It’s a win win either way.
If the ACLU loses the status quo is maintained and the government can state who it will do business with under what conditions - including brring those who boycott Israel.

If the ACLU wins and the government cannot set restrictions on the moral nature of the businesses bidding for contracts.

Also - if the ACLU wins - this is a direct blow to the civil rights law that compels Christian bakers to bake gay wedding cakes.

Moar winning.

Taxpayer funded abortions for everybody, universal health care, decriminalized marijuana - you would think the lefties would love Israel.

I can’t believe they are arguing this. This is like the arguments that were made in support of racism but the ALCU had specifically fought against in the past.

Why are they going racist now?

Didn't those business owners already make that choice?

That was my first thought too. If they win this, people can refuse to do anything by just saying “it’s against my politics”.

Sure, open that Pandora’s box. Sell birth control pills? Against my politics.

Tell me about that “bake me a cake argument”, again.

Where are they attending to the belief’s of Christian businesses? Oh, forgot. Then also, they defended the Neo-Nazi’s and their petition to march through Skoki, IL, a heavily populated Jewish neighborhood. The ACLU are pure scum.
