Typical RAT. Lose the game and keep changing the long time rules until you win.

Using the NY Times standard....we should be throwing the Constitution out about every sixteen months, and writing a new fresh one.

“David French notes that one of Justice Kennedy’s reasons for finding Colorado was motivated by anti-religious animus in its ruling against the baker is that Colorado has protected the right of bakers to refuse to create cakes with explicitly anti-gay messages. This portion of the majority opinion will make it difficult in some wedding vendor cases for states to navigate their way around today’s decision.”

I am of the opinion that the Constitution, esp the 1st Amendment’s assembly clause is quite clear. Private (not corporate) individuals have the right to assemble -or not assemble- peacefully. One of the reasons private individuals assemble is for the conducting of commerce.

As such, the clause clearly establishes the right of the individual to either participate or not at their sole discretion. There is no “public accommodation” clause in the Constitution.

As I said yesterday to the disapproval on some on here - I believe people have the right to live the way they want to and that includes gay people. I am a pro-freedom and pro-diversity. This is what I believe as a conservative and it makes America great.

In the New York Times op-ed, the other side illustrated how they’re for coercion and conformity. If you don’t live and think the way they want, there is no room for you in their America. The American people are tolerant and genrous to all in their midst. Between us and the Left we should have that debate.

And the Constitution wasn’t written to protect folks we like or opinions of which we approve. Political correctness has no place in it. The Mastercake case brought that point home. Every American has a right to equal protecion of the laws, including Christian bakers. Period.

How did Colorado even have a case against the baker when the State itself didn’t even recognize same sex marriage at the time.

The ERA was rejected. Totally failed. Never seen for 35 years.

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Equality...shall not be abridged...

Is that the same “shall not be abridged” used in the 2nd Amendment?

I believe it’s the New York Times that is running an effort to expose fake news. Word on the street is they hired famed French investigator Jacques Clouseau. There he will trip over it 1000 times before he identifies it, if he ever does.

Lets amend the Constitution so that fake “ rights” like abortion, homosexual marriage, and “diversity discrimination” are eliminated

And strengthen REAL rights like the Second Amendment and First Amendment Religious Rights, the Tenth Amendment and NO PERSON, not just the PC crowd, of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments

Oh yeah, and about that lifetime tenure for judges and birthright citizenship ......get rid of that

I'm pretty sure the only way she'd be happy is a new amendment that says

All previous individual rights and government limitations are repealed. After June 5, 2018, all rights and limitations will be dictated by Jennifer Finney Boylan and are subject to change as often as Jennifer Finney Boylan feels necessary.

Even then she'd be unhappy much of the time as people and courts "misinterpret" the freedoms she thought were meant for one limited group but were used by another group in court. She'd need to manage a pretty big team to constantly reword her "rights" to exempt evil Trump supporters from the freedoms she intended for favored groups.

I'm pretty sure she'd be happier in Cuba, China, or Russia to name a few countries with the type of government she wants. It would be best if she was making the laws there but at least there'd be a chance of a benevolent dictator taking over and creating the type of utopia she wants. And there's no chance of that in the US.
