“The answer is above my paygrade” will always be valid to the MSM. After all, Obama used it to sidestep politically dangerous questions.
If Rand can't see this, can't articulate this, and is no better than the other GOP candidates whose God is money, God help us.
If the state can now compel someone to act against their conscience, 500 years of Western Civilization is on the edge.
DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!™
I heard from wise Evangelical Fundamental Christian Conservative Bible Business People....say...that the MONEY, and profit they receive from Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientologists and New Age clowns looks REAL good at the end of the day deposited in the bank. I think they need to let the BUSINESS LAW of supply and demand go to work and keep the governors desk free of such nonsense.
There is no real controversy about Indiana’s religous freedom law imo. Sadly, low-information Christians in this case and related cases evidently don’t know the Constitution well enough to protect themselves from their states regardless if states like Indiana had never made such a law.
As mentioned in related threads, the key constitutional statute is Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Note that the “privileges or immunities” term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, used in that section is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights, including 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression, listed in the Bill of Rights.
And Christians must keep in mind that the low-information state government “leaders” of their respective states are probably just as clueless as to what the Constitution indicates about such issues as the government “leaders” in Indiana evidently are.
Well it’s not like it was about anything important, like...............drugs.
Rand Paul strikes me as someone whose ambition outweighs his principles.
Unfortunately, this guy's father is a mega-kook...and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Hey Rand Paul, we thought you was a toooaaad.....
Rand is a light in the loafer’s coward.
It’s no surprise, with his homosexual constituency and all.

I’m not a Paul supporter, but let’s at least expose Business Insider as the liberal rag that it is.
ANYONE, including you, me, the gardener, a raving Marxist lunatic and your dog can write for the execrable Business Insider.
I really wish that the Marxists at Business Insider would be given the same heave-ho at FR as Stormfront.

Rand Paul is a joke, just like his no-account father. He’s just younger and seems more alert, but this reach-across-the-aisle BS has been done, dude, and it produces nothing but Republican losers because the conservative base support is what gets you the door-knockers and phone-callers. Are these pols just g-d stoopit or what??
