arlier today, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the constitutional order, limited the reach of expansive nondiscrimination laws, and protected a Christian couple from having to choose between their business and their conscience.
The facts of the case are simple. The plaintiffs, Carl and Angel Larsen, are videographers who create “commercials, short films, and live-event productions.” While they work with anyone of any race, sex, sexual orientation, or religion, they will not produce videos that advance viewpoints that violate their Christian beliefs. That includes videos that “contradict biblical truth; promote sexual immorality; support the destruction of unborn children; promote racism or racial division; incite violence; degrade women; or promote any conception of marriage other than as a lifelong institution between one man and one woman.”

Until the pernicious, unconstitutional “Civil Rights Act” is repealed regarding state and individual rights of association, we are still under dire peril.
That an the illegal funding of non profits, because when Planned PArenthood says God wants abortion, I am sorry, but they are a state sponsored religion violating free speech at this point.
Same with the ACLU or student loan subsidy. What a joke. Since when something for the Bill of Right and free education had to extort the moneys for the speech and education of others to fund their so called activities to protect free speech like anointed churches of that.
THis ruling should have stated that it is fine for a religion to admonish the state to not sin , to make it humble, as opposed to being there to target people and admonish them for the benefit of the state.
That is true religious freedom, when the state is definitely off limits but people’s views can be imposed on the state.
So any director, cinematographer, or editor can no longer deckine a job.
Correct. The LBJ administration may have been the most enduringly destructive of all.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is redistribution of privileges disguised as rights, to undermine and supplant the actual Bill of Rights.
The Immigration Reform Act of 1965 is redistribution of population disguised as freedom, to eliminate the European culture that produced the Declaration and Constitution.
Both are progressive (read: communist) in design and effect.
Come on guys. You are National Review. You were taught how to right by the Buckleys.
This wasn't another random district court judge mouthing off. Instead show pride and express the importance of the ruling and write:
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Strikes a Powerful Blow for Free Speech and Religious Freedom.
Then we know what you are talking about.
Sheesh.
right = write [hangs head in shame]
David French is an insufferable Never Trump shill. Nice to see him writing an article that stays away from such nonsense.
[[and protected a Christian couple from having to choose between their business and their conscience.]]
Another Christian business owner who thought his hellish ordeal was over- who won his case- is now having to relive the hell through the case being appealed-
“Free Speech or Forced Speech? Christian T-Shirt Printer’s LGBT Case Heads to KY Supreme Court”
[[right = write [hangs head in shame]]]
No worries- you weren’t trained by buckleys
8th Circuit: 8 R nominees, 1 D nominee.
Winning in the courts and I am not tired of it at all!

Then off to the more leftist federal courts, where the left always goes when they don’t get their way.
And yet, it was the democrats who tried to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
But, that’s just consistent with the democrats’ long and storied history of persecuting black people.
100% correct.
Equal Protection Under the Law was destroyed in 1964.
Thank God this case went to a real judge and not an activist Obama-judge! Religious freedom is close to an absolute.
Correct.
Doesn't leave a lot.
