If babby jeebus Tells You to Do It, It's Not a Crime

How long before some freakazoid blows up a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing a dozen people, and skates because "religious freedom?"

How long before the freakazoids demand religious instruction in every public school in the country?  How long before they demand laws banning homosexuality and birth control as well as abortion? And requiring women to get their husband's permission to work outside the home?  And denying jobs, housing and education to single women?

There is literally no limit to the demands freakazoids - fundamentalist protestant christian freakaoids lighter than a paper bag only, of course - can make under this ruling.

How about rounding up every non-white non-freakazoid and interning them at Guantanamo, because of the threat they pose to the religious liberty of fundie freakazoids?

I am not fucking kidding.  This is olly-olly-oxen-free for every freakazoid asshole in the country.

The new American Theocracy is going to make the Taliban look like amateurs.
The Supreme Court is setting aside a Colorado court ruling against a baker who wouldn’t make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. But the court is not deciding the big issue in the case, whether a business can refuse to serve gay and lesbian people.

The justices’ limited ruling Monday turns on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. The justices voted 7-2 that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission violated Phillips’ rights under the First Amendment.

Justice Anthony Kennedy says in his majority opinion that the issue “must await further elaboration.” Appeals in similar cases are pending, including one at the Supreme Court from a florist who didn’t want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.
