    “Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident.

    Yet the GOP wants ‘conscience clauses’ for pharmacists to be able to refuse to fill prescriptions for drugs they don’t approve of, for medical personnel to be able to refuse health care to people they don’t approve of, and of course for bakeries to be able to refuse their services to people they don’t approve of.

    This will be shot down a million times in court. The defendent will get the BEST pro-bono lawyers from the ACLU, and we will have paid for this with tax dollars.

    Pam Blondie really failed law school. This is fucking disgusting.

      Before getting to SCOTUS who will likely carve out an exception to their wedding cake precedent to serve their fascist masters.

        I don’t think that’s correct.

        “Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident. “If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.”

          Exactly the opposite of what these fascist hypocrites said when a bigot refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.

          This Sartre quote applies here:

          Never believe that anti-Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

          That’s not discrimination. White supremacists and fascists are not a protected ciass. The government is obligated to allow them speech on public property, however Office Depot is not the government or public property. Businesses are not obligated to serve or do business with them or tolerate their speech.
