The Bat is correct. Has nothing to do with opinions. She either does the job she's getting paid $80K a year for, she quits, or she sits and stews while making her "stand".

Read again, I swear its says usually until she complies however first time in history blah blabity blah. Lets talk about the real crime here, which is her going to work making 80k a year dressed like a sister wife leaving the Branch Dividian compund.

From a gay friend's Facebook page. He's a hairdresser. :rofl:

****ing fire the dumb bitch.

I mean we do allow the Amish to take their kids out of school after 8th grade though. I agree with you and think the SCOTUS decision I just referenced was wrong, but it's not as clear cut as you're making it seem.

Fiddler is on the money when he says/strongly implies that the goal of the judge's actions should be compliance. At that point, sending her to jail and making a martyr out of her isn't really the best call IMO - just hire a replacement and maybe, like, dock her pay to pay the new person.

Of course there are going to be inconsistencies with how freedom of religion is interpreted, especially state to state, but you still don't have the right to practice religious... practices when they conflict with the law.

Yeah, I agree with you! Was just kind of adding to the point you were making.

My point is that you kind of do in some cases - not this one though, you're right. I'm not really arguing with you.

Well it goes back to what I was saying. Your rights end where mine begin. For instance, I can stand there and punch a brick wall all day long if I feel like it. I'm only causing harm to my hand, and nobody will probably give a flip. But the second my fist connects with someone's face, there's a problem. Because I exceeded my rights.

RoxyRollah 09-03-2015 07:23 PM

Zip it,square.

I imagine you might be committed to a psych ward against your will if you did that.
