Indiana To Fold On Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Prediction: The left will not accept their unconditional surrender. (Update via HR braucht ein Bier in the comments: Prediction vindicated.)
So does this absolutely preclude a RFRA defense for a religious florist who is sued by an individual or fined by the government for declining to work a same-sex wedding? "Yes," says University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock in an email to THE WEEKLY STANDARD. "There is still the state constitution, but the Indiana Supreme Court’s interpretation of the state constitution’s religious liberty provisions is cryptic, and most courts are unlikely to find broader exemptions in the general language of the constitution when they are excluded from the much more specific language of a state RFRA." "The churches and their affiliates can still make an argument," Laycock added.Now here's the thing. Sexual orientation isn't state law in Indiana (yet) but some localities have included it in their local anti-discrimination laws. So this law allows specifically religious institutions to defend themselves on freedom of religion grounds but not a religious individual running a non-religious business. Of course this whole thing ends with Indiana adding sexual orientation to their non-discrimination laws because that's all the left wants. You will be made to obey. In fact according to the linked piece, legislators are already talking about doing just this. They are just waiting for things to calm down. But hey Republicans are just throwing so-cons overboard because doing so will make them popular with other voters, right? Er, about that.
Marist refers to “penalties and fines” in its question, and finds 65 percent support for letting businesses withhold wedding services from same-sex couples. Mike Warren at the Standard points out that in February an AP poll found a 57 percent majority for the same position.Fiscal-cons and social-cons used to be in an uneasy alliance within the GOP. I think we are growing into a more comfortable alliance in telling Republicans to fuck off.
I loathe -- utterly loathe -- the Republican Party. They are worse than worthless.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) April 2, 2015So say we all. In happier news, the people at Memories Pizza will be compensated for their troubles. $130,000 and counting via a Go Fund Me page set up by Dana Loesch and The Blaze. Not sure how much a pizza place in a small town like that makes in a year but I'm guessing that's a fairly substantial chunk of it. The left defaced their Yelp page (how much business did they get from Yelp? Like, none, right?), conservatives make them financially whole. Well played liberals! Well, played. Added: The "business community" in Indiana pushed for and vetted this "fix". Beltway Republican mouthpiece Jennifer Rubin who is always yammering on about how the GOP has to "stand with Israel" urges Republicans to crap on a group that is among the strongest supporters of Israel. if you are going to have a viable coalition you sometimes have to bite the bullet and support another coalition member's priority. Right now the GOP seems to have a bunch of takers who insist that their views be supported to the end no matter the costs or disagreements while never getting off their asses to back the people they demand loyalty from. Not sure how that is a viable long term plan.

It might not be the complete truth, but how much of this crap could have been avoided by simply being diplomatic?

My state's freshly minted non-discrimination laws specifically mention protections for both religion AND sexual orientation, and from what I can tell it does not mean we've rolled over and surrendered to the SJW scolds. It depends how Indiana rewords it, but in theory rewriting the law does not have to equal total and utter surrender.
In theory, or course...if they are spineless in reality it probably will though.

Question, what happens when 50% of the electorate is independent? Will we finally ask around and realize we are NOT being represented???

>>They're already starting to head in that direction.
*Ahem* All of this was predicted over a decade ago - it's all part of the same movement:
"Among the likeliest effects of gay marriage is to take us down a
slippery slope to legalized polygamy and polyamory (group marriage).
Marriage will be transformed into a variety of relationship contracts,
linking two, three, or more individuals (however weakly and temporarily)
in every conceivable combination of male and female. A scare scenario?
Hardly. The bottom of this slope is visible from where we stand.
Advocacy of legalized polygamy is growing. "

52 Wouldn't it be easier for everybody if an outfit simply said, "I'm sorry, we can't help you on that date. We are booked."
It might not be the complete truth, but how much of this crap could have been avoided by simply being diplomatic? I guess it pisses me off that it has come to that; a business should be able to tell someone, "No, we won't work with you," and not have to give any reason at all, but I guess those are now the olden days.
Posted by: chiefjaybob at April 02, 2015 12:26 PM (t2lvB)
Since the purpose a lot of times isn't to actually hold the event but to force the business to admit they do not want to participate so they can be sued or forced to close, telling them you are booked that date would probably result in them asking what day you aren't so they can use that.

Now here is the problem with having Sticks. It takes 20 years for the new and hip social justices to move all the way to the Sticks. So, 20 years ago, SJW's started this legal movement, obviously to take care of the Muzz and some other protectable classes, against majority western cul-cher. And by the time the legal movement got to Hicksville, things had changed and they want it all to go away. This is why they hate us so. As this thing works itself out, it's going to be a clear victory for those who wanted to leave things to hell alone. Lot of collateral damage along the way, though. Not just pizza.
So MuMu would send all the Xtians to Work Camp? Dude, I've been to Indiana. It is a Work Camp. Everybody there works. Damnedest thing you ever saw. You'd think it was part of their religion, or something.

No, no, and no. It can be very detrimental to liberty, but corporations do not (in and of themselves)have the power to force you to buy their products at their prices when they want them paid at gunpoint.
Corporations cannot force you (in and of themselves), at gun-point, to not buy from a competitor.
Corporations cannot (in and of themselves) force competitors to adopt certain standards and business practices at gun point
The government can do all that.

While I agree that creating a false tempest in teapot, then exploiting the outrage to make profit is a classic underpants gnome = profit! gambit. And no doubt it is happening somewhere on GoFundMe as we speak. But I don't think that's the case here, hope I'm right. Hopefully Dana and Blaze did a good job verifying beforehand.

Nah. There's a limit. For family, I think -- without googling -- it's about $600k lifetime. Anything over that gets taked as income.
Those go in the Income other non-taxable and Income other taxable lines on your 1040.

Patterico posted about this back when the total was only $45,000, and one of his commenters apparently stated that the total might be a year's worth of business for a small pizza place. Remember that this is money that's essentially pure profit. There's no overhead involved with it, no materials, no salaries. The government will no doubt want its share, but that's it.
If they have to close for a while until the uproar dies down, then the money can be used to help pay the lease and salaries. But materials and utilities likely will not be an expense during that period.

Of course. The GOP's craven surrender monkeys never learn that showing your back to the predator is fatal. The attackers take your accommodation as weakness and push for more (see Two State Solution, Intifada).
Resist with extreme force the first unjust demand - even if it's more convenient to pay up than fight (See Barbary Pirates). If you subsidize something, you get more of it, doubly so when you're subsidizing extortion.

Hate to break it to you but just because they don't say they're unhappy (to you) doesn't mean they aren't.
Assuming everythings going along like unicorn land is a prescription for a very abrupt and shocking denouement when you come home to an empty house and a note that says she's unhappy and been unhappy for a while and she's taken the kids the dog and the new car to her mother's house in Florida. (or worse you come home and the locks have all been changed and a pair of deputies are there to watch while you pick up your shit off the front lawn)
Absence of complaint is no proof of absence of complaint with some women (most I've heard of anyway)
So keep thinking those good thoughts but have a plan in case you're wrong.

Actually, showing one's back to a predator is a valid tactic...if one has a stout backbone (and preferably some protuding bits of bone or sharp quills). It's showing one's belly and throat that is inevitably fatal.
Then again, El PRL has no backbone (insofaras it pertains to opposing their betters in the majority half of the bipartisan Party-In-Government, at least), so that's out the window, even if they were showing their back and not their throat and soft underbelly.

But on top of that, I've come to realize that whatever my needs are for hiring or outsourcing technology jobs, I'm going with liberals. If they don't have an "Obama/Biden" bumper sticker on their Prius, they can go pound sand.
I like to see what the other side is doing, so I visit Huffington Post, Gawker and Mediaite every morning. Their websites run flawlessly with ads and video links, quick refresh and no problems.
Daily Caller, Breitbart and National Review all seem to have systemic problems, all choke on loading ads and every one of them tries to shunt you into some loop when you're trying to back out of the site.
While the right's tech guys are rubbing two sticks together trying to make fire, the liberals are launching plasma rockets to Mars.
From now on, my money is going in the pockets of hard core leftist computer geniuses. They know how to make these things run, and I just don't have the time to fuck around with Pixyesque amateurs.

Which is fine. In fact, most shop owners agree with you.
However, some particularly religious shop owners do not.
I mean, think about this. If you are a deeply religious Christian, you view homosexual acts as sinful. Not any more sinful than other sinful acts, but sinful nonetheless. As the same time, you see a marriage (and therefore the wedding ceremony) as something Holy. It is one of the points where Man is closest to God (the Family is one of the best analogues for the Trinity).
So for a wedding to be specifically celebrating homosexual marriage isn't just "distasteful," it is positively heretical. It is making a mockery of what you view as a sacred ceremony.
In such a case, why should anyone be *forced* to provide their labor -at any cost- to such an event?
Now, you may not put so much weight on the wedding ceremony- but many *do.* And protecting their property rights is what RFRA is about.

If their website works, they're liberals.
If the website freezes your computer, gives you a virus and makes your dick drip, it's probably a conservative site.

I've had a GoFundMe fundraiser for almost a year, started by me, because I have no husband or kids or many people in my life to start one for me. And my issues were, severe dental decay due to side effects of Sjogren's Syndrome, Parotid cancer and radiation therapy.
-----
But today, when I saw that "Memories Pizza" in Indiana was raking in $40,000+ after just six hours, I was horrified, and so, so angry!! So, an outright bigot, an outright discriminator can get heaps of cash thrown at them, and yet there are 100's if not 1000's of people on Go Fund Me desperate for help, and this is what gets the attention?

Yes, a country that not only executes gays, but has recently chanted "Death to America!" and said that destruction of Israel (genocide of the Jews) is "non-negotiable." Now *that's* discrimination.
It's unreal the country is upset over a pizzeria when this is happening.

2. Freedom of conscience should *not* be restricted to "people of faith," either. You should not be allowed to hold the threat of mob justice over my head to force me to enter a contract with you, and I don't have to believe in a Deity to be protected from such.
2a. Disregarding for a moment the arguments fer or agin it, there's a reason that the "public accommodation" hair had to be split in preserving the rights of business owners: If my shop is open and seats are available, you're a customer. Absent variables, it's no more an imposition on me to serve you than anyone else who walked in off the street. If I enter a contract with you (catering/representation/performance), you are a client. If I am not free to refuse to enter that contract --- For. Any. Reason. -- then I am indentured to you.

That's nice and all, but as Dalrymple pointed out: " a handful of fanatics can easily have a much more significant social
effect than a large number of peaceful citizens." That 65% and that 57% won't actually do a damn thing to stop those intent on cramming down the Mandatory Celebration of Diversity, so they're effectively a nullity.
