We are all equal again, right?

Making a wedding website isn't political...she was claiming a religious exemption.  So what is stopping someone from claiming their sincerely held religious beliefs means they can't serve interracial or interfaith couples?  How about the restaurant owner who claims that in his sincerely held religious beliefs blacks and whites can't sit down to eat together so they have to have separate dining rooms?

This is a country of civil laws.  We are not supposed to have a state-sponsored religion.  But, this SCOTUS seems to be going out of the way to put people's Christian religious beliefs over and above our civil laws.  

So yeah, color me doubtful, that this decision is where they stop.  They are bound and determined to take this country back to the days when the only people who were truly equal were white, straight, males.

And people wonder why minorities and women and up in arms.  We see where this is going

They didn't limit it to Christians.  That's who happened to bring the suit.  A Jewish bakery can say they aren't comfortable making a Christian themed cake.  A website designer can decide not to make a pro-life website.  It applies to everyone.
