from the other site...

"what keeps any corporation, business or small business now from claiming "religious" reasons to deny any person anything because it violates their 1st amendment rights?

nothing.

be prepared for the right wing stooges to line up now, knowing full well that this has nothing to do with religion, to claim religious grounds for denying their employees anything they want.

fascism with a smiley face.

we, the middle, lower and poor classes are fucked, as usual.
this is absolutely disgraceful.

I guess the 5 supreme halfwits have sided with lost mittens romney, "corporations are people, my friend".
