What's going to happen the first time some ultra-religous conservative businessman denies service to an inter-racial couple, or a single parent, or a person who was born our of wedlock or some other situation in which he claims that accommodating a customer would 'violate' his religious beliefs? Where will it end? How has the Supreme Court NOT opened Pandora's Box?

Remember awhile back when some religious parents were arguing against the anti-bullying laws being proposed for our schools on the grounds that this would interfere with them teaching their children how people with their beliefs are supposed to interact with other people, which in this case was their kids beating-up 'fags' and 'queers'. I wonder how many of these parents will now site the Hobby Lobby case as rational for teaching their kids to hate people who don't meet their religious standards?

Obama's Executive Order

ASHINGTON — After a setback in the Supreme Court in the Hobby Lobby case, President Obama is facing mounting pressure from religious groups demanding to be excluded from his long-promised executive order that would bar discrimination against gay men and lesbians by companies that do government work.

The president has yet to sign the executive order, but last week a group of major faith organizations, including some of Mr. Obama’s allies, said he should consider adding an exemption for groups whose religious beliefs oppose homosexuality. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, the court ruled that family-run corporations with religious objections could be exempted from providing employees with insurance coverage for contraception.
