    DD is true here. The majority of federal circuits have ruled that RFRA allows for suits to proceed even if the government is not a party.

      This is a good article for context:

      Why a pro-same-sex-marriage law professor supports Indiana’s religious freedom law

      Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it. In text, video and audio, our reporters explain politics, policy, world affairs, technology, culture, science, the climate crisis, money, health and everything else that matters. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or status, can access accurate information that empowers them.


      There are cases about churches feeding the homeless. Sometimes neighbors object to that. There are cases about Muslim women wearing scarfs or veils, there are cases about Amish buggies, there are cases about Sabbath observants. There are hardly any cases about discrimination, and the ones there are the government has won.
      The entire thing is quite fascinating. Read it!

        That doesn't change the fact that Hitler also embarrassed people

          At least we can agree that conservative Christians in America need to stop with their obsession of LGBT people, and just treat them the way they themselves would like to be treated (with respect, and as equals).
          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

            Yes it is, but you pasted the URL twice, took a while (and several 404s) to figure that out.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              And maybe you can be a little less obsessed with their delicious chicken sandwiches.

                        This is more fun when you reply. Come on, I know you have nothing better to do.

                            I'll bite for DD. Why is this stupid; because I'm missing it.

                              This doesn't really say that much... Still wondering why people are up in arms about it.

                                I can't help you there. Mr Fun can't even explain the cause of his hysteria in a clear and cogent manner.
