WMUR’s CloseUp – Lindsey Graham on Religious Freedom (psst….)

 So, a church would be able to control its facilities – how big of Lindsey Graham on his definition of Religious Freedom.

“But nobody doing business should be allowed to discriminate against another American.  At the end of the day, you’re trying to protect religious freedom, the right to be able to follow your conscience religiously but the goal is not to discriminate against people.  If you are traveling, you want to stay someplace to eat, you know go to eat, rent a hotel, you should be able to do so regardless of your sexual preference.”

My take on this?  He’s with Obama on this – you have the Right to Freedom of Worship.  At church.  At your home.  Else, shut up.  You participate in commerce in the public square, shut up and let the Government dictate your conscience regardless of your actual beliefs (but not the Constitutional First Amendment’s Freedom of Expression which means “all the time in every place”).  His version is no protection at all – and for being a lawyer, your answer shows a total ignorance of the Indiana Law (the first one before Gov. Mike Pence and his cohort of jelly spined Republicans dissolved onto the floor like Deep Space Nine’s Otto) or a complete repudiation of it.

Which means that he’s are willing to sacrifice a whole lot of individual’s conscience for his political future.
