Refusing service because of political party.

Its my understanding that the baker won not because the SCOTUS thought the baker had a right to refuse service to the gay couple, but because they felt the baker didn't get a fair trial in the lower court. The baker deal might be what you were talking about and I could be wrong on my understanding of it, but if I'm right then I would say people are getting away with it in certain cases. Certain cases does not a new standard make IMO.

There have been a few instances. However, my point is that it is the public's opinion that this is what we're doing. It's a habit that is spreading, obviously.

I'm talking about my opinion, not the law. My opinion is if people are doing this, than anyone can do it. That doesn't mean it's my opinion that everyone should be doing it, either.
I see where you're coming from. The speed limit is 55 but everyone goes 65 therefore the speed limit posted on the sign is all but meaningless. Fair point.

But just because everyone gets away with going 10mph over the speed limit in some places doesn't mean you'll get away with it everywhere. And just because everyone got away with it on a certain road for years doesn't mean the cops can't crack down on that road next week and get everyone to slow down.

Certain things make it seem like society is going to hell in a hand basket but all is not lost IMO.
