He got out of the last one on a technicality, and the court refused to grant him any exemption, then, too. The man is... very simply.... a repeat offender.
On background, it's not a tricky case. It's been tried before, alot. Every reasonable permutation of why a person should be allowed to discriminate in their business has been tried since the passage of the civil rights act and failed.
It's been tried on religious ground. Denied.
It's been tried on ground of a proprietors right to choose his clients. Denied.
It's been tried on grounds of having exceeded federal authority. Denied.
Hell, Bob Jones U got shit on 8-1 as recently as '83 with their christian moral character song and dance. In each instance, the decisions have been taken to be some indication of how religion is being oppressed in america..but in each case, the decisions have revolved around the compelling interest of the state -regardless- of the religious or social convictions of the person seeking exemption. There's been about a case a year since it became the law of the land and it's still here, still the law of the land.
