Published

I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Tell me where in the Bible Jesus says not to do business with gay people. 

Sorry separation of church and state remember.  Funny how liberals won’t dare try this with Muslims.

I am saying that the petitioner ,Lori Smith, is claiming that she is being forced to do business with gay people and that violates her Christian faith. If that is a violation of her faith, isn't there some New Testament scripture to back that up?

It’s a private decision between her and her pastor

Thanks, but before my reply to you I actually listened to the audio of all that.  That's how I arrived at my opinion.

Which is, youre making much ado about nothing.

Nothing like the Constitution standing in the way of the lefts quest for Federal power.  Amazing how mad libs are when they can’t rule by judicial fiat anymore.

What does this mean to you? Without any contextual reference it looks like projection.

Aside from Mr. Rivera, whe was neither an elected official or appointed official, which Republican officials, either elected or appointed, were identified as unregistered foreign agents?

How exactly did you come to this conclusion?  That there was contact between Mr.Rivera and Mr. Rubio, a longtime friend? 

When I mentioned elected officials I was definitely out of line.  Thanks for the correction.  Michael Flynn is the most obvious  appointed official with unclaimed foreign priorities. 

Yes. There was contact.

Apparently it's not so private and now the SCOTUS will decide.

I don't agree.  Alito's remarks represent considerably more than nothing.  Particularly in context with the spectrum of information about The Court's loose ethical requirements.

Nope - gotta call BS on this one.  You don’t get to argue religious freedom as justification  for violating mine.

IOW, what you really mean is freedom of religion for me but not for thee. Dobbs v. Jackson is theocracy in action.

She isn't saying she is "being forced to do business with gay people," she's saying that if she were forced to work on a same sex wedding web project, doing so would violate her religious beliefs.

This is where the fist meets the nose. I agree that no one is obligated to do business with me. I can either find someone else, do it for myself, or do without. Whether that’s a good business decision for her is her problem.

She could have just said her schedule was too full to take on new clients now.

But gosh, a good SCOTUS story will get everyone all stirred up again. Wheeee?
