freedom of religion
now, arizona is in the process of potentially passing a law legalizing discrimination in the name of religious freedom.
idaho had similar legislation, as did kansas (who thankfully backtracked and removed the bill from consideration, for now). http://news.msn.com/us/pressure-moun...pposed-by-gays now, i think that the freedom of religion in our constititution means that we can worship (or not) in whatever religious house we so choose, and that we are free from the govt deciding to have a state religion, or in supporting one religion over others, thus avoiding all the troubles that would come from that occurring. however, i don't believe that the freedom of religion can actually be construed as granting rights that people are trying to glean from the first amendment. the above arizona bill is one example of an overreach, in my opinion. how does someone's freedom of religion become a business issue, a service issue? how does having freedom to worship allow someone to deny a service? how far could this go? also, not long ago a couple was charged due to a child of theirs dying. they'd prayed he would heal, but didn't take him for medical treatment-again, using freedom of religion as an excuse to neglect a child. that's bad enough, but it becomes even worse when you find this is their SECOND child to die for lack of care. we have got to stop giving carte blanche to people in the name of religion.

Agreed Brewer will probably veto, but how did that get passed in the first place?

Love this quote:
