Well, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that churches have a right to decide who they hire and fire, independent of the federal government. Well done. It was the right decision. Now when do the rest of us get the same right back?
The fact is that laws that mandate any sorts of restrictions on hiring or membership violate the same First Amendment. Decisions on who to hire, who to serve, and who to admit to your club should be made by the business owners or the membership. Period. The federal government has no business making those decisions for us. It's time for the Supreme Court or Congress to recognize that and extend to us a recognition of the same rights that they recognized for the Hosanna-Tabor Church.
