Did I read it wrong? I thought it already went through. Hmmm. I guess I misread it.

It's just in the house there and hasn't passed the senate even though it probably will, but the ACLU and FFRF will undoubtedly jump all over it in the courts.

Sounds like another bunch connected at the hip with the Koch brothers. If the Republicans hold sway after 2016, you can kiss democracy goodbye.

Uhmmm... how about the fact that the RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) was passed in 1993 under Clinton and introduced as a bill by Democrat Chuck Schumer? All the republicans are doing is using the loop hole that Democrats created in an effort to grant special status to every religion but christianity... to grant special status to christianity as well.  Liberals can't see that granting special status to one religion grants them to all, not to mention that religious ideology should get NO special status at all, just as intended by the constitution.

Religious "freedom" is a blind spot for liberals as they continually conflate race and religion and attempt to fight racism by supporting any  religious belief but Christianity, apparently not seeing where that leads.

Believe it or not, the ACLU strongly supported the RFRA when it was passed federally. Now that christians are attempting to use it's flawed notions I hope they they finally wake up to its ridiculousness. Religion and religious beliefs can never, ever, nevereverever be used to trump secular law. EVER!

It's the heart of separation of church and state that is under attack and liberals missed the boat by trying to be all nice and fair to "oppressed" religious minorities.
In the case of the RFRA it was mostly Native religious practices they were trying to put on a special pedestal. Liberals have done the same thing in the UK with Sharia law.

Thank you liberals.
