Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law

[quote]Governor Phil Bryant signed the controversial Senate Bill 2681 into law Thursday as LGBT supporters gathered in Jackson to protest the bill. Mississippi lawmakers passed the final version of the bill Tuesday that says state and local governments cannot put a substantial burden on religious practices.
"I am proud to sign the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act today, which will protect the individual religious freedoms of Mississippians of all faiths from government interference," said Bryant. "Mississippi has now joined 18 other states to defend religious freedoms on a state level."
[b][u]Members and supporters of the LGBT community are concerned the bill will open the door to discrimination against gay people and other groups. Opponents of the bill say the discrimination could also be directed towards ethnic minorities and other religious groups.[/b][/u]
Supporters claim the bill mirrors the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993.[/quote]

To all of you that can't stand the thought of business owners being denied based on what the -blam!- ever. Let me ask you something: What would you do to make them serve you? At that point, if you're being denied based on how you're defined, the right thing to do would be to go and find business elsewhere, but staying and demanding service is just being spiteful. You could call the cops on them, have them force him/her to serve you, but would that really accomplish anything? They could just make up excuses like calling in sick, or taking a personal day just to avoid having to deal with you at all. Point is, if a business owner does not want to do service, you can not force him. Not only is it spiteful and immoral, it's also [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause]Unconstitutional[/url].
