    “Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident.

    Yet the GOP wants ‘conscience clauses’ for pharmacists to be able to refuse to fill prescriptions for drugs they don’t approve of, for medical personnel to be able to refuse health care to people they don’t approve of, and of course for bakeries to be able to refuse their services to people they don’t approve of.

        While it’s hypocrisy in practice, it’s not hypocrisy in belief. Conservatives believe that there are people who the law protects but does not bind, and those the law binds but does not protect. When you realize that the regime is acting under a belief that freedoms only apply to their own kind, their behavior is consistent. Reprehensible, but consistent.

          That arguably goes without saying. They don’t know they’re being hypocritical and they don’t care. They think, say, and do what they’re told to. The few who know better are the ones dictating the narrative.

      What possible charge could the feds Levy for refusing to print flyers? I can’t think of anything, and I do not see how interstate commerce comes into this at all for Pam bondy’s dumbass to get involved in the first place.
