    This is about a public accomodation which comes under federal civil rights law. It is not the Jewish rally goers demanding the bus drivers become part of their rally and create some protest slogans and signs for them.

    The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ shod begin an investigation into each driver who refused service and the company if evidence shows they offered them support.

    just like Christian pharmacists that deny giving customers their medications they already ordered and came to pick up

    Exactly. This is public livery, exactly what was cover under Plessy vs Ferguson.

    Cake guy never refused to conduct business with someone due to sexual orientation, rather, they refused to craft messages they disagreed with, no matter the sexuality of the person requesting the message.

    Nothing like that is occurring here, this is public livery. In Plessy vs Ferguson, Homer Plessy, a black man, refused to sit in the "black car".

    This is not tolerated in America, and hasn't been tolerated for over a half century.

    I'm amazed at what some folks are trying to return to, even while they claim to be "progressives'.

    OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM BEARS UNSURPRISING FRUIT: Why Western Women Are Converting to Islam: Since October 7, young Americans have been professing their devotion to the Quran in ‘the ultimate rebellion against the West.’

    'You’d think the torture and rape and murder would be unappealing to women, but you need to remember that serial killers get lots of love letters and marriage proposals.'

    And as we learned during COVID, the US Educational System is controlled by raving lunatics that are united in their passionate hatred for America and Americans.

    And the dumbass Republicans in Congress just keep right on funding the hate propagation centers.

    They don't need free bus rides. They are from out of state. They need compensation for the wasted money traveling to Detroit.

    I always have cared about and I didn't asked if they should be fired I asked if they should be charged with violating the law under the Civil Rights Act as they refused to provide a public accommodation to the Jewish people. Should the Jewish people be able to prevail in a civil lawsuit?

    Then pass a law that says Muslims must serve pork if they are asked to cater an affair and pork is requested. Pass a law that says a black song writer must compose a white power song if a white group demands they do so for their rally.

    What don't you get about federal civil rights law applies to these bus drivers but not to every Christian you have such a desire to try and force them to violate their moral convictions by forcing them to participate in a ceremony or occasion that would violate it else not engage in their creative endeavors?

    if they sell pork to some people, they have to sell it to everyone - see how that works

    now your acting like giving a bus ride, or filling a prescription they have on stock is like forcing someone to sell something they don't even sell

    we should not defend nonsense like this

    If they cater to some then they must cater to others and create and produce whatever is asked of then - yes I see how you want it to work.

    Do you not understand federal civil rights law and why it applies here and not the baker?

    no, you can't go into a place that sells burgers and say you want to buy a car... cause they don't sell cars

    if the baker sells a product, sell it to everyone equally, don't discriminate, same with the bus drivers
