There have been a number of states, such as Arizona that have bills before their legislatures or the governor to allow people to discriminate against LGBT if they claim it is against their religion.
I have two questions for all of the lawyers out there…
The First Amendment says that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
My first question is does the First Amendment apply to states also?
My next question is by exempting certain religions from having to obey the law doesn’t that go against “…make no law respecting an establishment of religion…” in that by giving preferential rights to certain religions to exempt them from laws a violation of the First Amendment.
