So could she have refused to serve a black person or an Asian person based on her personal religious views that she doesn't like black or Asian people?
Like we're not going to see interracial marriage struck down after they do away with the filthy, eeevil gaysex.
Mark my words, it will be under the guise of "national security" and it will start with a big spiel from the administration how "terrorists" are getting into the country by marrying "US citizens" (even though imgiration hasn't worked that way in like, a century) and they will swear it's not about race... while using race to identify these scary terrorists who want to eat your children and rape your pets.
I'd love to see Clarence Thomas go home to his ugly bulldog white wife, and explain that he voted to abolish their marriage, and now that it's an official abomination, she must move out of the house immediately.
That's the beauty of using masking terms like "terrorists" like Israel is doing to justify their genocide.
You can make "terrorism" the most extreme crime that anyone can commit, a crime that immediately disqualifies you from due process or human rights, then just utterly fail to define what "terrorism" means, so you can slap it on any youtuber who criticizes the government or entire neighborhoods of hispanic or black people so you can start segregating and arresting and creating labor camps... another sneaky way to continue slavery.
Poorly defined, unscientific or non-factual policy is designed to enforce "rules for thee, not for me" and is one of the foundational cornerstones of fascism and oligarchy.
That's exactly what they are doing. Now they are starting to justify military intervention against cartels in Mexico because they've designated them as Terrorists, when there is nothing terroristic about them. They are just Criminal Oligarchs, no different than our president and his friends.
There are several "magic words" that power-mad tyrants love to use to justify every horrible thing they do. "Terrorist." "Criminal." "Pedophile." "Anti-semite" (a relatively new one) and sometimes "rapist."
We've seen them use these buzzwords everywhere over and over, because they work in stoking the fear and disgust and horror in an ill-informed public.
There's no better feeling for a dictator than having millions of people supporting him as he levels an entire country because he told the citizens that it was a place full of child rapists and nazis. See: every major conflict this century.
We won't, but for specific, self-serving reasons.
In his opinion for Dobbs, Thomas listed several cases he wants to revisit, including Obergefell. Notably absent was Loving, which is the case that set interracial marriage in stone. Thing is, if you follow his reasoning, Loving should fall to the exact same logic. The fact that he left it out is telling.
I don't believe for a moment that everything isn't on the table for repeal, destruction or revocation. It just takes a phone call and a new boat and Thomas will not just revisit Loving, he and his cohorts will use it like toilet paper overnight. They just can't move too fast, they have to give the population time to adapt to changes or wait until everyone is too distracted by some manufactured crisis. Literally, our only hope is they misjudge or move too fast and create an actual armed movement marching on Washington. (Like, they would need some kind of huge army deployed to DC to protect the president and cabinet and courts in that case... can you imagine that?)
And it doesn't matter if Thomas is in an interracial marriage, the ruling class has proven time and time again they are immune to consequence and law.
I think they'll try everything to push for a supermajority next cycle to just write a new "more christian" constitution, á la Fidesz, even if that requires them to break laws.
We've already seen them make soft attempts at it by "accidentally" removing chunks of the constitution from the .gov websites, and this is how they started exploring the feasibility of most of their current overreaches, with probing attacks, with "soft" insurrections, with suggestions of doing the things they're actively doing now, just to gauge how far along we are and what kind of pushback they would actually get. (Hint: it's not enough. Sit the fuck down Booker, Schumer, Jeffries... you're useless fucks that need to be hauled out like the garbage you are.)
In her mind, she does.
