I'm genuinely surprised that he vetoed that bill. Good for him.

I can't believe that this is an issue. This is the same crap that coloured people had to deal with in the 60s. Thankfully, he prevented the need for another generation of sit-in protests and bus boycotts in this southern state.

Also, 'religious liberty' lol.

GOOD FOR OUR STATE.    I think the threats of the NFL and other entertainment pulling out of Atlanta played a part.   ATL is the state of Ga without it we would be Mississippi.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons does not make him a FF.

The irony of this statement even tickles me and I'm a conservative.

Wow, looks like Deal has slightly more sense than McCrory.

Do you not realize it really was religious freedom protections(backed by the grassroots) vs big business (who want special rights for the lgbt).

The people also want Garland to get a vote and a hearing in the Senate...

What happened to your belief in the 1960 senate rule?

Eisenhower never actually nominated a justice in 1960. He did nominate Potter Stewart in January 1959, and he was easily confirmed.

"Special rights?" F-ck off, you are literally the worst.

It's a special right to ask for assurances that I will not be shamed at and turned away from a restaurant? The only "special right" I see in this situation is the right we'd be giving lunatic bigots to treat a particular group of people like garbage.

It only seems like a special right to you because you are used to moving through society with your privilege unimpeded. How horrible and unfair that you are forced to tolerate the presence and legitimacy of people who are different! Poor little put-upon JCL! Cry

See the funniest thing about that law you wanted signed is that if I moved to Georgia and opened a restaurant, I could put up a sign that said "NO CHRISTIANS ALLOWED" and claim that my sincerely-held atheist beliefs prohibit me from serving you, and you'd be out of luck.

The corrupt NFL monopoly strikes again! The courts warned us about this and did nothing about it. Sad!

That implies Atheism is a religion, (which it sort of is), but not for 1st Amendment purposes.

Which 1960 Senate rule would that be?  I highly doubt I ever expressed any belief in some random 60s rule for no apparent reason, but feel free to enlighten me Tongue

Nice job by Deal (R-GA)!

No it won't. It didn't get enough support the first time around for an override and after the backlash there is no way Republicans that voted against it will jump on the crazy train.

It was unanimous in the house and nearly the same in the Senate.
