A “pharmacist could use religion as a justification to refuse to serve African-American customers because she believes the Bible mandates the segregation of the races.”

This would be in violation of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting discrimination with regard to public accommodations based on race, and would be invalidated by the courts as a consequence.

Conservatives’ contempt for the rule of law is just as repugnant as their bigotry and racism.
