If she can't play by the rules, she can't play in our market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846426.post-1132523116494261462005-11-20T15:45:00.000-06:002005-11-20T15:45:00.000-06:00There may be a way to turn this into a "Reality S...There may be a way to turn this into a "Reality Show." The already famous Rocky Top Salvage Store could be the background on the community dealing with mundane as well as hot issues.<BR/><BR/>Being called up to serve on the jury, I would have to go with Judge Solomon - Erma can't discriminate among her customers; her place of business is in the public domain. Her penalty in addition to legal costs should be to give the value of goods to a needy family.<BR/><BR/>Juror #1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846426.post-1132106135495278902005-11-15T19:55:00.000-06:002005-11-15T19:55:00.000-06:00Irene and Erma just need to get together at the lo...Irene and Erma just need to get together at the local Amish pub and drink some homemade moonshine together.

The situation is more pointed because Erma is running a public business involving transactions with people who are not members of her sect and have no intention of becoming members. To the extent that Erma wants to play in that game, she has to abide by its rules, which exclude discrimination on the basis of religious affiliation--or lack thereof.<BR/><BR/>Nobody will mistake me for Solomon, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15846426.post-1131918023577074762005-11-13T15:40:00.000-06:002005-11-13T15:40:00.000-06:00Thanks, uncle.

Google turned up the following related article from the context of Jewish law:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/9u5uf<BR/><BR/>The article mentions the Robert Bear suit against the Reformed Mennonites, but also mentions that there are a surprising number of other traditions that practice the ban in some form or other. Not being a lawyer, I hadn't realized that there was such a body of case law on the topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
