TEARING OUT THE CONSTITUTION
The introduction might just be common knowledge to most, but it is always good to establish a base.
The United States Constitution, the law of the land, and its first ten Amendments, the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice.
According to the United States Senate on Constitution day, September 10, 2016:
“The Constitution’s first three words—We the People—affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the federal and state governments.”
It is this document that the president of the United States takes an oath to protect and defend, and, obviously, that includes the protection of minority rights of liberty and equality.
However, and it is a sad however, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Mike Lee of Utah let it be known they plan to reintroduce the First Amendment Defense Act, which had gotten little traction in 2015. But now that the Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House, Cruz and Lee feel it will breeze through to passage if reintroduced in the next few months.
The Act would prohibit the federal government from taking action against any business or person that discriminates against GLBTQ people, referring to such a potential action as “discriminatory”.
It would protect the right of all entities to refuse service to GLBTQ people based on marriage being, or should be recognized, as the union of one man and one woman, and sexual relations being properly reserved to such a marriage.
The Act would make the right to discriminate against one class of Americans a “first amendment” right, while preventing the government from taking any form of action to curb such discrimination. If the government were to take an action against any discriminating entity, individuals and businesses could sue the federal government for interfering in their right to discriminate against GLBTQ people, and the Attorney General would be required to defend the individuals and businesses.
Conn Carroll, Senator Lee’s spokesperson, has pointed out that the election of Trump has provided a cleared a path for the passage of FADA.
Some of them are listed below:-* Low cost alternate to branded drugs* Access to bulk purchases and large volumes* Release same amounts of drug to the bloodstream* Produce the same therapeutic effects Differences As there are many benefit of generic drugs, but they also have cheapest levitra some drawbacks.

“Hopefully November’s results will give us the momentum we need to get this done next year. We do plan to reintroduce FADA next Congress and we welcome Trump’s positive words about the bill.”
Discrimination against GLBT people could be devastating, and the assault on one class of citizens’ Constitutional rights would put one set of religious beliefs above all others.
Now, before anyone breathes a sigh of relief that it will only affect “them” and because we are not “them” it will not affect us, according to the language which includes a reference to sexual relations being properly reserved to a marriage between one man and one woman, individuals and businesses would be able to discriminate against unwed heterosexual couples and single mothers.
“We the people” may soon become “ Only people like us”.
