Opposition to ENDA –the Employment Non-Discrimination Act– was all about the bathrooms in the last Congressional session. This time around, it's about religion.

National Religious Broadcasters Association spokesman Craig Parshall told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Tuesday (June 12) that ENDA would impose a "chilling effect" on religious organizations that would be monumental. He said ENDA poses a "substantial unconstitutional burden" on religious organizations that would "interfere with their ability to pursue their missions."

You mean they won't be able to push for the introduction of Shariat law in America?  Or do they practice Discrimination on religious grounds?  Fair's fair.
