   And that, despite Kresch's parody interpretation of it, does not say you   
   can never discriminate, what it says is that you cannot discriminate   
   under certain circumstances such as demanding that the government   
   enforce your bigoted behavior or insist on the right to engage in   
   interstate commerce while refusing to follow the law.
