in the Land of Hypotheticals
Because that's what law deals in- the great what ifs'....and how will this opinion be translated into similar fact patterns.
So imagine this one:
On planet Castrati I run the Church of Unity Seattle Space Needle Vegans and we run a small grocery store at discount prices of vegan foods. Only organic vegan foods are in our store. We don't eat pesticides. Against our religion. We are purists, we only allow followers to put in their mouths authorized foods.
The government has a new rule that says all grocery stores across the country must comply with labeling requirements for one type of particularly bitter fruit which contain the following- where the produce was grown, which farm, if any pesticides were used, if the produce has been FDA inspected and approved and whether any litigation has been generated of a personal injury nature because of consumption in addition to the recommended daily requirement and vitamin and mineral content of the food.
The Church of Unity Seattle Space Needle Vegans said- hold on there! or Yo Dude! Those labels have to be put on the fruit and veggies with a sticky gum paste which is not authorized for consumption. In fact there has been litigation that the sticky stuff on the labels when consumed in massive amounts actually makes people sick. So we don't want to put the labels on the food. Our food is really pure-
But the government says -look, everyone who shops there doesn't know your pesticide practices and some people would rather know if any litigation was generated by the harm in eating something or not than the tiny amount of gum stickiness in their intestines resulting from the debris of the peeled off label. Plus no one is forced to buy the bitter forbidden fruit.
The highest Bishop mahoff Bernie decries RELIGIOUS LIBERTY violation!
He organizes massive vegan rallies- and gives out french fried sweet potato chips (fried in soy oil).
You can't do this Sister Sam!
So how is this different?
Clearly there is a reasonable man somewhere on planet Castrati. Have him call me.
