re: #363 hicsuget

I’m arguing, not exactly the opposite, but a different point entirely—I’m arguing that it is unconstitutional to pass a law that says only Sikhs are permitted to wear nose rings.

Nor would that be what the law would say. you’re over-simplifying the case to a remarkable degree. There are prohibitions against the taking of life, and yet the law recognizes occasions where it is excusable, permissible, and even mandatory to do so. This does not mean that the law is self-contradictory, or that the law demands the taking of life.
