The Intermountain West and the rest of the country is humming with the news that Senator Larry Craig (R-ID), who voted against gay marriage and is a considered a social conservative was arrested in a Minneapolis Airport bathroom back in June for engaging in lewd conduct. He subsequently plead guilty and was sentenced to 10 days in jail (suspended), 1 year of probation, and a $1000 fine, but it did not become public until now.

We've had this discussion before. There were the pharmacists who refused to fill prescriptions for birth control . There were the Muslim cab drivers at the Minneapolis airport who refused to transport anyone carrying alcohol. In both instances, the general opinion has been, if moral codes or religious beliefs make it impossible for them to do their jobs, perhaps they ought to think about a career change. The latest instance of personal beliefs getting in the way of doing a job - Muslim cash register operators refusing to handle pork products -- has a number of people, mostly employers, saying that it's okay. On the other hand, it's a case which has a lot of people saying, if they can't do their jobs, they shouldn't have those jobs.
