If a law is applied to a common agency, that application sets precedence for other like agencies.  Playing with laws and applying them at one's pleasure is a folly for any politician.  It is wrong and it is not justifiable.  I take great pride in coming from one of the FFVA (First Families of Virginia) families (Tidewater) and take pride in coming from a state that some of our founding fathers were residents.  George Washington wrote in the Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli:  “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” I understand it had to do with our conflict with another nation but it concurs with the separation of church and state.  We all have personal idealogies, however those are not to overrun the rights of other citizens who don't agree with those idealogies.  The founding fathers understood about religious persecution and the importance of religious freedom.  If you start placing religion in the regulation of laws and politics, you start down the slippery slope of persecution.  That, is unConstitutional and very unAmerican.  That is extremism at its worst and facsism at its best.  Suppression of any part of the population falls under those catagories.  Two points here:  laws are to be applied equally and suppression is extremism.  Folly for any politician or political party.
