Some examples:
A lawsuit? I'm am shocked! Shocked, I tell you.
I just wish I'd known of all these wonderful legal options years ago when I turned down a job that would have interfered with the practice of my faith. Who knew I should have taken the job anyway and then sued to make them accommodate me? I was so naive, I thought I was supposed to accommodate the person paying for my time.
Why the pessimism ?
It is not assured they will prevail in court.
Their sorry asses got fired, which is good.
They are the authors of their own non employment.
They got what they well deserved - ze pink slip.
To assume they will win in court - no way.
Unless Barry Hussein wins the next election, and that would be placing your bet on a snowball in hell (even with the crazed Hollywood pinkos giving up 37g a plate to his campaign).
