I agree that every state gets to determine what laws they want as long as they are consistent with the state constitution. As far as I know every state constitution has as it's purpose the protecting of the inalienable rights of it's citizens.We do this by weighing the desires of the various persons in the state.Rather than saying you don't want religious laws (which is bound to be ineffective since all laws are based on someone's idea of morality/ethics at some point) I think a stronger argument would be to say that their reasons for wanting such laws are not very strongly supported. I can see no reason that selling alcohol on Sunday would be any more harmful than selling it on any other day.One could also argue that the state has not made a compelling case that restricting the rights of those who want to buy it on Sundays is in the best interest of, well, anyone, compared to restricting that right on any other day.I personally drink very little alcohol and have the foresight to buy it on days when it is sold. But it is still a right to buy whatever one might want on whatever day one might want unless the state can make a good case that there is a good reason for restricting those rights.
