Supreme Court Ruling, 7 to 2 decision for the Colorado Baker.

Complete misunderstanding of the case. The argument was all about first amendment rights. However that was not part of the ruling. This ruling was only about the Colorado panel ruling and the Supremes saying it was hostile to the plaintiff, Phillips. They ruled that Phillips should get relief . It had nothing to do with the first amendment and nothing to do with gay rights. The court explained that clearly. It sets no precedence. It is simply Phillips and goes no further. So Ugly and wrong. That is why it was called narrow.

This is a correct assessment.
 
Should a Black gas station owner be forced to sale a car full of KKK members in full dress gas?

Yes, unless said merchant can show that he or she has a valid religious belief that forbids serving people dressed in KKK robes.
 
You just eliminated all liberals from consideration.

""Jack serves all customers; he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs," Waggoner said in a statement. "Creative professionals who serve all people should be free to create art consistent with their convictions without the threat of government punishment."

She further added that the case "will affect a number of cases for years to come in free exercise jurisprudence. That's how the court's decisions work."
 
there you go.

liberals can't see that far though.
To them it wasn't about the cake, it was about being able to say "they win".

And why would someone want someone to bake a cake for them that doesn't believe in principle what that cake meant to them. It's not like the only place that bakes cakes.

They don't seem to consider the unintended consequences of their actions very often. Like children, they don't seem able to think things through.

They thought Hillary would win, so they thought it would be OK to spy on and the political opposition using federal agents, I believe. They didn't think she's lose, but they had a frame-up ready as an insurance policy in case he did. It's all in the texts.

They thought nobody would ever know.

They also haven't considered that what one party can do, the other can also do. It's called precedent.

Waggoner is not a Justice, nor is her language in the Court's decision.

I wonder how liberals would react if someone would DEMAND that a business or organization support a cause or something they didn't agree with; because I guarantee that the liberals would be screaming 1st Amendment rights from the roof tops.
 
How about that? The SCOTUS supported our first amendment rights.

This is a very positive ruling Seven to Two.
It shows that we will not (!) stand for the control freaks that want to Fundamentally Change our culture. We are a nation under God, and will thwart these LGBTQ Idealogies.
Go America Go Trump.


You are incorrect which isn't surprising in the least. The hearing was about the process and had nothing to do with your hatred of your fellow man.
 
5 Things You Need to Know About the Supreme Court Ruling in the Anti-Gay Bakery Case

Many initial reactions from pro- and anti-gay observers and groups have been wrong.

The U.S. Supreme Court Monday morning handed down a ruling [3] in the case brought by a Colorado baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, citing his Christian beliefs.

Many initial reactions from pro- and anti-gay observers and groups have been wide-ranging, and many have been wrong. (Perhaps most of all, Donald Trump Jr.'s, but more on that later.)

Here are five of the most important things you need to know about the Supreme Court's ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd., et al. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission et al:

1. The ruling does not allow discrimination against same-sex couples, LGBT people, or anyone else. It changes no laws and sets no precedents.

2. The ruling applies to one person only: Jack Phillips, the anti-gay Christian baker. Again, it does not set precedent, it cannot be used by others to discriminate against anyone. Period.

3. The only "person" the ruling is against is the Colorado commission that ruled against the baker – and not because of the commission's overall conclusion, that Phillips engaged in unlawful discrimination. The Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling says that the commission acted with "hostility," in this one case, against Phillips.

4. The Court's ruling calls for Americans to find a way to be tolerant towards each other, respecting the rights of gay people and the rights of people of faith. (It does not state those are two opposing groups.)

5. If anything, the Supreme Court's ruling is in part a win for the LGBT community and supporters of equality. Here's the key passage from the Court's majority opinion: "these disputes must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market."

You will no doubt see huge proclamations of victory from the anti-gay right. If they say anything other than what's above, chances are good they're false.

How many bidnesses do you see that have a sign saying they have the right to refuse service for anyone?
I kick out customers for any number of reasons, sometimes even calling the police if they don't leave fast enuf.
I can't believe Ginsburg and Sotomayor actually voted the way they did. Shows how far out of touch they are.
Of course we all know that Ginsburg's an alchy.

They'd likely regard being asked to serve someone they don't like offensive and a hate crime. That way, the'd be the victim.

Those signs have no legal force.

Just as "Not responsible for personal items" signs have no legal force if a bailment exists.
