A Christian florist and grandmother who declined to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding because of her Christian belief in traditional marriage has been fined $1,001 by a Washington court and will be held liable to pay the legal fees incurred by the gay couple, which could "devastate" her financially.

PRAYERS UP!
Seems she was set-up.
No First Amendment rights for her.
I’d appeal.
Fascism-USA style.
Is there a GoFundme (or whatever it is) for her?

only question - how do we know she is the one who will get the money?

Sort of makes one wonder about the limits of power of a court. I mean, how can the court compel her to bake the cake? Lock her up until she does so? There is a limit to the court’s power, even criminal contempt is time limited. Once it is clear that incarceration is going to be fruitless, the court (supposedly) loses its power - it certainly loses its claim to being just and moral - not that courts give a darn about that.
Everyone needs access to two people: A guy name Guido who is proficient with a baseball bat and a guy named "Larry the Torch".
Some people deserve whatever happens to them.
I wonder if a bunch of people could send envelopes with 30 dimes to this AG and tell him to apply those 30 pieces of silver towards this woman’s bill. Address it to Judas Iscariot at the AG’s office.
