I would like to see this appealed into federal courts.
I’m not an attorney, so please bear with me.
But, are their due process rights being violated?
Is a fine of $135,000 for not baking a wedding cake, which I’m sure our nice “lesbian” couple got baked elsewhere, an excessive fine; does the punishment fit the crime? Could this even be an example of cruel and unusual punishment, to be fined so severely for not baking a cake???
Except, that it’d cost upwards of a million dollars or more to do that. The system is farked!!
The Supreme Court last year ruled that a group must have the opportunity to appeal and seek due process outside the administrative courts (the government bureaucracy creating rules, then enforcing rules) before they are forced to comply.
The Pacific Legal Foundation argued that and won in front of the Supreme Court, in a case where the EPA said comply with the ruling, THEN you can appeal it.
Demanding that someone pay the fine while they try to appeal it seems to be a violation of that Supreme Court ruling.

Yes, obviously.
The fag judge has personal skin in the game.
