Baker ordered into reindoctrination for refusing to promote same-sex 'marriage'!
The U.S. Supreme Court has picked Dec. 5 to hear arguments in the case of a Colorado baker who was accused of violating a state regulation by refusing to promote a same-sex “wedding” with his artistry.
In Colorado, it was a biased Civil Rights Commission that ordered Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop to provide his customized wedding cakes to same-sex duos if he provided them to anyone. He also was told to undergo state-mandated, homosexual-rights thought training and take his staff with him.
A member of the state’s Civil Rights Commission, Diann Rice, publicly exhibited bias against him during a hearing, comparing him to a Nazi.
“I would also like to reiterate what we said in the hearing or the last meeting,” Rice said during consideration of Phillips’ case. “Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the Holocaust, whether it be – I mean, we – we can list hundreds of situations where freedom of religion has been used to justify discrimination. And to me it is one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use to – to use their religion to hurt others.”
Hear a recording of Rice’s statement:
It was the same state commission that ruled homosexual bakers can legitimately refuse to create a cake with a Bible verse that condemns homosexuality, arguing it offends their beliefs.

Baker ordered into reindoctrination for refusing to promote same-sex ‘marriage’
It was the same state commission that ruled homosexual bakers can legitimately refuse to create a cake with a Bible verse that condemns homosexuality, arguing it offends their beliefs.
This woman is insane, she actually believes that it was freedom of religion that was responsible for the Holocaust and slavery? This woman should not be in a position of authority, especially not one that so seriously affects other people's lives. I have no doubt that oe would find she is an atheist.
Baker should point to a couple of security cameras and say, “See those? The feed goes directly to my lawyer’s office, and I pay him a fortune to watch it. Go get your stupid asses lawyered up.”
I think one argument will be whether an optional and artistic service is a public accommodation, like a water fountain.
A better one would be over servitude.

Not sure how the Christian bakers can be so vilified in the courts and this homosexual Seattle business owner can hurl foul epithets at a Christian pro life group while kicking them out after they just stopped by to grab some coffee
Unfortunately, I don’t hold out much hope for this Supreme Court case since it appears (barring a resignation or death between now and December 5th) that Anthony “never rules against a queer” Kennedy will be the deciding vote... (And I’m sure the four liberals already have their opinion against the bakery written before the first hearing has been held.)
Ah, I see! The religious bakers played it wrong, citing their religion instead of their non-religious beliefs! (As if LGBGQTXYZ is not a religion unto itself). If there is not a unanimous ruling in favor of the religious bakers, then this is proof positive that one or more Justices emote, not adjudicate.
This will be interesting because unlike most cases that come before the USSC - which originate with a Decision by a US District Court of Appeals - this one involves a decision of the Colorado State Court of Appeals. I think Kennedy is going to go full rogue and side with the homosexual lobby. Roberts may go along as well to show how he’s “grown” as the Chief Justice. Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch should be solid nos. If this decision goes the wrong way it will highlight the absolute necessity for a second Trump term. Even if Trump goes a bit wobbly on some of his other issues, missing the opportunity to replace Thomas with a younger justice, and to replace hopefully Kennedy, Breyer and Ginsburg, has to take precedence over the other issues. I’m not saying that we stay silent if Trump waters down the key planks of border security, immigration restrictions, and elimination of the Obamacare mandates, but without a conservative USSC America as a nation is lost. A liberal majority on the USSC would rewrite most of the individual rights to suit their political agenda. Goodbye the right to bear arms, the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to free speech.
Most liberals believe that.
An important case for the LGERBILQ crowd.
To force someone into "re-education" also violates their Constitutional rights to self determination.
No way the USSC upholds this, unfortunately it's going to be a "party line" vote in the USSC with liberal judges wrongly voting to uphold.
An important case for the LGERBILQ crowd.

I completely agree. The USSC has at least some semblance of a reputation to uphold. Lunacy is normal fro a lot o lower courts and judges.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
I know that patriot Judge Andrew Napolitano wasn’t shy about reading the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I to clarify that the feds have no express constitutional authority to establish Obamacare.
Judge Andrew Napolitano (about 3 minutes)
Unless patriots can petition pro-LGBQ, state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices off of the Supreme Court, it’s going to be awhile before Congress will do its duty and remove them since patriots still have to pink-slip career uniparty lawmakers in 2018 elections.
Were there witnesses?
Were the BLTGQ couple being rude and abusive and hurling epitaphs around?
Are there court documents and transcriptions giving more detail to the case?
Oral arguments are normally published later in the day after the arguments are made.
Blacks, fags, and trannies are protected classes. Any suit that affects them triggers ‘strict scrutiny’ analysis. OTOH, the right to life is just a ‘liberty interest’.
