different plaintiff and different event.

This isn't like a criminal case where each individual crime is tried as a separate offense.

This is a case of principle, which the court has already decided in the baker's favor. The underlying question of whether a person can be complelled to render services to another, for some purpose which violates their religious convictions, was settled.

Dragging the baker through another court case which is substantially the same as the first case, is a gross misuse of our justice system, and little more than waging 'lawfare' against the deep seated beliefs of the American people.

No, this is a civil case where separate plaintiffs file on separate alleged offenses.

Entirely possible. But unless the Supreme Court issues a definitive ruling, and not the narrow ruling like they did last time, it may well keep happening.
