Homosexual acts should be illegal everywhere. Some things just need to be oppressed.
Even when they lose, they win. The Christians win the SCOTUS hearing, but it's practically a technical win only. They've lost their fortunes during the long legal battle -- the process is the punishment.
hmmm.....wonder if simply delivering a crappy product would work?
To the business owners - Why get involved in this? Find out what the requesters want ahead of time and tell them you are too busy to fulfill your request and give them the name of someone who will do it for them.
So far, twice for the bakers.
Why/How is the appeals court able to not abide by the SCOTUS ruling?
Try that with no shoes or shirt.
Fh. Y how fa,ebook, Twitter youtube and ilk can deny people the right to use their social networks, which is open to,the public just like other businesses, for any reason, under the excuse that it “violates their beleifs”, but conservative businesses can’t deny service to anyone based on a violation of their beliefs.
"Rights of LGBT people" ... You don't have a "right" to someone else's services - that would be slavery. Businesses run by "LGBT people" likely would not be forced to personally design websites celebrating that marriage is between one man and one woman, would they?
Evidently she wasn’t sued by the mafia. She went to court in 2016 to challenge the state law. This gives the supreme court a chance to clarify the Colorado cake baker’s decision. More here:
I sell used cars and parts. I don’t care who what you are as long as your check clears. That said I’m in different on others choosing who they want their customers to be.
There was a quaint candy shop in the artsy part of town....
I stopped in once and bought some items and paid with a check...
A few days later my check was returned because I had a Bible verse imprinted on it and they essentially said they didn’t want to serve Christians
Now this was years ago......but I wish I had kept the check and note!
PS ....had I known, I’m sure I wouldn’t have wanted to eat anything from there either.
Can a muslim bakery refuse to decorate a cake for a same sex wedding based on their deeply held religious beliefs?
Can a black-owned bakery refuse to decorate a cake with the words "white power" based on their personal objection to the message?
This could wind up being a very slippery slope.
The correct presentation to the court:
“This company, who wasn’t bothering anyone was targeted by individuals who disagree with them”
“Clearly a violation of Freedom of Speech”
I still can’t get a ham sandwich at a Jewish deli.
Let’s watch them dance around this issue again, ignoring the elephant in the room.
No mask, no service. End of oral argument.
John Roberts will DEFINITELY VOTE WITH THE LIBERALS!! He is VERY DICEY!
I wonder what Jesus would do?
The authorities of His day were convinced they could stump Him on paying taxes or not. He asked for a coin, asking whose face was on the coin? Caesar’s. “Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and give unto God that which is God’s”.
On this issue, what belongs to Caesar [the guvmint] and what belongs to God? The lady is doing it right, taking it up through the courts. But even taking issues up through the courts is giving far more to Caesar than Caesar deserves. It’s almost like OVERpaying your taxes.
It’s only a matter of time until the courts declare pedophiles to be protected under these non-discrimination laws.
