See my post #60.

Just sent a note of support. I’ll follow the talk with the walk if it comes to that. Is there a legal defense fund for Mr. Phillips?

[stevio]

What a bunch of BS. And the rest of us sit back and let this happen.

This reminds me strongly of the Canadian case of several years back where a Muslim Advocacy group used the Canadian and British Columbia Provincial "Human Rights Commission / Tribunal" (HRC) to bring suit against the MacLean Magazine and author Mark Steyn for "publishing or causing to be published anything that discriminates against a person or group, or exposes them to hatred or contempt." Since the MacLean Magazine and Mark Steyn were able to pay for top-notch lawyers, the BC HRC dismissed the complaint to the stated disappointment of Mark Steyn who desired to take the case to the judicial arena as the HRC operation was an appointed body of generally liberal orientation who had been promoting an equally liberal rulings.

I think that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission is probably full of people with the same orientation and viewpoint. These people know that they can read the hearts of their victims and improve society by beating down all the nails!

[Tzimisce]

So much for free speech, free expression, freedom of thought and the government not being allowed to prohibit religious practices.

I once owned a business and would do business with anyone. Some just had to pay triple price.

You take it up with the people who wrote the statutes by pressing the test.

Do it, make a stink about it, bring it to court if nothing else for unequal protection under the law. Make them work to justify it.

If forcing someone to provide a service they don’t want to provide and to force them into reeducation camps so to speak isn’t unconstitutional then nothing they do is.

Be done letting them make the rules that go against basic freedoms and just rolling over and saying those are the rules, constitutional or not, so we have to live by them. Submission to tyranny has been going on too long. Tyranny will grow and prosper as long as we say “it’s the law, nothing we can do” and walk away.

Where does the Civil Rights Commission get its authority to tell anybody what they can and can’t do? And where can we see the names of the people who made this ruling?

Somebody should sue PETA for not serving up hamburgers if they have any fundraisers/events that involve food.

Or sue Muslim business owners who won’t sell pork.

Etc.

I didn’t see anything in this article, other than the title, that mentioned re-education. But if I was in the area I would go with him to re-education and would speak my mind. They’d be begging me to leave by the time it was done. And if they wouldn’t let me be there I’d sue them for discrimination.

[butterdezillion]

Yeah. Make them make a bunch of signs that say “Homosexuality is perversion”.

And how about California? Don’t they discriminate against gays who want therapy to cure homosexuality? If psychologists are going to offer any “therapy” shouldn’t they have to offer whatever therapy the customer wants?

[caww]

I don;t think this is about Christians....it is about Government thuggary of “other” nationalities wanting to change the face of this country to their ideals.... and we’re going to see much more like it.

It can be no other way when you take a look at all the foreign nationalists working in our government....and this administration....alibama has made our government into something else entirely than American Governance...and brought those within it to make it happen.

[JohnKinAK]

Meh, I meant Image not Calf.

Thanks

[sr4402]

I don;t think this is about Christians

I think it is. It is a Christian business, with Christian employees being told to violate their religious beliefs.

“Instead he could make a plain white stacked- layer cake. “

That would be racist. How do you think the
Chocolate City” crowd would feel?

I have an excellent recipe for X-lax cake to be used in such situations. Guaranteed to re-train ill mannered dead beat customers/moochers who are determined to make pigs out of themselves.

[TigersEye]

That would still be participating in a homosexual wedding albeit in a passive aggressive manner. Responding to a neurosis by being neurotic isn’t really a positive solution.

[The Duke]

Well, at least the judge didn't order the baker to be beheaded. ...

Well, at least this year!

[xzins]

They’d probably rule that sign making isn’t a public accommodation.

Administrative Law is unconstitutional. Leftists argue that it is simply an extension of the Legislatures delegation of powers in law writing. They also wholly accept the unconstitutional monstrosity that modern government is.

If that’s true then Congress can take these powers away. It should as they violate the basic right of a trial in a court of law, not an executive quasi court.

Cato on the same subject: http://www.cato.org/multimedia/events/administrative-law-unlawful

Look at the abrogation of rights and you’ll find Administrative, not Constitutional Law at its heart.

[1010RD]

Here’s the typical law school belief about adminlaw:

The hardest place to find a Constitutionalist is a law school.

HERE ARE SIX CONUNDRUMS OF LIBERALISM:
1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
