...Aaron said the fine would bankrupt the couple and their five children.

A couple hundred armed militia should provide protection for the bakers constitutional right to freedom of religion.
The state of Oregon and the faggots can piss off.
They should have made the cake, shoddily, then dropped it on the floor immediately prior to delivery. Accidents happen after all. lesson learned.
“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”
- attributed to Thomas Jefferson
“An unjust law is no law at all”
– Martin Luther King
Sexually and emotionally disordered tyrants to Christian bakers: “If you don’t give us what we want, and worse, make us feel bad about ourselves in any way, we’ll DESTROY YOU and receive pleasure from your suffering!”
If there is no ability to take this to higher courts, then it is unconstitutional.
I would think this falls under the same rule...
Freedom of association
Further information: Freedom of association
Although the First Amendment does not explicitly mention freedom of association, the Supreme Court ruled, in National Association for the Advancement of Colored People v. Alabama (1958),[226][227] that this freedom was protected by the Amendment and that privacy of membership was an essential part of this freedom.[228] The U.S. Supreme Court decided in Roberts v. United States Jaycees (1984) that "implicit in the right to engage in activities protected by the First Amendment" is "a corresponding right to associate with others in pursuit of a wide variety of political, social, economic, educational, religious, and cultural ends."[229] In Roberts the Court held that associations may not exclude people for reasons unrelated to the group's expression, such as gender.[230]
However, in Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston (1995),[231] the Court ruled that a group may exclude people from membership if their presence would affect the group's ability to advocate a particular point of view.[232] Likewise, in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000),[233] the Court ruled that a New Jersey law, which forced the Boy Scouts of America to admit an openly gay member, to be an unconstitutional abridgment of the Boy Scouts' right to free association.[234]
Reminds me of the fines, taxes and punishments visited upon Boston in 1770....
...’A Line In The Sand’, if you ask me
From Lizzie Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Obama’s Death Panels, and now various sham state administrative courts with power to destroy livelihoods, we are steadily being denied due process, in which “judges” who are hostile to freedom are given extraordinary powers.
In our system, there is supposed to be a presumption of liberty, not the power of the state to deny it.
Seems like the 13th Amendment specifically addresses this situation, specifically:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Of course, given all the numbskulls in the judiciary these days, it is an open question whether the Constitution applies at all to Libtards and their socialist agenda.
According to the feds, bakers must make cakes any way customers demand it. That means if Nazis want cakes decorated with swastikas, Jewish-owned bakeries must bake them that way. Klan cakes with decorations of blacks being hanged must also be baked by black-owned bakeries. No exceptions.
Should have just made them an Ex-Lax chocolate cake...
Would have ruined their wedding night!
Find an islamic-owned restaurant and ask them to cater an Easter party with ham, bacon and pulled pork.
If they refuse, go to this same agency and sue them.
What happens if/when the bakers refuse to pay the fine? Jail time? What then happens when the bakers refuse to submit to go to jail for not baking a gay cake? Do they get killed if swat is then sent out? All because they choose to not ‘celebrate’ and partake in other’s sinful behavior?
It is not about the cake.
I don’t believe those that ordered the cake ever intended to eat it.
It is all about forcing others to do what they want them to do
these perverts are taking rights away from millions of people, the perverts have had no rights taken away as they can marry the opposite sex just like we can and can’t or should not marry the same sex like we can’t.
I want to know what the hell is our side doing about this crap, what our lawyers doing about it. Do they just sit there and twiddle their thumbs while in the court room?
Have they asked the judge where in the constitution it states they can have their sham marriage? Have they pointed out how they have the same rights to marriage as us and if they allow this then they should allow polygamy and other kinds of marriage?
I am so sick of these sickos pushing their twisted agenda onto us and I know if any of them ever say and they have tell me they are married they get told they are not because this family will never accept their perverted communist agenda.
That is the difference between us on the right and conservatives and libs meaning liberals, the left and liberaltarians
I am waiting for someone to go Bernie Getz on some of these clowns.
Or in cases like this one where the bakers lives are ruined, direct action is taken and all parties to the complaint have their lives ruined.
Brilliant! How dare they foist their out-moded views of what a cake should taste like on us.
Paging John Galt.
