Neither feds, nor states. This is a terrible decision on top of other terrible decisions. The Right to Freedom of Association is absolute as regards the private actions of a free people. Government should not be able to discriminate, but then we have way too much government already.
It’s a case of Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Who buys a wedding cake for $135,000 from a small business bakery? Not only that, that’s multiplying the expense of mine and many others’ entire wedding receptions! FTR, I don’t even feel that someone who would refuse service to me deserves to be charged that much.
The 99% problem is the feds who have long since abandoned their constitutional chains and limitations. The Constitution is pointed directly at the feds, not the states.
The feds are behind almost every instance of wrongful and unconstitutional interference of our lives with a long list of horribles like banning prayer and the Bible in public schools, forced integration, “affirmative action” and quotas, prohibition of state anti-abortion laws, restraints on religious free exercise, and now, interfering with state anti-gay marriage laws and individuals’ rights to choose and discriminate.
Focus on the feds. They are the BIG problem. Kill the unconstitutional 80% portion of the feds, and you’ve killed the beast.
