The owners of a Portland-area bakery are refusing to pay $135,000 in state-ordered damages to a same-sex couple who were denied service.

[....]

The Kleins have filed an appeal of the ruling and are defying the order to pay. They're claiming financial hardship although crowdfunding efforts have brought in over $500,000 on their behalf, The Oregonian reported.

The couple closed the Gresham store in 2013 and operate the business from home.

Make plain white cakes. - Don’t get emotionally involved with your customers; and don’t sell those little “bride & groom” dolls to decorate the tops of cakes. Maybe sell silk florals to top them with. Maintain a closed mouth policy for yourselves as bakers AND for your customers. - Sell your cakes and mind your own business. Resist diarrhea of the mouth!!

With Anthony Kennedy ruling the roost, they’ll get nowhere in federal court either. Face it: the country is in the grip of malign evil.

"If odumbo can ignore our laws, why not the bakers?"

Agree.
But the resulting problem in a "nation of laws" is that the meaning of laws is watered down - laws and are seen as arbitrary so more and more ordinarily law-abiding folk ignore them (and with good reason).
The end result is chaos, which suits Obozo just fine, but doesn't bode well for our future as a nation of laws.

The Klien’s should use part of the $500,000 raised on their behalf to appeal and appeal again and again until the rug munchers get sick and tired of waiting for their money and for paying for for legal fees (if they even have an atty).

What makes you think the queers are paying for all this out of their own pocket? Guaranteed they are bank rolled by people with deeper pockets than the Kliens and their supporters. Your point on it being about the money for he queers is incorrect. That has little to nothing to do with it. It is about punishing Christians for their beliefs and causing others that might speak out against sodomites to live in fear. It is about destroying the morals of this society.

This is great news! It would have been crazy to have paid that.

The judge and the queers that did this are sodomite criminals. Let them be the ones to suffer for ruining the lives of this couple standing for decency against sex offenders.

The sodomite complaint was a lie. The biblical penalty for a lie is the value of the lie. The sodomites should have to pay $135,000.

No courts in this country honor the biblical idea of justice for people who give dishonest testimony. Liars prevail!

The unaccountable state bureaucrat’s name and home address are easily Googleable.

Just sayin’...

It seems that the best way to go through life is dead broke, because nobody can ever come after you for anything.

Matt 8:20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

Eventually, the unelected bureaucrat responsible for persecuting these Christians and denying them their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion needs to be prosecuted for a federal felony:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242

18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States . . . shall be fined under this title or imprisoned . . . or may be sentenced to death.

Capital offenses have no statute of limitations under federal law, and the death penalty is an option under this law, so there may be no deadline for justice against this evil thug. Eventually, every judge and bureaucrat who is persecuting Christians (the thug persecuting these bakers, the thug persecuting the county clerk, and all the rest) needs to be prosecuted, fined, disgraced, and imprisoned as punishment for a level of evil not seen since the persecutions in Rome, early in Church history.

Best thing to do, is fight this for years.

Charles Murray, in his book “By The People”, outlines ways to act out civil disobedience to certain laws. At the fed level they don’t have enough investigators and lawyers to mount a defence to a a full force. I think he avoids this type of case as it has a halo. too much popular support for the poor gays etc. but he also outlines the creation of a “Madison Fund” to help fund the lawsuits or administrative order as in this case. it is only admin not a article III court.
