Forcing people to comply with the wishes of Same-Sex-Attraction-Disorder (SSAD) couple is as sick as allowing these same mentally deranged people to adopt same sex children to feed on. The real criminals are the blackrobed tyrants sitting on the high bench.

The state cannot force inmates to work when they do not want to, yet free persons are.

Hope it doesn't get there until after Goresuch does.

I'm afraid of a 4-4 tie. No precedent, but the lower court ruling stands.

She just should have sent dead flowers. Or have the whole order fall out of the truck on the way to the wedding. Or add some killer bees. Maybe some slugs.
There are sooo many ways to skin this cat.

Am I wrong in claiming the constitution and its amendments grant us the right to discriminate over every aspect of our lives? That is kind of what our founders intended by working to establish this form of government, right?

We should not be forced by the states to conform to a standard that restricts that collective freedom. If we limit discrimination because of race, or sex, or who bakes a flower or grows cakes, then why stop there when there are so many other aspects of our lives they could control?

Arguments could be made that I shouldn’t be permitted to discriminate over what clothes to wear today, what food to eat, where I want to work, what to watch on TV, which candidate I might vote for, and so on. The state court seems to be fixated on the law’s intent and who it protects instead of who it harms. It harms all of us. Soon they will force us to only do business with protected classes.

This continued division of citizens into special protected classes where anyone with differing opinions are publicly and financially destroyed sure smells like restricting our constitutional right to discriminate. Feel free to discriminate against me if you disagree.

From the Washington State Constitution:

Absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief and worship, shall be guaranteed to every individual, and no one shall be molested or disturbed in person or property on account of religion; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness or justify practices inconsistent with the peace and safety of the state.
