On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled via a 7-2 vote in favor of “Gay biased” Christian baker Jack Phillips. The ruling states that Philips had the right to refuse service to a gay couple who asked him to bake them a wedding cake. The owner of the bakery was lynch-mobbed back in 2012 by LGBG/leftist activist for refusing to do business with the gay couple on religious grounds, and he even faced charges for discrimination. It’s funny that the mainstream fake news media called the 7-2 vote of the SCOTUS a narrow win.
7-2 is a blowout in baseball or hockey. It’s the same for the Supreme Court as well. That’s Public School Progressive Math at its best, if you ask me. Here’s the guts of the decision: previously, the Colorado Supreme Court had ruled against the bakery and so did the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The US Supreme Court determined that the Colorado Court’s treatment of the bakers elevated one view of what is offensive over another view and, in doing so, sent a signal of official disapproval of the baker’s religious beliefs which violates the US Constitution. Furthermore, the US Supreme Court determined that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission’s hostility to the baker’s religious viewpoint violated the baker’s First Amendment rights.

They found the narrowest possible ground on which to make their ruling.
Good analysis by Glenn Beck:
I would assume that the real import is that one cannot be forced to create a message one disagrees with...
That’s what Rush said yesterday — that their rights as “artists” were infringed. I haven’t read that elsewhere yet. If true, it seems this may be a somewhat hollow victory.
I don’t think it is useless at all.
It sounds like they picked out the issue of the way in which this baker was targeted with the intent of harming him and depriving him of his livelihood. There is an equilibrium in that which I’m afraid that the Left has overbalanced.
It’s the difference between freedom and dictatorship, which is quite a difference.
It’s almost as though someone high up on the Left bought Julian Baggini’s theory hook line and sinker and decided that it gave them carte blanche to engineer some sort of utopian national belief system and inflict it on everybody.
I don’t think so. I think it is the difference between having the freedom to live in peace or the tyranny of having to subscribe to a national list of articles of faith. I think this might have been the greatest decision in years since it went in favor of freedom.
