A California judge refused this week to order a baker to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, ruling that to do otherwise would be to trample on the baker’s free speech rights.

Superior Court Judge David R. Lampe said in his Monday ruling that wedding cakes run to the core of the First Amendment.

“It is an artistic expression by the person making it that is to be used traditionally as a centerpiece in the celebration of a marriage. There could not be a greater form of expressive conduct,” the judge wrote.

Thank God. Despite the ridiculousness of our governor and other reps, Christians make up most of our state’s population. We just don’t have strong , appealing conservative candidates step up to the plate enough.

Common sense breaking out in a California courtroom? Is the original source ‘The Onion’ here?

Freedom of expression is allowing someone to make a same sex “wedding” cake. Slavery is forcing someone to do it.

Why would it be contrary to free speech? That doesn't make any sense. — Now, saying it would violate involuntary servitude does make sense.

Of course it’s the right call.
Should a Jewish baker be forced by law to bake a cake for a Nazi picnic?
Should a black baker be forced by law to bake a cake for a KKK meeting?

Of course not.

Earthshaking (for California). If that doesn’t trigger the San Andreas Fault, maybe nothing will.
