Now it gets fun, thanks to the counter suit.
This is the fault of the SCOTUS itself.
After they made their decision in favor of the Christian Baker, I thought it was a Pyrrhic Victory as they only addressed an issue related to THAT PARTICULAR CASE but did not make it a BASIC First Amendment related decision applicable to all religious businessmen.
As someone posted elsewhere, Other than in the concurrence by Gorsuch and Alito, the Court focused on the Commission’s overt anti-religious bias during the state hearing, not on the core issue of whether the baker had the first amendment right to refuse service.
If the SCOTUS did that, it would have been applicable to ALL religious businesses -— Bakers, Florist, Photographers, Lodge Owners, etc.
This should already be a warning to every Christian businessman out there. The strategy of the alt-lifestyle leftists is to sue you into bankruptcy, even if they can’t win, if they can’t get their way.
Justice Kennedy is also at fault here. This could have been a broader ruling as I stated above, however, Kennedy was unwilling to join it. So, Chief Justice Roberts could only get a majority by limiting the decision to the issue of bias at the hearing.
We really need justices like Scalia and Thomas who could have settle this issue once and for all, not someone like Kennedy. Otherwise, we will again see cases like these occurring everywhere in this country.
Punitive damages to ensure the State does not repeat this.
He should sue for damages.
I would have closed the shop and gone away the first time they told me that I had to do something that was against my beliefs and values.
They would have been lucky if I didn’t leave my bakery in the condition Ellis Wyatt left his oil field.
What is the penalty for malicious prosecution?
So, reading closer, I see that some ambulance chasing shyster lawyer Social Justice Warrior who also happens to be a tranny intentionally targeted him.
in a just society, the shyster would be disbarred, shunned and run out of town on a rail.

All he has to say is that he refused services based on politics. That’s what liberals do and it works.
I find it interesting that no gay couple has asked a Muslim bakery to bake a cake.
I’d sue every damn person I could, both in government and the individuals who would deny this gentleman his Constitutional rights
If anyone thinks it’s just a coincidence that this weenie Chopper just happened to show up at this Bakery without collusion with some Deep Pocket leftist then they’re just crazy. Punitive and tyrannical is what it is and it needs to be stopped.
The left just throws crap until they get a corrupt liberal judge.
It would be difficult or impossible to prove to a legal standard, but I am 100% sure that there was collusion between the tranny attorney and some of the commission members in the planning and execution of this intimidation.
Aubrey Elenis needs to be introduced to Rule .308.
Well it looks like another communists run State.
Odds are by the time this case works its way back to the Supreme Court, the court will be far more conservative than the one who ruled narrowly for Masterpiece Cake this summer, they may very well find themselves in a worse situation than they are now.
He should file suit to suspend or disbar Autumn Scardina for misconduct. If Scardina contacted the man in order to harass him and relitigate him, that’s serious misconduct.
