The Federalist ^ | August 15, 2018 | Bre Payton

Colorado is trying to compel the same baker who just won a Supreme Court case into baking a second cake that violates his religious beliefs.

Masterpiece Cakeshop’s Jack Phillips, who won a Supreme Court case in June, is once again being harangued by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for refusing to bake a cake with a pro-LGBTQ message. Alliance Defending Freedom filed a federal lawsuit late Tuesday night against the commission on his behalf, over the state’s second attempt to compel him to bake a cake with a message that violates his religious beliefs.

Two months ago, the Supreme Court ruled that Phillips ought not to have been forced to bake a cake with a pro-LGBT message for a same-sex couple’s wedding, because the court found that the commission was overtly hostile to the baker’s religious beliefs.

People in CO are trying to out-California CA, but that’s impossible.

Agree. A lot of people from CA are moving to CO though. One of the reasons I left CO. And there are several more reasons. But CO is too damn liberal for my blood.

The thought you meant LEGALLY.

I suppose he could go to the bakery for a cupcake, that might do something to help. It would be extra-governmental.

But the President has no authority to involve himself through government action. This is a State matter.

Chapter 19 of Judges and Genesis 19: 1-11 detail these people long before The New Testament.

Suggestion: Take the order with a smile, make the cake as ordered. Include within the cake a “few” words from God written on pieces of heavy stock paper. That would go over well at the wedding.

Yes, but:

Not gay. Not homosexual.

Homoerotic.
