Colorado Christian cakeshop sued a third time for discrimination

The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop -- which won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court recently -- was sued for a third time this week.

Jack Phillips, the Lakewood, Colorado bakery owner who has refused to bake cakes that violate his Christian faith, is being sued again by Autumn Scardina, a transgender woman, for refusing to bake a gender transition cake.

Scardina claims it is textbook LGBT discrimination. ..."

He has insisted he doesn't want to do something that goes against his faith.

He said the cases against him have directly affected his family and business and he's faced death threats and harassment.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Phillips last year in a case where he refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.

The high court ruled the Colorado Civil Rights Commission showed "anti-religious bias" when it filed a discrimination charge against Phillips.

The commission then filed another complaint against Phillips after he refused to make Scardina a cake celebrating a gender transition.

He, in turn, sued the state claiming he was being singled out for his religious beliefs.

The Commission and Phillips agreed to drop their cases in March after discovery showed "anti-religious hostility" from the state toward the family-run bakery.

Approval isn’t enough for these people. They want applause and celebration of their depravity.

IMHO we are beyond the civility of lawsuits ... time for some knee-capping.

It’s called ‘lawfare.’ Doesn’t matter who wins, the accused pays.

You could probably counter-sue and win. The problem is, you would likely get nothing as these losers likely have nothing to get. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. And, you're still stuck with the legal bills.

Ya know... I might have fought the first one in court.

After the second one... If you don't 'Go Galt', then all you are doing is enriching lawyers.

This is stalking now.

If Facebook and Twitter are private companies that can deny services to people they don't agree with, then how come this bakery can't do the same?

I heard Rush today say “It” wanted a picture on the cake of Satan performing fellatio.

Missed the show today, but checked the transcript at his website and found it.

"The latest lawsuit against Jack Phillips is — I’m not making this up, now.

The latest lawsuit against Jack Phillips, the owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop, is filed by a guy who harassed the bakery for months, requesting things like a cake with a picture of Satan performing fellatio.

The guy walks in, requested that Jack Phillips bake a cake with a picture of Satan performing fellatio. Of course, Jack Phillips said “no.”"

Some sick people in this world. They can’t stand that someone thinks differently on a given subject. Must make them conform.

I really feel bad for his guy and his family, and I support him 100%. At this point, all of these lawsuits are frivolous and should be tossed out. People who dislike his religious beliefs are purposefully seeking him out and causing problems.

I wish I lived close enough to give this guy my business. I’m coming up on 5 years of a functioning (gently used) kidney and just had my 10-year anniversary.
