It’s unlikely going to end well there. Roberts AND Gorsuch already made it clear where he stands on the issue.

After he gets through this one, pedophile cake is next.

It’s going to be a real treat to see these wicked vermin get their payday on Judgement Day.

Wicked doesn’t even begin to describe the LGBTQP mafia.

Maybe he should claim he’s a social media platform. It seems to be perfectly acceptable for them to discriminate against people for arbitrary reasons. Personally I support a business’s right to refuse service to anyone. I’m sure there are any number of other bakers, probably several of them even closer and more convenient, that would be happy for the business. These people went out of their way to try to harm this baker. Disgusting.

... Phillips testified during a trial in March that he did not think someone could change their gender and he would not celebrate “somebody who thinks that they can.”

Would the judge rule the same way if Mr. Scardina was a bum and smelled bad and Mr. Phillips refused him service?

IMHO, the whole "LGBT thing" is a scam on the public.

It violated terms of service. Sorry, no cake.

That’s the money line...the judge is deciding for everyone what their rights are here, making the determination that free speech isn’t the issue when the defendant is stating exactly the opposite. The government doesn’t get to decide.

I needed some work done on my house. I contacted several contractors. 4 showed up, looked over the job and offered proposals. One was obviously a female acting like a male and obviously in the midst of transitioning. It’s price was reasonable, but I did not want a mentally disturbed person in my home. And no amount of legal anything would force me to permit that person back in my home. Just sayin’...

In Tuesday’s ruling, Denver District Judge A. Bruce Jones said Autumn Scardina was denied a cake

There was a standing rule when I was young; "don't piss off the chef."

Autumn Scardina should have gotten any kind of cake h/she ordered, one with a special secret sauce.

Some people simply don't know how to fight.

Consider what could be put in the cake when you force someone to do something against their will and faith.

Anyone here ever watch The Help?

In a nutshell, my advice is to never piss off or annoy the people who make or deliver your food.

Perhaps bakers need to form ‘Clubs” where ONLY ‘Club Members can get items.

You have to pass strict entrance rules to belong to the CLUB...

The man is a Christian. That’s not something Scripture teaches. It says “Do good to your enemies”. A person can’t use faith to resist evil and then behave badly.

You turn the other check while I cheer on people to load up his cake.

He's not turning the other cheek. He is resisting evil and doing it openly.

Kennedy said: "Tolerance is essential in a free society. And tolerance is most meaningful when it's mutual. It seems to me that the state in its position here has been neither tolerant nor respectful of Mr. Phillips' religious beliefs.”

And nothing has changed. Jack's SCOTUS win is binding on this case. They are just going to keep it up until they get a Leftard Court.

Gonna be a long wait, Mr. Automan Manchin Adamsapple...
