Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to back a Christian wedding website designer’s choice not to provide services to gay couples, calling the decision “profoundly wrong” in a scathing dissenting argument read from the bench.
“Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class,” Sotomayor wrote.
The associate justice harkened back to the civil rights and women’s rights movements in her dissent, suggesting that in recent years, gender and sexual orientation minority groups have faced “backlash to the movement for liberty and equality.”

We’re basically at the point where “protected class” should explicitly name Christian’s. What when the Pride parade have the upper hand socially? Who needs protection?
It’s absurd. Just as absurd as thinking “equality under the law” means you carve out a “protected class”, where it’s an ‘extra crime’ if you do the same to them as you would anyone else. The ‘crime’ becomes subjective and has no business being in law.
“First, Rasmussen must explain the nature of its relationship with several right-leaning blogs and online media outlets, which have given us reason to doubt the ethical operation of the polling firm. please tell us whether questions are ever suggested to Rasmussen from these outlets, including Fox News and “Steve Bannon’s War Room”, where Rasmussen’s head pollster regularly appears, with the promise of coverage in return for “public” fieldwork? Do Rasmussen’s pollsters work with anyone from these organizations on topics to consider polling, despite listing polls as un-sponsored or sponsored by other groups? Does the pollster have a close personal relationship with any of these figures that might cloud their judgement in the operation of a public poll?”
Maybe we can see the beginning of the reduction in two things - what is a “public accomodation” and what does the CONSTITUTION say about any “protected classes”. As far as I know all the “protected classes” are attributes identifiable at birth, nationality or by religion and not adopted behaviors.
““Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class,” Sotomayor wrote.”
I may be wrong but my understanding was not that this business refused to serve a “protected class” but that they declined to provide a particular service. The aggrieved party could have chosen any of the defendants other services or products, just not one that violated the religious/moral beliefs of the business.
It’s the same guy who has been sued and gone to the SC at least once before, where the baker won. This was an attack on Christianity as they have never even approached a Muslim-owned bakery with the request to bake a gay couple a wedding cake. I hope he counter sued for damages.
Jackson, Kagan, Sotomayor
Bahahaha
The constitution wins
Libtards have a crisis
Bahahahhahahaha
I believe that’s incorrect.
It’s my understanding that this website developer initiated the lawsuit, as a way to protect herself from potential harassment from someone who might want her to make a website she didn’t want to make.
Your statement correct. If Soto upset must be a good day
It’s absolutely stupefying someone that ignorant has a seat on the court.
she better resign soon if biden is going to be able to replace her.
Isn’t she a”wise Latina” which in Spanish means she once identified as a woman to get on SCOTUS. These freaks are insane.
Just stupid and ignorant stuff from Justice Sotomayor. Gays did not walk in the door and she "refused them service" for being gay. She refused to actively participate in their life, values, and beliefs. If gays had walked in the door and asked her to design a website for a flower shop they own, she would not have refused them service. Just like the cake designer did not refuse service to people for being gay - he refused to actively participate in their life, values, and beliefs.
This is a lie from the left and now it is being written by a Supreme Court justice.
Correct. This is a targeted, organized effort.
Then resign from the bench, quota bitch… today.
Kagan shifted to the Left on this one - she has normally been supportive of religious liberty, as was Breyer.
If I were to walk into a black owned, web designing business site, dressed in my very best klan suit and asked to have a Klan website be created and the black owner refused .. would that be met with the same furor?🤔
For what it’s worth:

Her spirit is in accord with the alphabet deviants, whether or not she is a practicing lezbo herself.
It just keeps getting worser and worser for this Marxist bitch.
Just resign already.
