he Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, who has been embroiled in legal battles for more than a decade over his refusal to create certain custom cakes due to his religious beliefs.
The decision comes as a relief for Phillips, who has faced ongoing legal challenges since 2012, when he first declined to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, citing his faith.

This isn't a final, decisive victory, but the fact that none other than the leftist Colorado Supreme Court actually threw the victory to the conservatives is a welcome turn.
Jack Phillips had suspended his wedding cake design business since these nuisance lawsuits started. Perhaps now he can get back to it.
“We reserve the right to refuse any service, for whatever reason we damn well please”.
“We reserve the right to refuse any service, for whatever reason we damn well please”.
I don’t think it works like like that anymore.
He should be able to counter sue these people for damages. This is clearly just harassment.
Set his price for these specialty cakes starting at $15,000 due to Bidenomics.
The left wants you to choose between your faith and your livelihood. I’m glad they lost this one.
Once again proving leftists trying to inflict pain through a corrupt government…this has nothing to do with equality but everything to do with “we will destroy you”.
First they came for the…….
A clever lawyer could force quite a bit of out-of-court settlement income by offering not to go to trial with discovery possibilities. And it would be -- like cake -- delicious.
Lawfare
We should be able to be compensated for thes frivolous lawsuits
Get soemone else to make your damn demonic cake
Anti-Christian. I’ve said along there are a multitude of Anti- Christs working for the top Anti-Christ
Is this insane couple still together ? LOL
This case was over that insane cross-dressing man wanting a “transgender” cake made in two colors.
The two fags in the previous case got handed their asses several years ago.
How much money did this poor baker have to shell out to defend himself against this lawsuit. This should be cause for a countersuit to recover his costs and discourage this kind of stupid abuse of the legal system.
From what I read elsewhere, this doesn’t end it and he’s still able to be frivolously sued be this trans freak.
The second lawsuit was filed by a lawyer, Autumn Scardina, who I believe was “trans”, and wanted to harass Mr. Phillips.
This could be an actionable offense.
Some legal wizard needs to file a pro bono action against the harassing lawyer on behalf of Mr. Phillips. I don’t believe Mr. Phillips wants to continue the legal battles however. He appears to be a kind and forgiving man.
On the other hand this harassment by mutilated folks has to be stopped. From what I know. , a lawyer can not threaten anyone with a lawsuit. They cannot file a frivolous lawsuit on their own behalf(someone else...ok, but not for themselves). If found guilty of threatening, and/or filing a frivolous case, the harassing lawyer needs to be disbarred, and pay all financial damages incurred , and punitive damages to Mr. Phillips and all legal entities involved in this matter. IMHO.
At present the US state-run leftist law fare gulag is the court system.
Solzhenitsyn only spent 8 years in the Soviet gulag, Philips spent 12 years in ours.
And like its predecessor, our is also designed to humiliate you publicly, bankrupt you, and destroy your mental and physical health
Leftists still win by calling this a “religious” argument.
Not interacting with perverts, criminals or anyone you don’t want to has nothing to do with religion.
