‘All Americans are entitled to due process, with a fair hearing before an unbiased tribunal. The Kleins never received that,’ said Stephanie Taub, Senior Counsel for First Liberty.
GRESHAM, Oregon (LifeSiteNews) — The Christian bakers who were slammed with fines and ultimately lost their business after they refused to bake a cake for a gay “wedding” are once more bringing their case before the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing the state violated their due process and First Amendment rights.
The Supreme Court had previously reviewed the case in 2019 before remanding it to a lower court.
Attorneys with the public interest law firm First Liberty Institute announced Wednesday that they submitted a petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the petition, the attorneys asked the Court to review Melissa and Aaron Klein’s case stemming from a 2013 discrimination lawsuit.
“All Americans are entitled to due process, with a fair hearing before an unbiased tribunal. The Kleins never received that,” said Stephanie Taub, Senior Counsel for First Liberty.
“We hope the Court will hear the Kleins’ case and clarify that all Americans have a constitutional right to due process, free speech, and religious liberty.”
The Kleins, Christian parents of five children, launched their “Sweet Cakes by Melissa” bakery in 2007 in Gresham, Oregon just east of Portland.

I thought they were just awarded $31m (??) about a week ago to settle the suit by Oberlin.
Wrong Bakery
A different case. The Oberlin case had nothing to do with Christians refusing to participate in a Sodomite celebration . The Oberlin/Gibson case had to do with the Oberlin leadership attacking a local bakery because they had the temerity to stop some black skinned shoplifters (who attended Oberlin).
The Klein case 'Sweet Cakes by Melissa' was probably one of the first attacks on Christian service providers (bakers, florists, photographers, etc). They not only were attacked by the Sodomite lobby, but also by the Sodomite supporting Oregon government officials. I hope the Kleins win this case. It has been dragging on for nearly 10 years. And they, so far, have lost most of the challenges in Oregon.
Different case
Continuing in prayer for the Kleins.
Amen

I hope everyone realizes that the “fine” was not issued by a court of law after a trial. These are administrative ‘laws.” not lawfully enacted or implemented.
So do these people get a queer lawyer to sue bakers like this who doesn’t charge them for the cost of the lawsuit while the poor baker must lay out $$$ to defend denying request?
