Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, called the high court’s decision not to hear the case “deeply disturbing.”

The Supreme Court only hears a small amount of cases. I am anxiously waiting on Holly Lobby….I hope they vote right on this one. That could be the most important case of the year.

Wait....while Hobby Lobby is indeed important, you don't think a case where a person chooses NOT to do business with another party because of their beliefs isn't?

This is a hell of a lot more important than the healthcare law. This is an outright rejection of the First Amendment!

People need to just say they can’t fit the job into their schedule from now on there is no need to elaborate by pointing out a religious problem.

So much for there being three branches of government. The Judicial branch doesn't count when it punts on something this important.

There was once a colony where they hated rule by men instead of by law so much that they revolted against the most powerful empire on earth and suffered along until they won. I'm gonna look up the name of that country and see if there's anything those of us living in the US of Authoritarian could learn from those people.

"People need to just say they can’t fit the job into their schedule . . . "

Yeah, forget the First Amendment and all the freedom crap, just make an excuse the Queer Mafia will accept for a while and when they stop accepting that excuse, make up another.

That whole, Bill of Rights thing is sooo last century anyway.

I hear you brother.

Those of us with threads on the head thought they were serious about the, "die on you feet instead of living on your knees", stuff but apparently that was just a marketing slogan to get a few dimwits like me to do the dirty work back in the day.

Semper Fi

Before jumping to conclusions... is this one of those cases that tries to “fast track” past the normal appeals process and go straight to the USSC? Looking at the article, I don’t see one federal appeals court listed - is it not customary for a case to go through there District and Circuit courts before the USSC, except for very rare situations?

If so, I can see the USSC declining without comment and letting the lower courts tackle it first.

Clever, but I’m sure their religious beliefs also preclude lying.

She looks like a sweet young lady who simply loves God and photography. The perfect prey for the Godless and cowardly gay agenda.

Or maybe it depends on emphasis: "I can't fit you into my schedule." :-)

Do they ever comment if it’s just a matter of referring a case to a lower appeals court? I guess that’s the question.

Fear of the Gay Mafia reaches deep into the chambers of the nation’s Highest Court.

Or, that the ruling in Hobby Lobby’s case would similarly affect this one.

In the meantime photogs are just going to have to accept the jobs but have “car trouble” and miss the actual appointment.
