Supreme Court avoids lesbian wedding cake dispute, sending case to lower court
CBS News ^ | June 17, 2019

The Supreme Court is throwing out an Oregon court ruling against bakers who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

The justices' action Monday keeps the high-profile case off the court's election-year calendar and orders state judges to take a new look at the dispute between the lesbian couple and the owners of a now-closed bakery in the Portland area.

The case involves bakers Melissa and Aaron Klein, who paid a $135,000 judgment to the couple for declining to create a cake for them in 2013.

The justices already have agreed to decide whether federal civil rights law protects people from job discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

"The justices' action Monday keeps the high-profile case off the court's election-year calendar..."

Calling John Roberts! What does an "election year" have to do with justice? Just asking.

You’re reading what the media idiot wrote. John Roberts didn’t write that and neither did any member of the court. You are reading propaganda and buying into it hook, line, and sinker. You aren’t alone. Damn near everyone here is buying this BS. People need to gain some perspective and knowledge about how the court works, before going off half cocked.

Because Masterpiece was decided 7-2, apparently using it in this way was expedient.

Can anyone here imagine Obergefell being sent back to the appellate court to be reconsidered there?

No, me neither.

SCOTUS has turned into cowardice.

Of course not. Homosexuality had to be established as an absolute "constitutional" right.

Boy, there is going to be a "reset" coming to this country, and it is going to be a doozie. I suspect millions will die.
