Colorado has a law on the books that says, in simple terms, a business open to the public can’t discriminate against gay people.
The radical right-wing majority of the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling last week saying that, yes, it can.
The court took the side of a web designer in Colorado who said it was her First Amendment right to refuse to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.
Arizona has a law much like Colorado’s.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced in no uncertain terms that her office is determined to enforce it.
The Supreme Court be damned.

Political belief is not a protected class
Wonder why…hmmmm…
This is what Democrats do. They ignore laws that they don’t want to follow and never face any consequences.
Haven't you been paying attention? Elections are meaningless in AZ. They just create however many cheat-by-mail-in ballots they need to put the Democrat ahead, and some goon at a computer takes less than 3 seconds to click 'next' in order to 'verify' the signatures of over 100,000 of these 'ballots.'
“The Supreme Court be damned.”
Democrats are not going to give up their above the law privilege’s until the law makes it’s move and it will.
"Oh, that's different."
This from a "news" outlet. A declarative politicized statement. Tells you all you need to know about the MSM these days.
Yep, I stopped reading at that statement.
This Katy Hoggs regime is Janet Napolitano Part Deux.

Nothing like a puke opinion piece disguised as a news article.
Already happened. Ask yourself why a massively large organization like the NRA doesn’t have an affinity credit card anymore.
The Democrats have started their assuming total control of the country. Their motto is: We don’t need no steenkin Judicial Branch. As long as they have the White House and US Senate and have pens and phones and a veto proof Congre$$ do what we wish without fear of any pushback.
BEST explanation in a very long time.
THANK YOU.
No Controlling Legal Authority!
Let me guess.....either SHE’S a Lesbian or one of her kids are GAY or TRANS!
That “attorney general” should be removed and disbarred from the practice of law.
If this is allowed, we can also ignore Supreme Court decisions, so they won’t be happy.
That’s legal. You don’t have to do business with people you abhor politically. Where have you been the last 10 years?
"Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced in no uncertain terms that her office is determined to enforce it."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
How did Kris Mayes get through all her schooling, seemingly without learning about the 14th Amendment (14A) limits on state powers?
Excerpted from 14A:
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
On second thought, forget that question.
After all, federal lawmakers have the power to enforce Section 1, they likewise act like 14A doesn't exist either.
In fact, federal lawmakers wrongly ignored (imo) Section 2 of the 14th Amendment when they voted to ignore allegations of vote-counting fraud on J6, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]".
With Section 2 in mind, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage southern Democrats (my word) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, and now 2022 elections!
"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives
Regarding 2024 elections, let's at least not be fooled a third time.
It's up to Democratic and Republican patriots to initiate the final stage of Trump 47's second term mission to finish draining the swamp by primarying as many of our beloved state and federal lawmakers and executives as we can.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
In fact, given that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the unconstitutionally big federal government to dictate domestic policy is to run the Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers), the worst problem that the peacetime country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of freshman lawmakers is a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
Trump can endorse candidates that Constitution-savvy patriots recommend as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Pretty soon, you have a choice, conform or starve…there aren’t enough deer to feed us all. That’s when the new reality will be crystal clear to everyone.
What better time to show contempt for Constitution (especially the 1st Amendment) than right around Independence Day. After all the philosophy of the Declaration birthed the governance of the Constitution.
The court did not find in favor of businesses refuses service to people protected by anti-discrimination laws. Simple transactions of goods for pay don’t involve the government compelling a person to use their creative expression to produce art/speech/writing that violates their conscience. That difference is lost on the ign’t Left.
