...as it should. No one has to serve someone they do not want to or feel it is against heir belief.

The Gay Marriage Ruling Supports the Baker
By Tom Trinko
When the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was not only legal but mandated by the Constitution, the majority were declaring that the Constitution meant whatever the majority of the Supreme Court wanted it to mean. It was an exercise is pure totalitarianism and a rejection of the very idea that power flows from the people.

Nonetheless, because of a desire to cover judicial overreach with sophistries that the elite leftist media could use to confuse the people as to just how much the people’s freedom was eroded by the Court’s capricious decision, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the following, gaining the concurrence of five other member sof the Court:

Under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, no State shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The fundamental liberties protected by this Clause include most of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. See Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145, 147–149 (1968). In addition these liberties extend to certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy, including intimate choices that define personal identity and beliefs. See, e.g., Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U. S. 438, 453 (1972); Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U. S. 479, 484–486 (1965).

The Court has used similar language in previous decisions, including this quote from an abortion decision:

At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life

The intent of both of these quotes was to declare that the individual’s right to define who they are and what they believe overrides cultural norms and the democratic process, in the case of gay marriage, and science, in the case of abortion....

Yeah, I hear reports it looks to be leaning that way by Kennedy.

Hopefully it is a narrowly constructed decision that marks the line between point of sale commodity items and contracted items.
 
It does seem strange some believe that one right, not in the constitution but added by recent interpretation, takes precedent over another right actually stated in the constitution. The SCOTUS should back the baker.
