Supremes Rule In Favor Of Baker

[Billy_Kinetta]

AP is reporting that the SCOTUS has ruled in favor of the baker who would not bake a cake for a gay wedding. Links forthcoming.

This will have a massive effect.

It wasn't the act of baking a cake that was denied to a customer.

 

[Moonglow]

Local laws are local laws in some cases the court sides with the business and in some cases the customer.

Interesting. I think this is a good decision because few bakeries will turn down business for this reason. Gays don't need that protection as they are not at risk of not being able to have their cake.

A quick scan of it makes me think this isn't a 100% win for the baker. Their case goes back to the commission that made the original ruling, but the SC directs the commission they have to take into account the baker's religious beliefs, something they did not think the commission originally did.

7-2 decision.

I hope so. People have a right to be bigots if they wish.
PA laws are fascist bullshit.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court didn’t uphold liberty or the 1st Amendment in this case. What they essentially ruled on was that the process was “wrong” in this case against the baker.

Hopefully, citizens will continue to fight for our 1st Amendment rights until the Supreme Court does actually rule in favor of baker’s and other companies exercising their rights.

Yup. Those beliefs were discounted in the original case. Now the free exercise clause must be applied. It's quite a significant decision in the overall order of things.

That's fine....now let everyone know who a business will not serve.

As long as PA laws are gone for ALL instances. All instances.

Supreme Court rules narrowly for Colorado baker who wouldn't make same-sex wedding cake

The lyin' media calls a 7-2 decision "narrow"...



Here's your cake!

The owner offered to sell them other cakes, just not a wedding cake, I wonder if he does that to fornicators, adulterers or inter-racial relationships?

 

[Moonglow]

Religion is just another tool of discrimination.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The 7-2 ruling returns the case to the commission directing them to review and take into consideration the religious views of the baker.

The commission, apparently, did not take those views into consideration in the original ruling.

The original law probably did not require such consideration, but considering the 1st Amendment's protection of religious belief, the commission should have at least mentioned why they were giving the PA requirements preference.

The key is will the commission do the right thing, or double down on persecution.

This was never about point of sale items, as you are falsely implying. It was about a contracted service for an event the owner found to be immoral based on his beliefs.

All this does is make the commission take this into account, and not ignore it like they did previously.

Not much to the link. This has just happened.

5 or 6 year old case where Baker refused, on religious grounds and beliefs
that he wouldn't bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. SCOTUS
overruled all the other courts in this case.

Notice one thing about the link, which is from CNN. Their wording. "A narrow
decision." lol. In SCOTUS rulings 7-2 isn't narrow, it's a fucking rout.

The 7-2 ruling returns the case to the commission directing them to review and take into consideration the religious views of the baker.

Pretty much how i read it. It also goes into a lot of opinion of where the line is to be established.

I can see point of sale items being not covered under this, but contracted items covered in narrow situations, like a wedding ceremony.

This is huge. Up until this point this guy had lost every legal battle but he finally won in the Supreme Court. There is hope for this country.

I use that link because it was hilarious they said they ruled narrowly in favor. It was a 7-2 to vote it wasn't even close
