Seriously, RBG needs to retire. These judges are not here to make laws.

Off topic in a dead thread, but what does Ruth have to do with this one besides probably being one of the 4 against.  Not a big RBG fan but I didn't see her name mentioned.

She was one of the 4. She is a rogue judge. This decision is so simple it should have been another lopsided ruling.

This should have been a 9-0 vote. Holy shit...

“Sotomayor had expressed support for the state law during oral argument in February, noting some people viewed "Please I.D. Me" as a "highly charged political message ... intended to intimidate people to leave the polling booth."

Haha what a joke of a justice.

According to Christianity, it’s even more sinful to bake cakes for fat people since gluttony/fatness is one of the cardinal sins.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I say people should be together and there's not much point in marriage anyway.

Good. I absolutely dreaded that news about that florist who if I remember correctly got arrested because she refused to make a flower arrangement for a gay couple's wedding.

Hearing this is good news because not everyone shares what you believe in and should not forced into doing so.

Why didn't they just go to a different baker?

hmm, not sure what to think of this. On one hand businesses should have the right to choose what business they take, but on the other hand refusing customers due to their sexual orientation is not a good precedent.

I guess really it should depend on what the details were. ie. if they wanted a custom made cake then he should be well within his rights to refuse, but if they were just buying a regular cake from the menu or shop window or something then refusing that should be grounds for a discrimination case.

However disputes in political point of views is fine. The double standards that people put up is absolutely hilarious.

Not saying the business is wrong but both those who got denied should stop crying. Unless the goods or services you are availing of is monopolized and is something that is a matter of life and death then it's not really something you should worry about nor make a big deal of.

Slippery slope.

With this ruling and the recent refusal of service to Sarah Sanders, I feel that we're moving backwards. I'm black. My wife is white. What's to stop a restaurant from saying "Sorry. We don't serve interracial couples." What's to stop a store from saying "You blacks are nothing but trouble. I'm not selling you that gun."

This is not good. Not good at all. Even if I disagree with somebody's lifestyle choices, religion, political views, etc. I still feel that their rights should not be compromised.
