Masterpiece (Phillips) wins USSC case!
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/04/supr...s-reasons.html
CNBC tries to lie and say it was narrow. But it was 7-2!!!!!
Quote:
The Supreme Court on Monday handed a narrow victory to a Christian baker from Colorado who refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
The justices, in a 7-2 decision, faulted the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's handling of the claims brought against Jack Phillips, saying it had showed a hostility to religion. In doing so, the commission violated his religious rights under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The butthurt is going to be strong on this one. It isn't going to be so much about the poor repressed gays as it is the Constitution still meaning what it plainly says.
I hope Phillips also wins a significant civil case against the state.
Indeed, the fact that Kennedy, Breyer, and Kagan voted to uphold the Constitution is big. As expected, Ginsberg and Sotomayor were doctrinaire liberals, forget their oaths or the actual words of the Constitution or English language.

Go figure, USA Today also lied and said the ruling is on narrow grounds -- the First Amendment and right to genuine religious convictions is NOT a narrow ground.
Hooray for rights! Only cost the guy an unknown amount of money in lost revenue and who knows how much in legal fees, pain and suffering, mental anguish, etc.
Good.
This will make the snowflakes melt a bit[Muaha]
Let then eat cake......NOT!
Surprising verdict. Glad it went that way.
I still believe this was never about the cake. I think These two guys picked that shop based on the knowledge Jack wouldn’t make them a cake.
I’m incredibly surprised but pleased. If I was still back in CO I’d hit up his shop and buy something today.
Good, if they don't make cakes for gays don't buy from them and STFU, simple as that.
Thank you all. This group is the place that alerts me to things otherwise lost in the MSM. I watched the new this weekend, saw the FBI video on channel. Didn't hear anything of this.
Good for him winning.
There's hope yet...
if y'all want a less biased write up on the decision (or just don't want to give hits to the leftist media websites)
