RUFKM? Judge orders Colorado Cake Maker to serve gay couples

[roberth]

I wonder if he'll just close his bakery.

Dave Mulling and Charley Craig sought Masterpiece out specifically because they knew he wouldn't do what they wanted, there are plenty of bakeries that would have made them a cake. Then they found a judge who does not believe in the rule of law and ran their game. This was a setup from the get-go.

Welcome to the new normal where you work hard, open your own business and the state tells you who your customers are. I wonder if the judge is going to set the pricing too.

Come on, they are not FFLs.

My initial impression is that I understand their big picture, to reduce/end discrimination against gays, but it seems counter-productive to force an artist to participate involuntarily, not giving their best results, when there are plenty of other service/product providers who would rather have your business.

I wonder what the reaction would be if the shoe was on the other foot; say, if a religious group approached a gay owned video production company with the intent to produce an anti-gay message. Based on Volokh's writings, it looks like they would be required, under this ruling, to produce that message.

Good one, and good point. Whatever business you have, especially if you're a Republican/Conservative/Christian, you are now a target. The IRS, the bank, the EPA, the gay agenda, the VA, all those factions are out actively hunting you for the slightest infraction.

That is a good question, maybe someone will test it.

Stop the ride, I want off.......

You can check out any time you like,
but you can never leave.

This ride is just getting started.

Even when he's gone it's still not going to fix it... Remember, you don't mess with the gay mafia, they'll ruin your life. I'm actually more afraid of angry, litigious homosexuals (and offending their delicate sensibilities) than I am of the bloods, the crips, the hell's angels, etc. The ride will only get worse, and I have a feeling Chik-fil-A and Hobby Lobby are next.

The store is right around the corner from me so daughter and I stopped in yesterday to pick up some goodies and show support. They are all in very good spirits and when I told them we'd be back in a few weeks for Ava's birthday cake she told me to plan ahead more then normal.

The he phone was ringing off the hook the entire time we were there and she said they are so busy from supporters they are running much longer than normal timelines.

I doubt they they will close but I have heard they won't make wedding cakes anymore. I didn't ask about that specifically when I was there but I'm glad to see them thriving.

Good to hear...thanks

I always stop by there and get a treat when I'm at Green Mountain Guns...throw some dough in the pot too for their legal expenses.

These are good people getting jacked around by a couple of open sores and POS judge.

Since when does one select their own judge?
