    Supreme Court tosses ruling against bakers who refused cake for gay couple

    Another case tossed back to the lower court for reconsideration in light of the Colorado ruling.

    Supreme Court tosses ruling against bakers who refused cake for gay couple

    The Supreme Court on Monday threw out a ruling against two Oregon bakers who refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple.

    The couple, Melissa and Aaron Klein, cited religious beliefs as their reason for not providing services for a gay wedding. This touched off the latest in a series of such cases making headlines in recent years. During the court's last term, justices ruled in favor of a Colorado baker in a similar situation, stating that a state body demonstrated improper hostility toward the baker's religion in finding that he violated a state anti-discrimination law.

    On Monday, the Supreme Court sent the Klein case back down to a lower court "for further consideration in light of" their Colorado decision.

    The central disputes in the case -- which pits LGBT rights against religious freedom considerations -- have yet to be addressed by the Supreme Court.

    A similar case involving Washington state florist Baronelle Stutzman previously was sent back so the state court could review its decision against Stutzman in light of the Colorado case. The Washington court upheld its decision, and the case is expected to go back before the Supreme Court once more....

    Pity that the victims won't insist on using the Thirteenth Amendment as additional cover in their arguments.

    People have a right to say "no".

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    It was decided correctly to start with............F'ers! Go get your cake elsewhere and stop with the silly attacks based on ramming your lifestyle down other peoples throats. This is the attack on religion. It has nothing to do with a cake and never did. This is more ACLU silly $#@! type stuff.

    I will add that religion should attack either. Mind your business live your life.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    It signals to me that SCOTUS hasn't figured out this balancing act yet.

    How so? What do you mean?

    I see it as a conservative court taking small steps and telling lower courts to get with it. It will take time but be more effective than taking the liberal leaps of the 60s.

    No balancing act, no.

    A business owner should and must be free to do business with -- or in this case serve -- whomever he/she wants. The only exception that I would make would be in a case where whatever it is the business is selling/serving is a necessary item and is not readily available elsewhere to the customer.

    A cake isn't even in the ballpark.

    And then the Rodents steal the 2020 election and snipers take out Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. .

    I for one am sick and tired of this plague of Homophobic Bakers we have in this country. It is a threat to our democracy and must be confronted at all costs. It is going to damage our standing the world. Will China be able to take a nation with so many Homophobic Bakers seriously?

    It is a national security issue at its core!

    The courts should have no role to play. This is a legislative issue.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    This whole court stuff is silly to begin with. None of this really has a basis on the Constitution or peoples rights, the only thing that matters is if you get a judge with a leftist bias or a judge with a bias towards the right. The whole thing is a facade based on a particular "interpretation" based on political bias.
