Yep, just like an African American cake shop owner should not be forced to make a cake with racist language on it.
Just wait until someone refuses to bake a cake for a jewish couple because they are Christian and uses this as an excuse. Even worse, when someone uses this to refuse to bake a cake for an interracial couple.
As Sotomayor said in her dissent, "the law in question targets conduct, not speech, for regulation, and the act of discrimination has never constituted protected expression under the First Amendment."
I stand corrected.
Protected classes have always been excluded as a reason. If you open that pandora's box, where does it stop? Can a for profit university refuse to admit a lesbian because they are gay? What about an African American because they are black? What about a doctor's office? Should they be able to refuse to treat a muslim? What about a hospital? They are a for profit business. Where does that stop?
So you are ok with a hospital (which most towns only have one) being able to refuse service to someone who is gay, black, jewish, or whatever? Hospitals are a for profit business.
False. If they are govt subsidized then they can’t do that. If they are a private university or hospital (most aren’t, most all take govt money) then yes they can, it’s a PRIVATE business.
Many towns don't have the options that larger cities do. I know many small towns that only have one clinic. There are protected classes for a reason.
Poor Curtis. You had to take this one without any lube.
And once again she is horrifically wrong.
You are missing the forgiveness and salvation message of Jesus. Kind of a key part, most would think.
Bad guess, assuming that was directed toward me. Nevertheless, I am forgiven for my sins.
Except this ruling opens the door to deny service for any held discriminatory belief. It can be applied to non religious beliefs as well. A Christian can argue that their beliefs go against Jewish beliefs so they shouldn't have to do bake a cake, make a website, or whatever for a Jewish couple.
You say so. Many actual experts say she isn't. Who knew you were a constitutional law scholar?
and the 6 are conservative activists that wear a black robe...we can do this all day.
No they follow the rule of law and the Constitution…. Sotomayor and her ilk decide the desired outcome beforehand and then use whatever tortuous logic is necessary to justify the decision. Nice try tho
As does Sotomayor... Just because you like the way the 6 intepretation of the constitution but not Sotomayor doesn't mean they do things any differently. Again, we can do this all day. Nice try tho
Will it though? Do you think SCOTUS would actually rule in favor of that baker?
“Many actual experts” you hear that on CNN ?
