Finally! Supreme Court rules in favor of First Amendment rights for Christians etc.

[Foxfyre]

Comparing a same sex couple to the KKK is reprehensible

I agree and I didn't.

 

[Foxfyre]

Yet, in their other ruling they said that it is ok to be forced to accommodate something they may strongly disagree with.

What other ruling was that?

 

[Foxfyre]

If you stock white widgets you cannot sell them to whites and refuse to sell them to others

I agree and I have not argued that.

You really have problems focusing on what the topic is don't you?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

What other ruling was that?

The religious accommodation ruling

They are pissed because judges were literally there only option to promote their agenda.

Bingo! Dems could not muster the votes in congress so they did an end run around the American people by legislating from the bench. That has come to a stop.

 

[BluesLegend]

If a gay wants a website, cake, etc etc there are plenty of options.

The US (which doesn't include you) specifically says freedom of religion.

Deal with it...SCOTUS was correct...and stop targeting Christians like gays do trying to force acceptance

Dems can always amend the Constitution IF they can muster the votes for their depraved BS.

Fascism discriminates against minorities.

And the fascist will have a convincing argument to support the discrimination. Eventually there will be no minorities left to discriminate against.

Surely everyone has heard: .................. and then they came for me, and nobody was left................

Sadly, extreme right Americans are making the case against themselves.

Everyone discriminates against minorities including you.

Refusing to associate or do business with someone is not " coming for them "

You compeltely misuse the quote

What it means is that same sex couples can be denied wedding related services by bigoted Conservatives hiding under their Christianity.

No reception hall, invitations, cake, limo, hotel room ….…all in the name of Jesus

It means they now have the same rights as anyone else.

After all a gay wedding planner or whatever has every right to deny invitations cakes etc to christians

Great week for America.

1. We taxpayer don't have to pay back any student loans of people that were to sorry to get a good enough education to pay it back themselves.

2. Colleges now can't discriminate on race.

3. We now have the religious freedom to tell the queers to take their sicko filth elsewhere.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Judge Sotomayer specifically listed mix race marriage as a potential outcome of the decision

That's wonderful.

A SCOTUS judge prognosticating instead of ruling on the law.

Just freaking great.

 

[HikerGuy83]

3. We now have the religious freedom to tell the queers to take their sicko filth elsewhere.

I just don't get this kind of attitude.

You may not agree with people who are gay.

But I seriously doubt the Saviour of the world who says he loves all equally would use your terminology.

Then she’s an idiot.

Same sex marriage will be first

 

[schmidlap]

Only if Jesus tells him it is OK

According to some, Jay-suss indulges their various prejudices.

I can't find it anywhere in scripture, but they assure me that it's true.

 

[tahuyaman]

Same sex marriage is legal in this country
Public accommodation laws say you can’t discriminate because of race, religion or sexuality
If you are in business, you need to follow existing laws
If your religious beliefs get in the way, you should find another business

You can’t force people to violate their religious principles.

 

[tahuyaman]

Same sex marriage will be first

That’s an idiotic claim. Totally idiotic.

Where do you idiots come up with this stupid shit?

A wedding cake can be quite a bit more complicated than that though as in most cases it has to be set up and finishing touches put on at the venue where it will be served. So in that case you are requiring the baker to set up the cake in a venue which he disapproves, but his delivery truck will be parked outside for all to see, etc. etc.

I haven't made an argument ever whether the baker is right to refuse to do a gay wedding. Only that I believe that nobody should have to special order a product or participate in an event if he/she chooses not to do so.

Lorie Smith, the web designer, was the plaintiff challenging a lower court ruling. Apparently as the harmed party, she did have standing.

Actually, there was no complaining couple. The right wing set up a phony case to get it in front of the court without anyone arguing the other side.

So why not allow discrimination based on religion or race, under the same logic.

I don't know whether you know what you're talking about or not. I do know you're trying to change the topic from something it is not.

Tell that to Justice Thomas
