DENVER (CBS4)– The Colorado Supreme Court decided to let an appellate court ruling that a bakery violated the state’s anti-discrimination law when it turned away a gay couple stand by refusing to hear the case.

On Monday, the state Supreme Court let the lower court ruling stand.

Attorneys for Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, filed the appeal last fall. They argued the government shouldn’t force Phillips to violate his Christian beliefs.

What they really did, is without authority redefined marriage. That is illegal...all this bullshit excuse they come up with is not logical in a legal or ethical sense. They knew this would result in persecution of Christians.

However, what is most important is it was a real poke at God’s eye...and that is why our nation is dead.

The government did.

The churches didn’t change where they were, at least nominally; however they might have leaned on Caesar rather than on the bible. Setting themselves up for a spiritual prat fall.

No, a dead government doesn’t have to mean a dead citizenry. The idea that the government ever had to make the citizenry spiritually alive is itself a fallacy.

It’s as free as it wants to lean on God to be.

I sure hope that, like our parents always told us, just because our friends jump off a bridge, we won’t do so personally too.

Why do we have to act like we are glued at the hip to Caesar? God hates that. The people can and should declare spiritual independence from Caesar. Caesar can annoy but Caesar can never steal the people’s soul nor is he expected to uphold the people’s soul.

on a side note IMO Ali could have used the Equal Protection clause to refuse to enter the Draft since women are exempt.

As a former citizen of Colorado, I did. Colorado is Californicated beyond all repair.

it will end up with the Supremes where they’ll be backed into a corner.

Ha! They'll just declare that the complainant has no standing.

“On to the Supremes!”

That’s where it’s going.

“”The Colorado Supreme Court decided to let an appellate court ruling that a bakery violated the state’s anti-discrimination law when it turned away a gay couple stand by refusing to hear the case””

Is it part of journalism school to write such convoluted sentences? Reading most articles anymore gives me a headache - reading them over and over trying to make sense of them. AND after all that, I find it wasn’t even worth reading to begin with...

Anyone with a service dog who gets turned away by a Muslim cab driver needs to use this as precedent to sue that cab company to the ground.

And it started with federal contracts preferencing LBGTA owners and companies with high scores on the “Out and Equal Index”.
That’s why you see so many big companies parroting the far left sexual identity crap - they’ve been socially engineering the work force for years (since 2008) in the competition for federal grants and contracts.
The difference is that you’re now seeing smaller and conservative businesses pressured by big customers and suppliers as well as social groups to adopt these attitudes.

It’s more than just the religious clause being stomped on here.

No one should be compelled to create art. These are custom made cakes, not merely a pre-made commodity. I don’t think someone should be legally compelled to create a Christian religious themed cake either.

It was the committee or whatever, not the court, as I recall. The same tier 1 legal entity though.
