When you have 2 liberal justices voting with the majority, it isn’t a ‘narrow’ decision. It was a smack down.
Great news today!!
Why was Kennedy even allowed to touch this opinion as the author? What is wrong with Roberts?
True. But her lines of questioning have been bizarre for the most part.
He probably threatened to vote with the libtards if he didn’t get his way.
However, they can't force the owner to make the cake exactly how they want.
A gay couple can go to any cake shop and order a cake.
They can then take that cake and put the wedding figures of their choice on the cake.
It was!!!,.....7-2
Lying msm won’t admit it!
I hear ya, I thought I was a prodigy at 10, until I learned the adults I played just didn’t know how to play.
The BBC headline-take on this is:
“US Supreme Court Finds Against Gay Couple”
7-2 ain’t narrow. The gun decision was narrow. Very VERY narrow.
“Narrow” probably means they are limiting it to circumstances very, very similar to this specific case, i.e. maybe it only applies to cake bakers, or only people doing “messages”, or maybe only where the customer is offered a substitute product from the same place (i.e., too bad, photographers), or only where the state in question has its own contradictory rulings on the matter, etc. We’ll see the decision soon enough and then figure out what’s “narrow” about it.
The decision suggests that if the state can find a way to enforce their "anti-discrimination" laws without showing overt animus, they can enforce it.
That’s who I figured
I believe you are correct, but the media isn’t presenting it that way. They are playing with words to manipulate those that only read headlines.
“We need Kennedy to go and Trump to appoint another Gorsuch before we have a court that actually respects people of faith.”
Actually, Kennedy is just a starter. We need Ruthie, Breyer, and Sotominor to go too. An 8-1 Court would drive the Fat Yenta to resign early. And it needs to start early, because when Trump is a lame duck president, it will be too late. Just wish there was a way to declare the “Ruthie Fossil” incompetent and remove her from the Court, because she will, like an old buzzard stay perched on her fencepost until she falls off dead.
Two things:
1. This was anything but a narrow decision.
2. This is, as Joe Biden would say, “A big, f’n deal.”
My wife and I were going to get a wedding barn started on our property but this was holding us up. Not now.
It was 7-2. And it was a very very narrow decision. The basic tenet of the adminstration of laws is that a judge or board or commission must execute its discretion “reasonably” and the opinion concluded hat Phillips was denied the right to which he was entitled, “the neutral and respectful consideration of his claims in all the circumstances of the case.” The antireligious bias of the commission was evident in its findings.
That's not narrow. That's pretty specific if you ask me. That and 7-2, 6-2 whatever ... isn't narrow
Given the vote margin, I’m guessing “narrow”victory refers to the scope of the decision. I’ll read through it later.
