Nancy Pelosi on Supreme Court Ruling: Bake That Cake, Christians!
brietbart ^ | 06/04/2018 | Joel B Pollak

Posted on 06/05/2018 5:19:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Would-be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed Monday’s 7-2 Supreme Court ruling in the Masterpiece Bakeshop case, attacking “discriminatory practices behind the guise of religious liberty.” The Court found in favor of a Colorado baker who was sued when he declined to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage because of his Christian beliefs. The baker asserted his religious liberty under the First Amendment.

The decision avoided ruling on the broader question of whether religious liberty trumps non-discrimination on the basis of sexuality, and held only that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had not given the baker a fair hearing.

Still, Pelosi made clear that she found any defense of religious liberty intolerable. Her full statement is as follows:

The Masterpiece Cakeshop case is about the most fundamental right of all Americans: to be free from persecution and discrimination because of who they are or whom they love. While narrowly framed to apply to the decision-making process undertaken by the state commission, today’s wrongheaded decision fails to uphold equality in this case.

Indeed he did offer to bake them a cake for their union. They were regular customers. He just declined the artistic part of decorating said cake.

From my post yesterday and I’m sure the examples could go on and on...

From the article - “The fact is, nondiscrimination laws were never meant to compel the creation of art or expression in violation of one’s conscience.”

Should a Christian painter or photographer be required to paint or photograph an act of homosexual sodomy?

Should a Muslim artist be required to depict Allah with a turban made out of a bomb?

Should a homosexual writer be required to write an article supporting the religious condemnation of sodomy and a homosexual lifestyle?

NO I suppose not. SCOTUS (rightfully) chose wisely. Any other decision would open flood gates from hell.

Your 1st Amendment rights can not and will never TRUMP mine. What you ‘want’ from me is irrelevant.

No one has the right to take away from me what my morals tell me is righteous in my life.

If you think you do, YOU ARE WRONG. Then I also choose to exercise my right of free assembly with whomever I choose, and I specifically choose not to associate with you.

GO AWAY from my private property or the Castle Doctrine will be enforced by me and my 2nd Amendment right.

Did I mention that what ever you ‘want’ from me is totally irrelevant.

“to be free from persecution”

Christians need not apply.

What? Pelosi thinks her opinion is above the SC? She has another think coming.

...GO home Nancy and take up gardening or something you MIGHT be good at. You wouldn’t even need to by fertilizer, you already have plenty.

He declined to use his artistic talents to design a cake ...

I was wondering if this was that court case. That particular specific is now left out of LSM reports on the story.

Still, Pelosi made clear

That would be the first time for her this year. Things aren't coming out too clearly.

“Still, Pelosi made clear that she found any defense of religious liberty intolerable.”

And yet, she still considers herself a Catholic, and her church doesn’t kick her out. I guess the Catholic Church is back to the practice of “selling indulgences!”
So much for “organized religions” standing up for the basic tenets of their faiths.
They are happy to take your money, then look the other way.

Not quite correct. He declined to use his artistic talents to design a cake for a gay wedding.

Good thing he doesn't build houses. Then you have the whole illegal workers thing thrown into the mix.

And yet she still preens as a “Catholic” and the allegedly devout vote for her...
