How nice. The Christians get punished with neverending legal costs while the USSC punts it.

First, Thomas was concurring, not dissenting, in Masterpiece Cakeshop. Second, the Supreme Court did nothing more than follow you standard procedure in Arlene's Flowers. It's called a GVR (Grant, Vacate, Remand). Basically, when it makes a decision any pending cases dealing with the same legal issue(s) have there lower court decision vacated (voided) and the case(s) are sent back to the lower court.

So Arlene's Flowers will go back to the court from which it originated so that court can review it in light of Masterpiece Cakeshop. Nothing unusual here.

Methinks SCOTUS is telling Washington court, “We’re watching you.”

The problem with the “Masterpiece Cake” ruling is that it implies that if they hadn’t outright called him a Nazi, ordering him to make the cake or shut down would have been upheld.

They could have just said the flower shop is covered by the baker decision. Why punt? It’s done!

SCOTUS did the same thing in Caetano v Massachusetts,a 2nd Amendment case from 2016.They told the Massachusetts courts to reconsider their decision in light of Heller v District of Columbia.And the Massachusetts courts responded by striking down the legislation they had previously upheld,which denied Caetano her basic Constitutional rights.

There is no such effing thing as "gay rights!"

What these SODOMITES want is special rights, that are set apart and above every other citizen.

If I, as a bartender and proprietor of a bar, have reserved to me the right to refuse service to anyone - and such right to this day stands unchallenged in the courts - ten the same legal reasoning applies to EVERY other business.

Under the Constitution, no private individual or government entity can force another individual to act against their will. You may only prohibit those actions that threaten public safety, peaceful order, or life and property.
