Christian baker vindicated by SCOTUS back in court for not baking a gender transitioning cake
Washington Times ^ | August 15th 2018 | Alex Swoyer

The Christian baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple and was vindicated by the Supreme Court earlier this year is mounting another legal challenge this week after refusing to bake a gender-transitioning cake. Shortly after the Supreme Court ruled in June that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission discriminated against baker Jack Phillips for his religious beliefs, an attorney requested he create a cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside to represent a gender transition from male to female. As a Christian, Mr. Phillips would not make the cake since it conflicted with his beliefs, which was his same reasoning for refusing to bake the same-sex couple’s wedding cake. The state of Colorado has come after Mr. Phillips again, suggesting state law requires him to bake the gender change cake. It’s the newest complaint mounted against him, which has forced Mr. Phillips to file a federal lawsuit Tuesday. “The state of Colorado is ignoring the message of the U.S. Supreme Court by continuing to single out Jack for punishment and to exhibit hostility toward his religious beliefs,” said Kristen Waggoner, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty law firm defending Mr. Phillips.

THIS nonsense is why we need LOSER PAYS. See how quickly the frivolous lawsuits vanish if this becomes law.

Loser pays is a bad solution - it just means that the government and the deep pockets can outspend the little guy until they win.

I came across a recent court decision that had a discussion of why the U.S. legal system doesn't do "loser pays," and posted it here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3675016/posts.

I wonder if he could sub it out to another bakery who doesn’t care about the homo theme? They can’t force the guy to make the cake if he has someone else making it for the scumbag lawyer. If I made the cake they would never want to come to my bakery ever again.

You would think since these fags are so creative they could make their own cakes.. They can figure out how to get around the xy chromosome thingy so they should be able to figure out how to mix water and flour together.

Not just "loser pays". In that case, they would just pick somebody with no assets to be the plaintiff.

If the suit is deemed frivolous, make the losing side's LAWYER pay.

People celebrate this sort of thing with cake?

I would think sausages and tacos would be more appropriate.

Bake the cake and use alum instead of sugar.

“...an attorney requested he create a cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside to represent a gender transition from male to female. “

Are we certain this is harassment, or possibly a “friendly” attorney trying to get the precedent established that a tranny cake is just as much in violation of the baker’s rights as is a homo cake? I’ll be glad when the day returns that freaks and faggots don’t have to be tolerated in normal society. (I know, when pigs fly, right?)
