The left just throws crap until they get a corrupt liberal judge.

#4: "This is the fault of the SCOTUS itself."

You are absolutely right. There are some good people on the Supreme Court but as a whole they have been sniveling cowards, afraid to set precedent. They take cases and rule very narrowly, essentially wasting everybody's time.

Now that we are getting more conservatives on the court, that will probably change. But we are still stuck with John Roberts who was born without a spine.

It would be difficult or impossible to prove to a legal standard, but I am 100% sure that there was collusion between the tranny attorney and some of the commission members in the planning and execution of this intimidation.

A copy of what I had posted some time back about a barber being sued by a woman for not giving her a haircut.

Notice the line of progression for these ‘fringe people’ and their interaction with society at large.

1) Stop persecuting, stop prosecuting us.
2) Leave us in peace as we are not harming you.
3) We have a right to do our thing in private.
4) You have no right to oppress our rights.
5) You must accept our actions as it is our right to have these actions.
6) Acceptance is not enough, your children must be taught these rights.
7) We must be able to force acceptance as civil rights.
8) You have no right to deny us even if it violates your rights.
9) We are on top now, grovel to our victimhood!

The Democrats won’t disband it because they’ve weaponized it.

The only way to really put this to an end is with old fashioned Western justice.

When the perverted Democrats run out of people willing to work on this political hit squad then it’ll end.

This is the fault of the SCOTUS itself.

After they made their decision in favor of the Christian Baker, I thought it was a Pyrrhic Victory as they only addressed an issue related to THAT PARTICULAR CASE but did not make it a BASIC First Amendment related decision applicable to all religious businessmen.

As someone posted elsewhere, Other than in the concurrence by Gorsuch and Alito, the Court focused on the Commission’s overt anti-religious bias during the state hearing, not on the core issue of whether the baker had the first amendment right to refuse service.

If the SCOTUS did that, it would have been applicable to ALL religious businesses -— Bakers, Florist, Photographers, Lodge Owners, etc . . .

Justice Kennedy is also at fault here. This could have been a broader ruling as I stated above, however, Kennedy was unwilling to join it. So, Chief Justice Roberts could only get a majority by limiting the decision to the issue of bias at the hearing.

But Kennedy is retired now . . .
I fail to see what good can come of this, other than liberal spite, for the increasingly poorly named Colorado Civil Rights Commission. What can get a broader decision at the SCOTUS any faster than them going after him like this? - jyo19
Exactly. If Kavanaugh is an improvement on Kennedy . . .

Aubrey Elenis needs to be introduced to Rule .308.

I read Atlas Shrugged three times before I finally gave it to a friend to read.

I'm going to have to buy another copy to read it again.

I read somewhere that Atlas Shrugged is the second most read book behind the Bible.

Who is John Galt?

” I find it interesting that no gay couple has asked a Muslim bakery to bake a cake. “


That is because Satan is not against Islam.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Seriously, does the commission and the gay rights community really want to go there?

Odds are by the time this case works its way back to the Supreme Court, the court will be far more conservative than the one who ruled narrowly for Masterpiece Cake this summer, they may very well find themselves in a worse situation than they are now.

He should file suit to suspend or disbar Autumn Scardina for misconduct. If Scardina contacted the man in order to harass him and relitigate him, that’s serious misconduct.

This is an election year which could be the last poke in the eye of conservatives if a Gop wins.

I find it interesting that no gay couple has asked a Muslim bakery to bake a cake.

Actually, they did, and the state of colorado supported the muslim bakery. This was mentioned in the supreme court's ruling as an example of how capricious the state was being in their persecution of Jack Phillips.

“would have closed the shop and gone away the first time they told me that I had to do something that was against my beliefs and values.”

I swear that just reading your post made me dumber than before. What a cheese-eating-surrender-monkey attitude.

“In a somewhat strange development, the probable cause finding reads that Phillips violated state law, even though the proceedings are still in a preliminary stage. “ Major mis-step by the “Civil Rights Commission” which has already been admonished by the Scotus once.
