Judge bans business owners from stating Christian beliefs
WND.com ^ | 11/2/19 | Bob Unruh

A federal judge has affirmed a Colorado law that effectively bans business owners from freely expressing in public their religious beliefs about marriage and homosexuality.

Colorado was the loser in a similar dispute, the Masterpiece Cakeshop case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the state show "hostility" to the Christian beliefs of Jack Phillips in its handling of his refusal to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. Since then, openly homosexual Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has pursued a gay-rights agenda that includes allowing people to indicate their sex on driver's licenses according to their "gender identity" and banning counselors from helping young people who want to rid themselves of same-sex attractions.

Now, Judge Marcia Krieger has upheld a Colorado law that barred web designer Lorie Smith and her studio 303 Creative "from publicly expressing the religious reasons she declines" to promote same-sex marriage.

Smith, defended by the Alliance Defending Freedom, filed the lawsuit against members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and Aubrey Elenis, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

I think the term “hanging judge” needs a new primary meaning.

More judicial legislation.

Time to remove these ‘judges’ from the bench, one way or another...

Impeach this judge immediately - this is in direct violation of the first amendment.

War is coming.

his refusal to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. Not true. He reused to decorate the cake in a CB pro gay marriage fashion. He was willing to sell the cake and let them decorate it as the pleased.

First Amendment to the United States Constitution Constitutional Amendment adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws which respect an establishment of religion, prohibit the free exercise of religion, or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.

“Sounds unconstitutional to me.”

It absolutely is. This Judge just single handedly amended the Constitution.

Are there any cases of ultra orthodox Islamic bakers that have declined to bake a wedding cake that openly celebrates a gay marriage? It would be interesting to see what would happen if this issue came up in Dearborn, Michigan, or in Denver, Colorado.

Marcia Krieger is a Smirking Chimp [Dubya] judge who appears to have "grown in office", as the Lefty Media puts it.

She was confirmed by the Senate 83-0, which tells you that she was acceptable to the Lefties, unlike Trump's judges.

Funny how many of the Chimpster's judges have "grown in office"...  thinking face

Yep. But it’s always good to see who’s on what side.

ll businesses should not only ignore the ruling but also positively flout it by putting up credos on their walls and stating hostility to the QWERTY goals to each customer at checkout.

This not only needs to be overturned but this “judge” needs to be penalized. That ruling is the type that first year law students already know is in error before they even start school.

He proves my hypothesis...faggots think funny...their minds are as twisted as their sexual choices.
