Sotomayor blasts court in scathing dissent on same-sex wedding case
The Hill ^ | 06/30/2023 | ELLA LEE

Posted on 06/30/2023 8:06:05 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to back a Christian wedding website designer’s choice not to provide services to gay couples, calling the decision “profoundly wrong” in a scathing dissenting argument read from the bench.

“Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class,” Sotomayor wrote.

The associate justice harkened back to the civil rights and women’s rights movements in her dissent, suggesting that in recent years, gender and sexual orientation minority groups have faced “backlash to the movement for liberty and equality.”

Let her assume the old mantle of “The Great Dissenter” and see what kind of a reputation she can construct for herself while having no responsibility for fashioning workable tests for constitutionality, or reasonable schemes for balancing conflicting rights and interests (i.e., the burden of the majority and especially the justice authoring the majority opinion).

Black owner in the south, clan member comes in and demands service re Clan related materials

WAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh suck on reality you insane person. Favoritism is not allowed in a Justice system.

You can’t force compliance with whims, this is the equivalent to forcing me to send my crew to paint your house, when I don’t want to deal with you.

This is a great day, because a business is not a government entity. Now get back to letting individuals have bars and restaurants that disallow certain people because of their behavior.

The entire premise of her “argument” is wrong.
This is likely the least qualified person ever to serve on the Supreme Court.
She’s an absolute embarrassment and constitutional illiterate.

I am old enough to remember watching the SC hearings for Clarence Thomas, and during them develop a deep and abiding loathing of the Democrat Senator who did his utmost to destroy Thomas’s reputation and keep him off the SC bench:
Joe Biden!

Absolutely yes.

Protected class? Really? What a moron she is. What actual protections does this class enjoy that are enumerated in The Constitution? Surely she knows that the USSC is tasked with interpreting that documemt. Doesn't she?

I think that the discussion around the cake making, and also wedding photography is off base. It is assumed that these are public accommodations. As far as I’m concerned, they aren’t.

They aren’t like buses or public restrooms, for which there is no alternative, and where the issue is like service for all. They are being asked to perform a custom service for which there are alternative providers. To my mind, that’s different.

Sotomayor is the “token diversity pick,” she knows it, and it will dominate the landscape of her psyche forever.

A totally incompetent justice who couldn’t find the YS Constitution if she tripped over it in the park
