  • Supreme Court: Gay Vs. Religious Rights

    The Court is going to jump in...

    Interesting. The Court isn't renowned for 'jumping in' but it does appear they are more active here.

      If they hold to existing case decisions, the baker is going to lose.

        If they are likely to hold the existing precedent they aren't likely to take the case.

          I think the difference here is that the bakery doesn't actually make "specialty cakes" for anyone, if I remember what I read about it a while back. That may be the difference...

            Right, the lower courts ruling would have remained. This may be good...

                  Oh man - I had a lemon and poppy seed wedding cake once that was the BEST cake i ever ate.

                  I'd get married just for that cake!

                    The typical religioso is never content with simply his own civil rights. No, he is not happy unless he is denying another person their rights as well.

                      Never content with denying my own civil rights, I recognize that my religion forces me to deny the civil rights of everyone else, too.

                              Then you agree with the cake baker and that it is the Gay couple who are in the wrong here. Since he was not saying Thou shalt not; but I shalt not. He was not trying to deny them their right to a ceremony and celebration of it. so who's civil rights are denied? only The cake bakers.
