What I do not understand is the three Leftist justices voted in favor of religious rights on the postal worker case released yesterday, but voted against this one released today.

 

Supreme Court rules in favor of Colorado graphic designer who refused to create same-sex wedding websites

 

The U.S. Supreme Court held that a Colorado graphic designer who wants to make wedding websites does not have to create them for same-sex marriages, in a landmark decision that pit the interests of LGBTQ non-discrimination against First Amendment freedom.

 

In a 6-3 decision issued Friday, the high court ruled in favor of artist Lorie Smith, who sued the state over its anti-discrimination law that prohibited businesses providing sales or other accommodations to the public from denying service based on a customer's sexual orientation.

 

Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, which said that, "In this case, Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance."

I do not understand why court intervention is needed when the web site designer could have designed a web site that said: “gay marriage breaks God’s commandment”. The customers could then pay or not pay.

 

Really wish courts would stay out of simple matters.

I am aware that big businesses can totally screw you, let's say Banks refused to do business with you because your ESG score is not high enough, water or electricity companies?

Gorsuch Savages Sotomayor's Brain-Melting Dissent in the 303 Creative Case

 

[...] The fun didn't stop with the overall ruling, though.  Justice Neil Gorsuch pulled no punches in reaming Justice Sonia Sotomayor's ridiculous, confused dissent.  He unleashed on Sotomayor's twisted logic in which she jumps from one side of the issue to the other without even a hint of an interpretative standard.  [...]

Well, Mayor Pete is not a very good transportation Secretary, so I guess he needs some deflection.  Receipts please.
