The SCOTUS has become very dangerous, starting with that citizen's united bullshit. Hang in there Ruth, you can't die for at least 2 more years!

I think they might have made the right decision. These people would still have been upset and if they were compelled to do something they didn't like who knows what they would have done. State law can still supersede the decision. This will mean those wishing to discriminate must weigh the consequence of a reduced income and maybe even a boycott. Perhaps the couples should have gone to an Erotic Bakery (there is one in Seattle). [eroticbakery.net]

The sad, scary thing is that people who refuse to read the opinion think it stands for the proposition that it's ok to discriminate when in fact if the same guy does it tomorrow he probably loses the case based on the court's narrow ruling. Certainly blame the lawyers, always a good scapegoat In case it matters to you, the State of Colorado had not legalized gay marriage at the time and while the conservative court was looking for some way to uphold his actions, it did say in the opinion that it's not ok for a person in business to the public to discriminate. This is really no different than trump saying there were good people on both sides in Charlotte. To the racists he was read as saying it's ok to be racist when in fact his comment doesnt change the law on racism against protected classes. Narrow Supreme Court rulings should not be misinterpreted. I've had this discussion on another post and won't respond or dwell on it, all I can say is please read the opinion if you care about the issue before jumping to conclusions. [supremecourt.gov]

Religious fascists...
