    Yes, the Opinion says that the Colorado Appeals court acted improperly when it distinguished those cases from this one only "because of the offensive nature of the requested message."

        I really don't see how they could have ignored his religion since that was the whole reason he didn't want to create the cake in the first place.

          The official twitter site for Haymarket Books, which bills itself as a "radical publisher of politics, culture, current events" and publishes books by authors like Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis and Howard Zinn, posted "Abolish the Supreme Court" almost immediately after the decision was announced.

          That seems to be a fairly typical liberal response to things they don't like. Hillary lost? Abolish the electoral college! Don't like what someone says? Time to ban free speech.

          A little while later Eric Renner Brown, who writes for "Entertainment Weekly" tweeted that "" and then "And it's not just the conservatives! That 7-2 Masterpiece Cakeshop decision? Ostensibly liberal justices Kagan and Breyer joined it. It's time for serious introspection about our undemocratic court system and how it severely hampers the will of the people"

          Idiot doesn't realize that the courts aren't there to push for this or that fad of the moment or what is trending as popular but to determine if what we want to do is legal (constitutional).

                  My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                  If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                  This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                      True. But if they did need to establish the reason for the discrimination, they could simply have noted the religious argument as the baker's reason for the discrimination, without commenting on it.
