The Colorado Supreme Court basically punted, but in the right direction, on yet another lawsuit against Jack and his Masterpiece Cakeshop. Here’s my Five Bullet Brief of THIS article:
- The Colorado Supreme Court dismissed the case on procedural grounds, avoiding a ruling on the constitutional question.
- The court ruled 4-3 that the plaintiff, Autumn Scardina, had filed the lawsuit in the wrong court.
- By not addressing the free speech issue, the court sidestepped the debate on whether the baker’s refusal violated anti-discrimination laws.
- Lower courts had previously ruled against Jack Phillips, citing the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.
- The ruling leaves unresolved tensions between religious freedom and LGBTQ rights in Colorado.
My comment: Stop it. You’ve lost. Stop torturing this poor man who has held his ground and stood up for his Biblically based beliefs. Let him live and pursue happiness in the way he chooses. That’s the thing about the radicals in the LBGTQ crowd. You are free to pursue happiness the same way Jack is, so please do. But for you, it’s apparently not enough that you live your life according to your choice. Everyone else must be forced – be legal means or social threats and intimidation – to accept your beliefs as fact and truth. They are not.
You do you, boo. Let me be me. We’ll get along fine. But as the radical left proves time and time again, “you shall comply.”
