    I can’t imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person’s beliefs.

    I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

    Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I’d not agitate customers if it were my business.

      That’s the ridiculous thing about this entire case. This was a web designer and bigot who made websites for married couples. There were no homosexual couples asking the designer to make them a wedding website. She had one fake web request, and the Illegitimate Court said she had a right to discriminate against imaginary people.

      This opens the floodgates to the rest of the bigots who want to protest the existence of people they hate by denying them services.

            I’m actually surprised, I thought the reason they were reluctant to endorse the so-called Independent State Legislature Theory because they didn’t want to erode their already fragile credibility in light of the seemingly endless corruption scandals. Then they go and basically ignore the entire concept of standing and make a ruling based on literally nothing! I think I need to reexamine how smart I think they are…

              An argument I’ve seen to explain this decision was that it detracted from the judiciary’s influence/power by instead empowering state legislatures. Take that as you will, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

                I guess? But like, if the Independent State Legislature of California decided to go along with the decision and become the People’s Republic of California then the Court could just say “no but not like that tho” and then ban California from doing that. They must still care somewhat about credibility/legitimacy, but I guess they just couldn’t help themselves when the chance to attack The Gays was available.

        She*, and she stole a real (straight, married, with children) man’s identity to use as hypothetical. The whole thing should be absolutely thrown out by a higher court - the court of the people.

        Also, what happens if a scotus judge is assassinated? Like for real, what if a terrorist straight up murders one? If it’s the president, the vice president takes over, and if them… There’s like a power list for that. But, what about a scotus? Does the standing president just get to pick one again? Or is there a list of rank? Or is it like monarchy where the judge has a written will or a say over who replaces them? Goddamn; why do we even have this shitty system.

          While I don’t believe there has ever been a SC Judge assassinated, all vacancies are to be filled by the President and approved by the Senate.

            More realistically though, the wealthiest Republican party donors pick the SC, and have been doing so for the better part of the last few decades now.

            Nobody else has a real say, and whenever somebody attempts to regain control for the people, the propaganda machine starts a’hummin’, and we all start going at each other’s throats again.

          Thanks, fixed.

          Scotus judges won’t be assassinated because the violent terrorists support them.

      Have you read the other comments here? Every left leaning person responding is saying the same thing as the sign only against Trump supporters.

      Read the rest of this thread. Some sort of TDS here.

        Yeah - I have no idea why all these stupid libruls are angry at the 10s of millions of traitorous dipshits who voted for a traitorous dipshit who did everything he could to ruin the country. Must be TDS.
