Kradek 06/30/23 7:13:38 PM #1:	https://www.npr.org/2023/06/30/1182121291/colorado-supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-decision The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that the First Amendment bars Colorado from "forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees." Writing for the conservative majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said: "Ms. [Lori] Smith seeks to engage in protected First Amendment speech; Colorado seeks to compel speech she does not wish to provide. As the Tenth Circuit observed, if Ms. Smith offers wedding websites celebrating marriages she endorses, the State intends to compel her to create custom websites celebrating other marriages she does not. ... If she wishes to speak, she must either speak as the State demands or face sanctions for expressing her own beliefs, sanctions that may include compulsory participation in 'remedial . . . training,' filing periodic compliance reports, and paying monetary fines. That is an impermissible abridgement of the First Amendment's right to speak freely." In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class." She added: "Around the country, there has been a backlash to the movement for liberty and equality for gender and sexual minorities. New forms of inclusion have been met with reactionary exclusion. This is heartbreaking. Sadly, it is also familiar. When the civil rights and women's rights movements sought equality in public life, some public establishments refused. Some even claimed, based on sincere religious beliefs, constitutional rights to discriminate. The brave Justices who once sat on this Court decisively rejected those claims." For years, the justices have side-stepped the difficult issue presented by business owners who don't want to comply with public accommodation laws for same-sex weddings. Florists, photographers, and a baker all went to court arguing that they should not have to use their artistry for same-sex weddings. But the court either declined to review lower court rulings or, in the case of the baker who refused to make a custom wedding cake for a same-sex couple, the court punted. This year, however, the new conservative supermajority reached out in an unusually aggressive manner, agreeing to decide a case in which nobody had yet filed a claim of discrimination. Instead, Smith, a web designer who is opposed to same sex marriage, pre-emptively sued the state of Colorado, claiming that the state law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation violates her right of free speech. Smith who believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, said she wanted to create a custom web-page business for weddings, but could not do so because under Colorado law she would have been forced to create websites that violate her faith. Colorado said it didn't want to dictate what Smith said in her web designs, but that if her business is open to the public--as it is--it had to serve everyone. On Friday, the court ruled against the state and for the web designer in a decision that could have profound consequences in Colorado and 29 other states that have laws requiring businesses open to the public to serve everyone, regardless or race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. What makes this case illegitimate is that as Gorsuch himself mentions, this is based off a worry of hers. No damages have been suffered, and in fact two days ago it was exposed that the guy she claimed was a gay man asking her to set up a page for their upcoming wedding, to include his personal information such as his phone number and address, turned out to be a guy who is actually straight and married. He told the reporter that nobody had even bothered to try to contact him until she did and that if Smith used his identity in some supporting documents manner then those are falsified records. https://newrepublic.com/article/173987/mysterious-case-fake-gay-marriage-website-real-straight-man-supreme-court --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:974539064] in SC decisio...

Taharqa_ 06/30/23 9:01:25 PM #49:	So what's next on the agenda for this illegitimate court? Obergefell vs Hodges? Fair Housing Act? Brown v Board? Loving vs Virginia? Civil Rights Act of 1964? It's high time that people realize that there is a significant portion of this country that is still pissed about the gains made during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s. Conservatives have been playing a 50 year long game here, slowly chipping away at progress. There is a significant portion of this country that stopped and said "I'm good" on this 55+ year second attempt at reconstruction (little R) and integration. We have a major political party that is basically a Neo-Confederate Party and a Supreme Court with six members willing to do their bidding. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb <cite>Taharqa_ posted [p:974541388] in SC decisio...
