Oh yeah he's totally right. That's why the SCOTUS is deciding on a state ruling as we speak lmao... newsflash retards: the state can't trample on your constitutional rights.You should probably bow out of this one amRam. cael is exactly right...
Ugh. Duh. Big picture, boys. Big picture.I don't think you understand how our court system works.
The SCOTUS is not ruling on an existing Colorado case. They are hearing arguments from a brand new federal case challenging the state ruling.
I'm not sure how it works in Canuckistan.
SCOTUS will hear cases from State courts...
Now we're gonna argue semantics I guess...when all else fails?
Well it's pretty fucking cut and dry here. Oregon law prohibits business owners from discriminating based on sexual orientation, among other things such as race and religion.
Perhaps these uppity Christians should have kept their mouth shut as to why they were denying service to these particular people instead of campaigning on social media against the big bad gays that wanted a cake.
or perhaps a $500 fine would be sufficient, rather than a $135k award
Impossible. SCOTUS has no bearing on states. States can do whatever they want.look @ all these constitutional scholars
The law that applies to situations where state and federal laws disagree is called the supremacy clause, which is part of article VI of the Constitution. The supremacy clause contains what's known as the doctrine of pre-emption, which says that the federal government wins in the case of conflicting legislation.
lmagayo
I think the SCOTUS will rule differently.
If the top opposing arguments are discrimination v. religious freedom, religion would have to win out. IMHO. The cakemakers didn't harm anyone. The couple could have just gone to any of dozens of other establishments. But NOOOOOOO. They had to be whiny bitches.
