Judge Nap isn't too pleased...
http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/06/0...gerous-opinionJudge Andrew Napolitano said that the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of a baker who refused to craft a wedding cake for a same-sex couple could set a precedent for religious discrimination in future cases.
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of baker Jack Phillips in a 7-2 decision, after the couple filed charges against him in 2012.
Phillips had refused to bake the couple's wedding cake due to his religious beliefs against gay marriage.
"I think this is a dangerous opinion," Napolitano said of the ruling on "America's Newsroom."
"It will allow others to say, 'My religious beliefs prohibit me from dealing with women or Italians or African-Americans,' and they will base it on the logic in this case," he explained.
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
I guess the real test will be if Muslim businesses try to discriminate against non-Muslim customers because the Koran says not to serve the "infidel"...
Or Mormon businesses refuse to serve non-Mormons in towns where they are in the majority. (There's been a case or two of that happening in eastern Idaho in recent years... )
I agree it's not as problematic when you have other options... I'm not that familiar with that town in Colorado, but for example, if that particular cake baker refused to make them a cake, could they not just go somewhere else within reasonable distance and "vote with their wallets" and take their business elsewhere? I mean, why would you want a bigot to make you a cake on your special day anyway? Why not find someone who appreciates your same-sex union?
It sounds like this SCOTUS ruling was pretty narrow though, and only applied to this particular case. Apparently Justice Kennedy thought the Colorado Civil Rights Commission went too far in criticizing the baker's religious beliefs as being unreasonable, but had no larger implications on these types of "business discrimination" cases as a whole.
So we'll probably be seeing a case like this wind up in the courts again in the near future...

We might find that this only applies to self-employed people, who have no hired help.
If they hire even one worker, then I bet the equal opportunity employment act will somehow be construed to say as they hire from the public, then they must equally serve the public.

It is important to remember that the baker had not refused to serve homosexual clients, he just refused to make a cake for a gay wedding. The MSM tries to conflate this to he was discriminating against homosexuals in general, but his refusal was narrow, so the courts opinion is also narrow. It was the state that tried to widen the aperture and they got slapped for it.

Further more in an ideal Libertarian world, we'd all have the right to refuse to do business with whom ever we didn't want to. The free market system would take care of it.
The discrimination is on the part of the gays who want to be able to force people to participate in their deathstyle.
