Actually, the court last year ruled against a hypothetical new EPA rule… but yes it’s very rare.

As rare as it’s been in the history of the court, THIS court has done it twice in 2 years. They are clearly trying to push an agenda, and do not want to wait for actual cases in order to do so.

Elena Kagan pointed it out in her dissent last year and this year:

Remember when conservatives were AGAINST “judicial activism”?

And it must be called judicial activism when it ignores centuries of legal precedent.

Libtards have the oval office but it still feels like we're winning far more often, mainly because of Trumps supreme court appointees. Thanks Trump!

We can't expect anyone to respect the law when a wrong decision like this, that sanctions discrimination and takes aways rights (first time ever) by SCOTUS of a protected minority group. 

You’re to much bro.  You’re ignorance is astounding, even for a Footballguys refugee.  You can’t even understand the standing in this case, so I guess I’m not surprised you dont understand anything else.

It's not, despite your tears and fake outrage.  I can't even give you an "A" for effort since you've been pulling the same drama day in, day out for the last 20 years in the other forum and now this one.  Your one trick pony show is tired, old and lame.  It didn't work for the last 20 years won't work now in here and you certainly weren't fooling anyone. 

You don't have the protection of the mods in here so there is no one you can run to and get suspended/banned because someone looked at you cross-eyed.

I have yet to report one person on this forum...and what would be the point after seeing what is allowed? It seems like anything goes here.

It is nice in a way that this forum is pretty much unmoderated as I have yet to be suspended (Joe B in the PSF gave me a time out about every two weeks) but it may explain why this place doesn't have a fraction of the traffic of some competing sites.

Conservatives are for a single point of activism:  actively fighting against the constant activism of the Leftist cult in their attempt to destroy our culture of community and sacrifice and replace it with a selfish, hedonistic culture controlled by the State.

I'd say it was a good week on that front.

Anyone really.  You're arguing in favor of discrimination now?

Maybe I’m stupid, but I think the Civil Rights Act guarantees public accommodations to protected groups based on minority status and religion. The CRA has never protected people on the basis of sexual orientation, so it would be legal to deny services to same sex couples but not black people for example.

I only read the OP’s article so correct me if I’m wrong.

The court is clear that this would not be denying services. That would be illegal. It’s preventing the violation of the 1st amendment through Colorados state law.

I'm probably the person that has gotten suspended the most here and I've never reported anyone.  The magas don't like to be insulted

Not personally and not by name. But the forum is moderated by one or more folks (I have seen some threads locked) so if I said something considered beyond the pale (whatever that might be) I am sure there would have been consequences.

So affirmative action, protecting from discrimination, and helping people is selfish hedonistic culture.  You sure about that Jerry?

It’s not considered a service. Her “product” if you will, would be a very customized web design based on her own creative expression.  The court considers it protected by 1A.  The ruling was that no one could compel her to create “speech” in which she did not agree with.

That is the polar opposite of affirmative action. AA is state sanctioned discrimination based solely on race. 

And SCOTUS correctly kicked it to the curb.

This ruling essentially overrules the CRA based on free speech.  So all you have to do is argue that your free speech is being violated and you can deny service all you want, according to this ruling.

As it should be unless you're required by law, or oath, to do otherwise. Doctors, for example can't refuse care based on the patient's political beliefs.

Not really.  If you understand how college admissions work, it's giving AA preferential treatment based on their circumstances.  Nothing wrong with trying to make things more fair.  It's not a deciding factor, there is not "Solely" based on race

They didn't rule that you couldn't take hardships or life circumstances into account. They simply ruled that race, alone, couldn't be included in the deciding criteria.

It is a public accomodation, but the court ruled its also free speech, so she doesn't have to create speech that she disagrees with.  It's a stretch for sure.

If the website goes against your personal beliefs and you have the courage of your convictions to refuse the money, that should be your right of refusal.
