Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Round 2

[Angrboda]

I doubt that people ordering a cake for a second marriage bother to tell him that it's for a second marriage.

This person went out of the way to say it had to do with being transgender. They're trying to stir up shit.

Then perhaps, in order to maintain his status as a Good Christian in the eyes of the Lord, he should be screening all potential customers before consenting to provide his services.  I’m sure he’d be aghast at the thought that he was unknowingly complicit in sending out any kind of message that didn’t comport with his religious values, yeah?

Yeah, the day he starts screening applicants to be sure this is their first wedding and not their second, then he can bitch.

I don't agree with the free speech claims anyway, but it's an unsettled area of law. But really, how much "speech" is involved in baking a pink cake with blue icing? That's just bullshit on the face of it. But at the same time, we either have to adjudicate business by business or rule, contrary to precedent, that the production of a good or service doesn't qualify for an exception to a generally applicable law based on the free speech clause of the first amendment as well. I don't see the latter happening.
