Yeah but... Baker, people who are judges, fundamental Christians... Cunts or what?
So everybody has to agree with you? If not, call them names. Got it.

Keep in mind that the court's ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, 584 U.S. ___ (2018), 138 S. Ct. 1719; 201 L. Ed. 2d 35 (2018) was extremely narrow. The court ruled the Colorado state agency acted improperly by exhibiting extreme bias. The other constitutional issues raised in the appeal were not addressed by the court.
I read what Robert's said about the case, but that doesn't change that they ruled heavily in favor of the bakery. There is no legal recourse against them in that case. Once it hits the Supreme Court, the only ones who can retry the case are the Supreme Court, and they have no legal obligation to do so. They don't even have to hear cases. They can simply dismiss an appeal. So the odds of the Supreme Court reconsidering are floating right around 0 percent. The cases the court has retried, and there are only a handful, were older cases with different justices.
