Hearing set for same-sex wedding cake dispute in Oregon

[ArmedProgrammer]

If I'm a wedding planner, may I discriminate in how I choose my clients?

I don't want to spend dozens of hours with people I can't stand.

They can discriminate in how they choose you, right? Is turnabout not fair play?

I discriminate in choosing my clients - jackasses and drama llamas need not apply. I will even raise their prices for being a pain in the rear...

I almost ate a gay cake once.....................I really don't want to talk about it.

I've never eaten a gay cake but I bet I know what it would taste like.


It would taste like cake.

I think it's an opportunity to eventually get that to the Supreme Court. Give the highest court the opportunity to declare in no uncertain terms that the first amendment is void.

Yeah...I'd be afraid of taking this case before this version of SCOTUS.

**** Oregon. **** the rainbow. **** the short-sighted who hash-tagged us into this mess.

Who knows what the next one will look like though?

 

[jamil]

It's inevitable. Let's just get it done and over. And then let's shame them into the oblivion of history for being the ones who officially ****ed it up.

I'd prefer to have their ruling on the table sooner, than later. Though it would likely take our system years to process it through the grinder.

We need about 10K people in Oregon to show up at the state house for a march.

You're right. At best, if history is any indication, we have a 25% chance of improvement.

Exactly. The prevailing standard is for those who promote more state and fewer real constitutional rights to smirk at us as they say, "Heads, I win, Tales, you lose."

I doubt there'd be much shame. This is about fundamental transformation. We were promised that 7 years ago and we're witnessing its culmination. In one of Michelle's speeches, she tells us Barack wants us to change our definitions and traditions--apparently, many agree, including this court (and a surprisingly large number here, on this site).

 

[ArcadiaGP]

The official behind this order is in a position that can be impeached, is he not?

Makes me sad. Some day this holiday will only be a day we get off work. Maybe.

Who would do it?

Any anti-fascist... which I would hope still exist.

Doubt it in Oregon.

Clint Smith, maybe?

There's another thread where someone posted some vintage photos, taken in the '30's or '40's. A questioned was posted about why people always looked tougher back then than they do now and a response of "It's because they were building a nation instead of tearing one down" was my favorite reply. Sadly this thread backs up the part about tearing one down!
