I know Jack Phillips, the Masterpiece Cakeshop guy quite well. We've had several good conversations and let me tell you this; they are rock solid in their beliefs and you will never convince them otherwise. And that is what the law is for; to protect all people from discrimination. Cake is food; designing a cake is simply preparing a food dish. What's to stop discrimination against LGBTQ folks at restaurants because a plate of food is an artwork? A website is 'art'? Well then so is this comment; I designed it just for you! Southerners in the Jim Crow South really believed that Black people carried diseases, were sub-human. Disgusting? Yes. Will you ever convince them or their progeny otherwise? No. The law and the ADA, the public access laws are designed to prevent discrimination. As Jonathan Capehart said last night on the Newshour, the Supremes are just so wrong. Finally, law school 101 teaches you that 'standing' is required. Ms. Smith did NOT have standing (you're so right, Thom).

I just read in another newsletter, that the GOP is going to pay for this mistake, it has so angered students that they will turn out in droves to oust the Republicans. Just like Dobbs is motivating females

The SCOTS six do not care, they are as Trad rad Catholics ideologically motivate and at the same time a bought commodity (examples: Paul Singer..Alito, Harlan Crowe..Thomas. Thomas is the one that really upsets me, he is the perfect modern example of the House Slave Stephen, drinking Brandy by the fireplace with his master, in Django Unchained. Then their is Ms Ladybugs Graham, and the Log Cabin Republicans.

It is true, it seems, money can buy anyone and anything, including loyalty There has to be exceptions l I hope there are.
