    I can’t imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person’s beliefs.

    I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

    Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I’d not agitate customers if it were my business.

        This case is bullshit, as you already stated. The problem is that the purpose of it is to lay the groundwork for medical professionals to deny service to “ungodly” people.

          Haven’t there already been state-level cases that allow this? I swear I saw something about this out of Tennessee.

          Thanks for the link. I just read the article. So the Supreme Court made an all-encompassing ruling based on a lawsuit filed over an easily-verifiable-as-fabricated story. It would be bizarro shit if we didn’t already know the court’s just doing exactly what they were put there to do. It’s completely fucked up.

          Thanks for pointing that out! It’s the most obvious psy-op yet and people still aren’t catching on.

            I’m actually surprised, I thought the reason they were reluctant to endorse the so-called Independent State Legislature Theory because they didn’t want to erode their already fragile credibility in light of the seemingly endless corruption scandals. Then they go and basically ignore the entire concept of standing and make a ruling based on literally nothing! I think I need to reexamine how smart I think they are…

              An argument I’ve seen to explain this decision was that it detracted from the judiciary’s influence/power by instead empowering state legislatures. Take that as you will, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

                I guess? But like, if the Independent State Legislature of California decided to go along with the decision and become the People’s Republic of California then the Court could just say “no but not like that tho” and then ban California from doing that. They must still care somewhat about credibility/legitimacy, but I guess they just couldn’t help themselves when the chance to attack The Gays was available.

        She*, and she stole a real (straight, married, with children) man’s identity to use as hypothetical. The whole thing should be absolutely thrown out by a higher court - the court of the people.

        Also, what happens if a scotus judge is assassinated? Like for real, what if a terrorist straight up murders one? If it’s the president, the vice president takes over, and if them… There’s like a power list for that. But, what about a scotus? Does the standing president just get to pick one again? Or is there a list of rank? Or is it like monarchy where the judge has a written will or a say over who replaces them? Goddamn; why do we even have this shitty system.

          While I don’t believe there has ever been a SC Judge assassinated, all vacancies are to be filled by the President and approved by the Senate.

            More realistically though, the wealthiest Republican party donors pick the SC, and have been doing so for the better part of the last few decades now.

            Nobody else has a real say, and whenever somebody attempts to regain control for the people, the propaganda machine starts a’hummin’, and we all start going at each other’s throats again.

        There are zero “principles” involved in that sign. It’s one ass trying to piss off other asses.

          You don’t actually know that, though to be fair, an actually principled stance would be to refuse to serve all Republicans and not specifically Trump supporters. In some ways Trump is becoming the lesser evil of the Party when compared to some of the other monsters running against him.

      Have you read the other comments here? Every left leaning person responding is saying the same thing as the sign only against Trump supporters.

      Read the rest of this thread. Some sort of TDS here.

        Yeah - I have no idea why all these stupid libruls are angry at the 10s of millions of traitorous dipshits who voted for a traitorous dipshit who did everything he could to ruin the country. Must be TDS.
