You seem to think the baker will lose. There's no way that's possible if the SCOTUS Judges abide by their oath to uphold the US Constitution and Federal Law.

If any of them violate that oath, impeachment is valid.

Okay , well since you have solved this whole mess just inform the SCOTUS and I am sure they will dump the case since you have resolved it.

SCOTUS already agreed the state of Colorado's overreach was a problem when they agreed to hear the case.

You and the other members of the SC have got all this "slam dunk" figured out, so what more is there to discuss? Don't even really need to learn what the SC decides. Right? I'll bet the baker is already preparing to collect damages, if they haven't been paid to him by the state already...
Now that we got that settled, that anyone can be a a-hole to anyone they want as long as it fits with their religious believes and artistic inclinations and the law doesn't specifically outlaw it, what topic shall we take on next?

I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but that's actually where the problem lies for LGBTs. Congress has to legislate the addition of LGBT Status as a Protected Class under the Federal Civil Rights Act. Congress has considered doing so several times, but never actually did so, regardless of which political party held majorities.

LGBTs need to be asking themselves why Dem members of Congress don't have their backs...

Even if federal law covered LGBT, the SC would face the same issue --- does application of the law violate the bakers 1st Amendment free speech and exercise of religion Constitutional rights. You continue to give federal CRA undue importance.

As for impeaching justices who vote against the baker, you're serious, sadly.

Yes, it does. State law cannot supercede US Constitutional Rights.

Yes. SCOTUS Judges who violate their oath by failing to uphold the Constitution and Federal Law need to be impeached.

So how do you all feel about this baker who refused to make a pro-Trump cake?

My opinion hasn't changed since the gay cake baker case. If a baker was adamant about refusing to serve me, why would I give them the opportunity to poison me and pay for the privilege? Just give them a bad Yelp review.

The question begs. Who would want food provided by people that you know doesn't like you? Lets reverse this. There is a restaurant owned by black people. These people make no secret that they hate whites, feel that all whites need to be punished. I am not eating in that restaurant.

Any non-essential business should be able to deny service for any reason they choose.
