Not sure I would want to work for those folks, especially after the court bloodied their collective nose,\u00a0 but at least his record is now clear.<\/p>\n
This follows on the news that another lawsuit, this one in Colorado against the same baker who refused to make a cake for a lesbian wedding, was dismissed.<\/p>\n
Colorado’s Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit against a Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a transgender woman. Justices declined to weigh in on the free speech issues that brought the case national attention.<\/p>\n
Baker Jack Phillips was sued by attorney Autumn Scardina in 2017 after his Denver-area bakery refused to make a pink cake with blue frosting to celebrate her gender transition.<\/p>\n
Scardina attempted to order her cake the same day the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear Phillips\u2019 appeal in the wedding cake case. Scardina said she wanted to challenge Phillips’ claims that he would serve LGBTQ+ customers and denied her attempt to get the cake was a set up for litigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, right. It was all altruistic, huh…<\/p>\n
In March 2019, lawyers for the state and Phillips agreed to drop both cases under a settlement Scardina was not involved in. She pursued the lawsuit against Phillips and Masterpiece Cakeshop on her own.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the case took a wrong turn, justices said in Tuesday\u2019s ruling. Scardina should have challenged the state\u2019s settlement with Phillips directly to the state’s court of appeals, they said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So no judgement on the merits themselves. Does sound to me that if Scardina is a lawer, he\/sheit is not a very good one based on this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
