    The court is simply throwing out precedent to allow discrimination just like they threw out precedent to allow state abortion bans. It’s not about legal hair splitting or any kind of logic, just pushing their right wing extremist agenda.

      Scarcely. Read the majority opinion. It specifically carves out an exception for “creative works” (or whatever the exact term is, I honestly don’t remember) which in effect says that you cannot be forced by law to create something that espouses a position or creed with which you disagree.

      As of right now I don’t have a strong opinion on the ruling either way, but I think it’s worth getting what it says right before we condemn it.

      I lean towards thinking that it makes distinctions with which I agree, but I’m going to withhold judgement until I learn more about the arguments and we have a better sense of how it’s going to play out in practice.

        The Supreme Court is a fucking joke, none of their opinions deserve serious consideration. They’re nothing but right wing ideologues pursuing their racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-worker agenda.
