The #SupremeCourt’s public standing has been eroded by extreme decisions like that of #DobbsvJackson #Women’s #Health Organization. The court’s decision in #303Creative LLC v. Elenis, along with the manufactured controversy that inspired the case, does the court no favors.

'In this case, all we heard about was poor Lorie Smith and how she was “worried” about creating same-sex websites. There was no real same-sex couple on the other side of this story, explaining how being turned down because of who they are and whom they love is devastating, stigmatizing and illegal. The requirement that there be a real case and real injury ensures that we don’t get these kinds of one-sided stories.’

#303creative tries to piss in your face. Complains you won't open your mouth.

#303Creative is like "404: Not Found." There was no case without lying and making one up. https://coloradonewsline.com/2023/07/03/303-creative-a-fake-case-with-real-consequence/

‘#Elon clowns… his own most committed stans and the media, just making something up… that everyone… [runs] with, like that week when we had to have a very serious debate about the ethics of sharing the location of private jets’

“Assassination coordinates,” “murder attempt,” “funding secured,” “6 months definitely,” etc.

Plus a warning from Justice Sotomayor in 303 Creative: "Although the consequences of today's decision might be most pressing for the #LGBTQ community, the decision's logic cannot be limited to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."

Justice Sotomayor in 303 Creative: "In this pivotal moment, the Court had an opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to equality on behalf of all members of society, including LGBTQ people. It did not do so."

Now there's an understatement.

Smith argues that she doesn't discriminate against gay people bc she will make them other websites.

Justice Sotomayor in 303 Creative: " Smith answers that she will sell other websites for gay and lesbian clients [just not wedding ones]. But then she, like Ollie McClung, who would serve Black people take out but not table service, discriminates against LGBTQ people by offering them a limited menu."

#TIL that the attorney for both #303creative and #MasterpieceCakeshop, #KristenWaggoner, is a huge #Disney fan, which she so far has not had to square with Ron DeSantis' assault on the company.

But that will be an interesting head explosion to watch. https://www.dailysignal.com/2017/12/04/meet-lawyer-wholl-argue-supreme-court-christian-bakers-right-free-speech/

“Broccoli mandate” -> “Cornhusker kickback” -> “private prayers” (on the 50 yard line) -> student loan processor becomes plaintiff against its will -> #303creative

An analysis of all 62 federal lawsuits decided from 1990-2020 involving a clash between #LGBTQ rights and religious believes finds that in only a third of them did the courts side with the religious litigant.

In only 3 of those did the courts rule in favor of the litigants’ specific religion-based legal claim.

This could change with the decision in #303Creative

#303creative is the #GeorgeSantos of plaintiffs.

Anyone who is queer knows that no gay couple would ever ask #loriesmith to design ANYTHING. #303creative designs are awful

Good Lord! The fact that 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis was decided on a lie is galling AF.

But be absolutely clear that does not matter no matter how many posts you see about it on social media. The Supreme Court makes the rules. They aren't going to re-hear the case. They aren't going to change their mind. Not this court.

Even if they did, the best the SC would do is void the decision and then make the exact same decision for another case.

The decision may eventually be overturned, but the only real way that's going to happen is a change in the makeup of the court and someone else bringing a case designed to overturn it.

There's going to be no Supreme Court perjury case either. This case isn't going to get overturned on any kind of technicality.

A law professor analyzes the Supreme Court's ruling in the #303Creative case about a website designer who wanted the freedom to discriminate against gay couples:

"Ensuring both freedom of speech and civil rights requires good-faith efforts at respect – and respect is a two-way street. However, exactly what this looks like will likely be the cause of more litigation to come."
