#SCOTUS #303CreativeLLC vs #Elenis
What would NOT make sense is finding for the plaintiff, IF you're a judge who is a States Rights conservative. The State of Colorado has a right to make its own laws governing business license PROVIDED it also complies with the Public Access Act (can't discriminate based on religion, race, gender). Either you're a conservative OR you agree with the plaintiff.

Both things cannot be true at the same time.

#SCOTUS #303CreativeLLC vs #Elenis

Yeah. The complaint is a denial of a state license for an arts business , which is why the 1st Amendment Freedom of Expression was cited. She also said she already had gay customers that contracted with her for designing for other events, just not weddings, and she wanted to design any other type of weddings but that kind.

...Which is why cert made sense, and not for any of the other rationales discussed by talking heads thusfar.

Listening to CSPAN's replay of #SCOTUS questionings on the #303CreativeLLC vs #Elenis case, but in light of the #CNN interview of the plaintiff.

Business explanation satisfied me that SCOTUS properly granted cert.

Not satisfied with certain questions, like Barrett's question distinguishing "Christians or Catholic". I'll bet Thomas didn't like hearing that phraseology.
