    Read an analysis after the election-related decisions were releases saying "this court can't be easily defined..." it didn't age well when the other decisions were announced.

    Seriously here: Let's say some business owner refuses to serve an interracial couple and cites a deeply held religious conviction that people of different races shouldn't marry. Can the Trumpist bigot get away with it? Apparently so.

    Christian Opposition to Interracial Marriage Is Still a Problem

    My experiences are not isolated. A little more than a month ago, a Mississippi couple was denied a wedding venue because the groom was black and the bride was white. The venue's owners claimed the couple’s union went against their “Christian beliefs.”

    In this case, the owners backed down and apologized for their initial stance.
    This was in 2018.

    Now do they have SCOTUS on their side?

    I've said this repeatedly, maybe on this thread but certainly on this site:
    If I owned a business or provided a service that was dependent on customers, I don't give a hoot what their personal lives are.
    As long as the check clears, you be you.

    "unless you account for the fact that Roberts is a partisan plant."

    How about he's just an unqualified judicial hack who has absolutely no business being the Chief Justice of the highest court in the United States, and responsible for some of the worst decisions in this country's history?

    Forget precedent, forget standing, forget any actual facts....this SCOTUS majority only has one function...to shoot down laws it doesn't like

    I want Uncle Thomas to write the opinion when they overturn Loving vs Virginia.

    How does a person justify not renting a house based on free speech rights?
