Well, according to MTG the GOP under #KeveinMcCarthy have more than enough evidence to convict the Bidens is the #BurismaAffair. The only problem is the evidence. To fix this they have asked #LorieSmith to Develop the evidence and witnesses. #SCOTUS will hear the case in April 2024.

A reporter decided to track down the "customer" named in #LorieSmith's anti-gay wedding website case that went to the #SCotUS to get his thoughts on the subject.

The man... married to a woman and had a child... was also a website designer and didn't know why he was being cited in her case... questioned why he... a website designer himself... would ask another website designer in another state who had never made a gay-wedding website, to make one for him? 🤨 https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/report-suggests-supreme-court-opened-door-to-anti-gay-discrimination-based-on-fake-case-186270789569

Report suggests Supreme Court opened door to anti-gay discrimination based on fake case

Melissa Gira Grant, staff writer for The New Republic, talks about her interview with the person supposedly at the heart of the 303 Creative v. Elenis case and her reporting that suggests there is no basis in reality for the case that has become the vehicle for the conservative Supreme Court to allow discrimination against LGBTQ people.

A #Colorado web designer who the #UnitedStates Supreme Court ruled Friday could refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples cited a request from a man who says he never asked to work with her.

The request in dispute, from a person identified as "Stewart," wasn't the basis for the federal lawsuit filed preemptively seven years ago by web designer #LorieSmith, before she started making wedding websites.

The man named in the Supreme Court's gay rights ruling says he didn't request a wedding website

A Colorado web designer who the U.S. Supreme Court ruled could refuse to make a wedding website for gay couples had cited a request from a man who says he never asked to work with her. The request in dispute wasn’t the basis for the federal lawsuit filed preemptively seven years ago by web designer Lorie Smith. But as the case advanced, it was referenced by her attorneys when lawyers for the state of Colorado pressed Smith on whether she had sufficient grounds to sue. The revelation distracts from Smith’s victory. Friday's ruling is widely considered a setback for gay rights.

#LorieSmith, the woman who said being forced to create a "Gay Wedding" website was a violation of her #FirstAmendment rights, was NEVER ACTUALLY ASKED to build a Gay Wedding website. NO ONE ACTUALLY SUED HER, and the couple she cited in her case was actually a STRAIGHT married couple.

This was a *total* "WHAT IF" case and NOT the #SCotUS settling a dispute. They were CREATING LAW by even taking up the case... which is the purview of Congress, not the Court. 🤬 The most #ActivistCourt in history.

She wins #duplicitousoftheday contest. #loriesmith is the new face of right wing extremist activist legal group #alliancedefendingfreedom. It was a made up, hypothetical “what if” lawsuit funded by a hate group. Yet, she literally has no wedding website design business and was never asked to work on a website for a gay wedding. It’s all about promoting hate.
