Heidi Li FeldmanAnother day, another #SupremeCourt decision I have now read with care and will try to shed some light on. This time it is #303CreativevElenis, available at https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-476_c185.pdf. By a 6-3 majority, the Court holds that a business that holds itself open to the public may deny its services to LGBTQ people if the business’s activities are “expressive”. A thread. 1/ #LawFedi
#NeilGorsuch, for the majority, writes “It is difficult to read the dissent and conclude [the majority and the dissent] are looking at the same case.” Gorsuch attributes this reaction to the dissent wildly misreading the facts and the law. I also have the reaction, though not because I agree #SoniaSotomayor, author of the dissent, is misguided, confused, or wrong about anything. 2/ #303CreativevElenis #LawFedi
Matt Blaze@heidilifeldman I admire Sotomayor more with each dissent.
Jennifed@heidilifeldman @mattblaze Who is combing through the Colorado wedding industrial complex to create cases to feed to this scotus?
Next case going to be invitations? Flowers? Gowns and tuxedos?
These are designed cases, purpose built, certainly.

I don't know where I read it, but a reporter called the person who allegedly asked for a same-sex wedding website, named in the suit, and that person had no idea that his name had been attached - he said he never requested a website, he's straight, and he's a website designer himself. They had to entirely make up the circumstances for this case, probably because no gay person was ever going to ask this idiot to make a wedding website for them.
@SueShannon @heidilifeldman @mattblaze Yes, I am in the Colorado news market and that is what is being reported on Denver local news.
Standing be damned with this scotus.
