Extremist Supreme Court licenses discrimination

Allowing a web designer to turn away gay couples opens the floodgates to discriminate against LGBTQ people, Jews, Blacks, women and any group based on "free speech" and "religious liberty."

@msignorile scotus basically said the “coloreds only” water fountains are legally protected.

I wish local supermarkets refused to serve all customers wearing a trump hat, driving with a WWJD bumper sticker, or promoting guns. Simply citing religious grounds & freedom of speech should suffice.

Today's decision was based on a contrived hypothetical and was extremely limited to "sale of customized speech" - the SCOTUS held that the 1st amendment protects the seller, but not the purchaser - ignoring the fact that such 'customized speech' is a work for hire and belongs to the purchaser.

OTOH, if the website designer is selling books? they can't discriminate against a purchaser,

If the designer is selling a website *template* they also can't discriminate.
