So let me get this straight. The Supreme Court is only supposed to take cases where there is a real injury and real controversy, but it took the case of a web designer who faked a request by a gay customer for a website design? The guy was actually straight, married and with kids?

Vacate this case.

To me, it says that 9 justices on SCOTUS are clearly overworked and don't have time to delve deeply enough into their cases to catch such an obvious error in lower courts.

Clearly they need more justices to properly do their job.

Expand the court.

@plasmator @georgetakei The court opinion involved the 1st amendment. But in this case, it was the non-discrimination requirement of the business license that was really on the line. The court created an exception for that business license with respect creative services, which I consider wrong because it was a PUBLIC service. If she had a personal religious objection to any design work as part of that public service, she should have been required to hire someone who COULD perform the task, thus satisfying the anti-descrimination provisions of the business license. I've lost total respect for this court.
