I agree this case will very likely go Lorie Smith's way. It's not a nailbiter. The real issue will be how the line is drawn.

That said, I do know the business is real and that Lorie really is interested in doing wedding websites. She's been serving customers for years - just not wedding customers (of any sort) due to this litigation. Was she selected and supported in this action by the Alliance Defending Freedom? Yes, of course. Just like my church selected brother Reynolds in 1874 to present a test case. But she didn't invent a story to be a test case. She had a real business and was found by the ADF. And she's a perfect selection IMO. Very personable and very sincere. You should listen to one of her interviews.

I won't go into further detail than this post, but sufficed to say, Lorie has been my next-door neighbor since I moved to Colorado last summer. I work from home as does her husband. We're pretty good friends - watch each other's house and pets, share excess garden produce, complain when the mail comes late ... pretty typical suburbanites. They're very active in their evangelical church where he is a drummer in the band. They accompanied my wife and I to see an LDS production of the "Lamb of God" last Easter in Denver. Didn't convince them to convert but you never know ...🙂

So how much were you paid to give this background information? Are you a Russian bot? A Chinese bot? A Swahili bot?

WHICH ROBOTIC OVERLORD DO YOU SERVE?????

"Weiser said the court has never weighed in on the nation’s various public accommodation laws that are rooted in civil rights era protections for African Americans. And he believes challenging these protections could be opening the entire country up to bigger discrimination problems. 

“This case would create a loophole that an individual could say, because I’m offering some product or service with an expressive element, I get to exclude, and you can fill in the blank here, it could be gays or lesbians, but it could be Jews or Mormons, or it could be African Americans,” he said. “That would be a revolution in our law that would be a radical step and it would undermine this core civil rights commitment that we’ve had for generations.”

This Colorado web designer doesn’t want to make wedding sites for same-sex couples. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether that’s legal | Colorado Public Radio (cpr.org)

Posting, just because I heard this statement on the radio.
