Jack Phillips is back in court, and every American has a stake in the outcome.
The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, is best known already for winning a 2018 decision in the U.S. Supreme Court over his treatment by the state’s laughably named Civil Rights Commission and its blatant discrimination against his Christian beliefs.
Now, he’s in a courtroom again, with those same beliefs under a new attack.
Phillips’ antagonist, as ABC News reported, is a transgender attorney named Autumn Scardina, who is suing Phillips for alleged discrimination over Phillips’ refusal in 2017 to bake a cake to celebrate what Scardina described in the original complaint to the Civil Rights Commission as “my transition from male to female.”
According to ABC, the cake order came on the same day that the Supreme Court announced it would hear Phillips’ case against the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which he claimed the commission was biased against his religion during a hearing over his refusal to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.
How many times is Jack Phillips going to find himself dragged into court because he won’t bake a cake. https://t.co/EaFvJO1tC4

Too stupid for words, even for a lawyer.
I’d bake the cake with a healthy does of laxatives added in.
these people only go there because they know he will turn them down. is this just to take him to court?
That’s what Fascism looks like
