New York Attorney General Letitia James keeps busy. When she's not tweeting Donald Trump's fine and interest, she's interfering with other states.
If you think the lawfare against Trump is bad, though, Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips can't go a day without being sued. If you remember, he was the Colorado baker who was sued because he wouldn't make a cake for a same-sex wedding as it clashed with his Christian beliefs. The Supreme Court finally ruled in his favor: he'd happily sell a cake to the lesbian couple, but he couldn't be compelled to make one from scratch. That didn't stop the lawsuits, though. Every LGBTQ person in Colorado has harassed him.
He’s been in and out of court several times — he’s a target now — having been dragged back to court in 2018 after the Colorado Civil Rights Commission again filed suit against him for turning down a customer who wanted a gender transition celebration cake. The last we heard, a Colorado court ruled that Phillips has to create cakes celebrating sex reassignment.
I've been following this charade since 2012. Now it's 2024 and I'm writing about Philips again. James, who's suing the world's largest beef producer "for misleading the public about its environmental impact," has inserted herself into the latest Masterpiece Cakeshop case.
Masterpiece Cakeshop, a Colorado bakery, refused to make a customer a cake when they found out it was to celebrate her transition.

This bakery has discriminated against LGBTQ+ people before, and I'm urging the Colorado Supreme Court to stop this transphobic discrimination.
It might be time for Colorado to open a second bakery. https://t.co/xgzEC5PbM8

Right? It's too bad they can't find another bakery that's happy to make their gender transition cake. It has to be this one.
Your hatred of the First Amendment aligns with your hatred of other parts of rule of law. You are a bad person.

Religious freedom, sweetheart.

It's already been addressed by SCOTUS.
None of your business

This is not discrimination. The idea that a person can change their sex from male to female or vice versa is contrary to the bakery owner's religious beliefs. He has won these arguments in the Supreme Court before.

Give it up.
The way you frame it (which is the truth), there was no discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.

Should a Jewish baker be forced to make a pro-Hamas cake?
Never mind. I think that is the wrong hypothetical to present to you.
What is going on?

I mean, besides the part where the Democrats want you to know that, if you defy their ideology, they will hunt you down and sue you into oblivion for the rest of your life
Besides that https://t.co/wI9CNiHBM1
James is just looking out for those trans people in Colorado who want to force a Christian baker to make them a celebration cake. That's just terrible LGBTQ discrimination. Those poor gay and trans people can't find another bakery.
