Geee Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Washington Times The Supreme Court delivered victory to yet another Christian bakery Monday, erasing a lower court’s ruling that had upheld penalties on the owners of an Oregon bakery who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. The justices vacated that lower court decision and ordered a do-over in line with the Supreme Court’s ruling last year where the justices found anti-religious sentiments poisoned Colorado’s case against a different baker. The Oregon case involved Melissa and Aaron Klein, who closed their bakery after the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries fined them more than $130,000 for refusing to create a cake for a same-sex wedding, saying the couple violated the state’s public accommodation law. It’s the latest in a series of clashes between devout business owners and states’ accommodation laws. Last June, the court delivered a similar victory to Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop in Colorado. The justices ordered a do-over after finding the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had acted with religious animus when investigating the baker’s actions.
