Really?

CNBC said it was a "narrow" victory. I thought that meant it was 5-4.

That's like betting that water is wet.

And yes, they were the dissents.

I think they know they are purposefully misleading, but can go back and explain that it was “narrow,” because they are not extending the rights to photographers, makeup artists, etc etc.

The filth that is our liberal media. Just a shame.

I know.

It simply says that you can do EXACTLY what people asked for the right to do that the left didn't wish to allow.

Like I said though. The left portrays ALL non-favorable rulings as narrow.

Ya, that's what they are saying.

They ruled 7-2 that the commission violated the first amendment and acted unconstitutionally in how they handled the baker's case.

That is different than holding that what the baker did is allowed.

Total bullshite. You're parsing words to suit your agenda. Tell it to the trees.

If the holding is that you can’t compel people to take part in the ceremony, then this likely will extend to that family who denied use of their farm to a gay couple wanting to get married somewhere on the Atlantic seaboard.

That's a really weird way to word that, and you have to believe they are acting I good faith instead of trying to set the tone for the idiot liberals to believe it.

List of sites who use the word narrowly in describing the SC decision.

Politco
CNN
CNBC
(Holy hell) Fox News
NPR
NBC News
Washington Post

USA Today used divided to describe the decision (technically correct but to a degree still misleading)

The only major sources I've seen so far that did not use narrowly (other than USA Today) are the New York Times and the New York Post.

Yup, sounds like it was a narrow ruling. The commission violated the baker's rights when it treated his case differently than other similarly situated cases before it.

It is still undecided if you can or cannot refuse service in this manner.

No side won that point.

I cannot think of a single case in my adult lifetime that did not go the way of liberals where the media didn't call it a "narrow" ruling.

Not one.



Even when Obama got ruled against 9-0 by the SC? I think there were a handful of those rulings against him and his pen and paper rulings.

I see that Affirmative Action Justice Sotomayor voted as expected. She's such a Wise Latina.

The melt from the left and anyone who want to squash freedom of religion, or just freedom of choice in general.

It looks like the vote was just that the previous court violated something and the ruling was on "that", not actually on the ability of the baker to refuse service. Which sucks. I want to see libs crying today.

USA Today headline: 3 years after same-sex marriage ruling, protections for LGBT families undermined

The wording here is deplorable. "Protection" is an absolutely ridiculous term to use in this instance.
