Feels like we are in for decades of "cake wars" with a Supreme Court that is much more amenable to bible thumpers.

@flozen

I wonder how this ruling will affect the Religious Freedom Restoration Act; authored by Chuckles Schumer and passed by the extreme vast majority of both parties, in both Houses, and signed into law by Clinton.

If a business can legally refuse to offer services to LGBTs, based on their religious beliefs, then I don't understand this ruling.

Lot of businesses (bakers, printers, caterers, wedding planners, etc, etc, etc) have won in federal courts, despite state and local laws that counter RFRA.

@raphjd As fate would have it, Yeshiva U's NYC HQ is two blocks from me, the girls dress modestly while giggling quietly in groups -- and some of those guys are damn cute.

Back to the topic, seems that Kavanaugh and Roberts were a little miffed at the procedural maneuvers by which Yeshiva hoisted the case quickly onto the SC docket, rather than further adjudication at the state level.

I wouldn't see as Neil and John suddenly becoming LGBT allies. Still, interesting!
