Excellent summary and analysis.

Truly, what irritates me most about the conservative super majority is their blatantly selective and inconsistent application of legal principles. There really is no doubt in my mind that in this case, if the term "Gay" had been replaced with "Black," this court would not have ruled as it did--they wouldn't have dared. That their biases are showing so glaringly bright begs the question: Are they just deluding themselves and have convinced themselves they are being fair and reasonable OR are they acting consciously with conscious intent to enact their own legislative agenda from the bench? As much as I would dearly love to grant them some small tiny benefit of the doubt, any doubt as to which it is is answered by the fact 303 Creative HAD NO STANDING to bring the case. There was no case! To have standing to sue in court, there must be a "case" which requires somebody suffered an actual injury and there was no injury here. It was just a hypothetical t'd up for the Republican agenda and 6 justices merrily took the swing on behalf of the Republican agenda.

The court has lost all legitimacy. It must be expanded, not to pack it with liberals, but rather to add justices who actually follow the law and rules of standing, follow stare decisis, engage in ethical conduct and proper recusal, and who rule according to the Constitution, not according to the platform of a political party. It is not that we need more liberals on the Court. We need more competent and ethical people on the court!!!! Is that too much to ask?
