"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a narrow victory to a Christian baker from Colorado who
refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

The justices, in a 7-2 decision, faulted the Colorado Civil Rights Commission’s handling of the
claims brought against Jack Phillips, saying it had showed a hostility to religion. In doing so, the
commission violated his religious rights under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."

I wonder how 'narrow victory' is defined? Seems like a 7-2 decision is far from 'narrow'.


Well dem folks caint have their cake and eat it too. Seems to me
the Huffington Post is on the side of right in this matter.




D'uh. The court didn't rule on whether the bakery had the right to
discriminate. It ruled on the process the Colorado commission followed.
That's where the "narrow victory" posit comes from...
