DC: A federal judge in Denver rejected Colorado’s bid to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that state civil rights officials are waging a campaign of harassment against Jack Phillips, the Christian baker at issue in the landmark Masterpiece Cakeshop case.
The decision, released Friday, concludes that Phillips has developed at least some evidence of misconduct by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
Three weeks after Phillips prevailed at the Supreme Court, a state anti-discrimination panel issued a new probable cause finding against him, arising from his refusal to create a gender transition cake for a would-be patron called Autumn Scardina. In turn, Phillips’ attorneys charged the panel with acting in bad faith, and asked a federal court to stop the new prosecution.
“Colorado is acting in bad faith and with bias toward Jack,” said Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorney Jim Campbell, who represents Phillips. “We look forward to moving forward with this lawsuit to ensure that Jack isn’t forced to create custom cakes that express messages in conflict with his faith.”
The state asked U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel to dismiss the lawsuit on three grounds: First, the state argued that the case should be dismissed because of legal rules that forbid federal courts from intervening in ongoing state court proceedings. Second, Colorado said that the 11th Amendment — which generally forbids lawsuits against state officials — bars Phillips’ suit. Daniel rejected those arguments. read more
…and still, NO ONE has sued a single Muslim baker for the EXACT SAME THING…

Little people with their little fists full of power.
What goes around comes around eventually. I hope that panel of bullies gets what’s coming to them.
“…(Colorado) state civil rights officials are waging a campaign..”
Administrative Deep State. I’ve never seen the office of “civil rights” on a ballot, have you?
Why don’t the lawyers go for that angle? Take it to the SCOTUS and see what happens. Any lawyers want to make a name for themselves?
I have a theory: A lot of faggots are disgusting pigs and twisted psychopaths, who should be tossed off buildings before they turn this entire society into a Satanic wonderland.
this is what happens when you elect depraved perverts. We saw this with obomba. They stack the departments with fellow travelers and attack the normals.
Hope he wins a ton of money. Then Oregon’s official, who did the same thing, can sweat his gay ass off while waiting to be sued. The faggots should have to pay, not the tax payers.
AWESOME! 😀
I’d tell the Denver queerbos where to stick their cake… but they’d probably ENJOY that… :barf:
End qualified immunity for government jackboots.
They attack citizens with the understanding that they can’t personally be sued for using the boot of their public offices for stomping on human faces forever.
Send a few of them into bankruptcy and watch their fellow cocksuckers learn. I meant cockroaches. Honest mistake.
Honest. Just like maliciously targeting the same baker again after he won a Supreme Court case.
Let me rephrase that one line: “There is a rule against having the Federal government intervene when the state is in the process of screwing somebody. Until that person pays the gazillion dollar fine he cannot go to the Feds because the state proceedings are still in progress, but he won’t be able to afterwards because the state would have left him penniless and unable to appeal to the Feds, which, of course, is the whole idea.”
