apparently it's narrow; they basically can go appeal the Colorado decision again and this time Colorado is supposed to factor in 'sincere religious beliefs'

but wouldn't that then mean that the cake is baked on this, so to speak? they'll have to then affirm they can deny service because the Bible says so

im seeing its not narrow

maybe once moz becomes governor he'll put you on SCOPA

I made the same mistake in reading the article about the decision.

Completely tone deaf, absolutely out of step, and he seems to think that if he said something out loud that’s gracious then it is somewhat better than a personal apology. What a strange strange time we live in.

I guess Bill will get to sit out the midterms. I guess he can keep Hillary company.

7 in favor and two oppose. Kagan and Breyer in the Majority.

You can have all these cakes and pies and cookies, but not this special cake.

Where do we go from here? And to what other cases would this apply.

This is my brain on too much cake, actually ice cream, but that did not fit.

Huh? No Cake for you!

Block party at Lafayette Square then compare crowd size

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Anti-corruption investigators questioned the wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Tuesday about alleged theft and money-laundering involving the 1MDB state investment fund, as officials announced a probe into other suspicious multibillion-dollar transactions under Najib's leadership.

The prosecution of Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor over the 1MDB scandal, which helped lead to Najib's stunning ouster in May 9 national elections, could be sped up with the government's appointment Tuesday of a new attorney-general.

The appointee, distinguished lawyer Tommy Thomas, is the first person from outside Malaysia's Malay majority to hold the powerful position in more than half a century. His Najib-appointed predecessor had stifled investigations

Najib set up the 1MDB fund when he took power in 2009 but it accumulated billions in debts. U.S. investigators say Najib's associates stole and laundered $4.5 billion from the fund from 2009 to 2014, some of which landed in Najib's bank account. They say $27.3 million was used to buy a rare diamond necklace for Rosmah.

New Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad reopened investigations into 1MDB that were suppressed under Najib's rule. He has also banned the couple from leaving the country. The country's new anti-graft chief has said Najib, who denies any wrongdoing, could soon face criminal charges.
