The Supreme Court Doesn’t Care That the Gay Wedding Website Case Is Based on Fiction

It still feels unnerving to some, even those caught in the crossfire, to see injuries invented wholesale and lies accepted by the highest court in the land.

Precedent set, no injured party required. I look forward to all the future cases. Good job Roberts. /s

Can we call them Prima Farcie cases?

Anything that supports their bigotry, doesn't need to be true.

"I'm not interested in reality" really sums up their entire position at this point.

Much like the MAGA twits, I mean individuals.

Yeah this one is almost scarier than any other for the precedent it sets. While most of the actual decisions this term were bad but par for the course of a conservative majority court (with a few pleasant surprises like rejecting racial gerrymandering, dismissing independent legislature theory, and reaffirming Native adoptions) this case was uniquely dangerous for being just conjured from thin air. The idea that you can take an issue to court over something that was proven to be entirely hypothetical prepares the way for more ready-made cases designed to create a particular legal outcome.
