    I'm glad that an organization like the Iowa Bar Association is standing up for Justice Wiggins and trying to inform people what a retention vote really should be about. It makes me wonder if the US Supreme Court would have made any of their unpopular decisions if they were to be put up for a retention election. I also commend Justice Wiggins and the other three Justices who where voted out last time for choosing not to campaign and keeping politics out of the judicial system as much as they can. I plan on voting to retain Justice Wiggins because I don't believe that he has done anything to lose his position as a Supreme Court Justice.

    Well then, If it started that way, why would we change it? That's like changing McDonald's from fast food to a fancy italian resturant

    It is interesting that the pledge has been changed before... the "under God" part wasnt added until the 1950's http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm

    I don't think its discrimination. Because it's saying that God doesn't love gay people but that's quite opposite. Well that's what I believe anyway. I think we should leave the pledge the way it is because of tradition.

    america isn't all forced religion country so i can see why under god could upset people but it isn't that big of a deal
  • Victoria Kirk on 06 Sep 13
     
    It shouldn't matter that is not "forcing a religion" on to someone. Kids don't really think about the meaning of words that they repeat everyday.
  • sheagorman on 06 Sep 13
     
    i think its unnecessary to change it because its a free counrty you dont even have to say the pledge, also it doesnt say a certain god, just gid so that can mean any god you believe in

    he was only defending his religion and his believe just like they were and he hoped they could've seen it it too

    Despite his religious beliefs no body should have the right to discriminate against customers based on race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc. If the situation were reversed I am positive he would be outraged that someone discriminated against him based on his religious beliefs. He is using the excuse of "standing up for his religious beliefs" to hide his hateful homophobia.

    I think gay people can get wedding cakes, they just wants to do usual wedding system.
  • aruss77 on 04 Dec 17
     
    I think that as the owner of the bakery, he has the right to serve whoever he would like, it is ridiculous that some people would go as far as to sue someone for a stupid cake, grow up and get a life.Stop victimizing yourselves.
  • dmckiddy517 on 04 Dec 17
     
    I feel that the business owner can choose not give them the cake. A business has "the right to refuse service to anyone". Besides, its not like that business is the only place they can get their wedding cake.
  • nfahrenkrog on 04 Dec 17
     
    As the owner of the shop he should have the ability to refuse service to someone if their request goes against his beliefs, also the couple instead of just going to another place to get a cake and not causing all these problems decided to make it a big deal wasting time and money for both parties. Both parties involved are in the wrong

    Agreed Aaron

    I can see where both sides are coming from. But any business has the right to refuse to serve anyone they feel like. People may see it as wrong but any business can do this.

    Nobody should be discriminated against, but with our first amendment right says he legal does not have. "congress shall make no law respecting religion an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

    I wonder what is going to happen next.
  • bethanyfoley on 04 Dec 17
     
    I agree that he does have the right to deny service to people and it seems he was very polite about, even if I don't personally agree with it I still think he shouldn't be sued. Although I do find it interesting how in this article the couple didn't have any quotes or anything.

    To clarify, this article published in USToday was an editorial written BY the baker in this case to give his side. Also a good video with both sides explaining their views https://goo.gl/73fXsW Although I didn't find an article written by the couple, here is another NYTimes story which has some of the legal issues explained from their side. https://goo.gl/sAacw4
