The Supreme Court ALLEGEDLY violated Article III of the Constitution by deciding a case based on hypotheticals and a fabricated name. This goes against the principle that the Court's jurisdiction is limited to actual cases and controversies.

MY THOUGHTS ARE 💭:

Before you hear this story it's important you understand the powers of the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court's authority is confined to resolving real and specific legal disputes. Article III of the U.S. Constitution establishes the judicial power of federal courts, emphasizing the need for actual cases and controversies. The Court does not issue advisory opinions or decide hypothetical or abstract legal questions. The requirement of a genuine case or controversy ensures that the Court's decisions have a practical impact on the rights and interests of the involved parties, allowing for concrete resolution of legal disputes.

THE ISSUE AT HAND:

Stewart, a web designer based in Portland, Oregon, was surprised to receive a text from a reporter informing him that a request he supposedly made in 2016 was now part of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. The request involved hiring a Colorado artist to create designs and possibly a website for his same-sex wedding. However, Stewart, who has been married to a woman for 15 years, is not gay. He is an advocate for LGBTQ rights and found it frustrating to see his name being used in this context.

CONTEXT:

The Supreme Court recently ruled 6-to-3 in favor of a Christian graphic artist, Lorie Smith, who argued that her freedom of speech allowed her to refuse designing wedding websites for same-sex couples. Smith's case was initially filed in 2016 in a Colorado district court, where she claimed that the state's anti-discrimination law violated her rights by prohibiting her from stating on her company's webpage that she would not create wedding websites for gay couples.

In the court documents, Smith's lawyers referred to a query they attributed to an individual named Stewart, matching the contact information of the person interviewed by The Washington Post. The message supposedly requested Smith's services for Stewart's upcoming wedding to someone named "Mike." The inclusion of this message played a role in the case's proceedings.

Turd watch! Fascist pig!

What a day.

[derChef @sombrerochef]

the Speaker of MAGA House is a LIAR. Trump increased the deficit 40 PERCENT. Raised the debt ceiling three times with no spending cuts. He ought to be tarred and feathered.

[derChef @sombrerochef]

It’s the right thing to do, sir.

Thanks, @BillyBaldwin!

Senator John Fetterman should be commended for his bravery. Admitting depression isn’t easy. I like him even more now, agree?

[derChef @sombrerochef]

This is an environmental disaster! Fuck partisanship!

[Lindy Li @lindyli]

Biden called Ohio Gov Mike DeWine & said “we’ll give you anything you need”

DeWine has NOT EVEN CALLED HIM BACK cuz he’s “not seeing a problem”

The WORST environmental crisis in US history isn’t a problem to you?

Americans not having clean air or water isn’t a problem to you?!

[derChef @sombrerochef]

Fight the fight, Senator Fetterman! I fight daily.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I admire Senator John Fetterman for openly seeking treatment for depression at Walter Reed.

Back in 2010, I was hospitalized for depression. I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.

Millions of Americans are rooting for you, Senator.

A cat was saved from under the rubble in Turkey. It now refuses to leave its rescuer's side.

This family deserves our support on the days ahead, as does every family dealing with Alzheimer’s & dementia, & every caregiver working 24/7 on the frontlines of humanity. I also hope prying photographers will not chase this man and his family. Please respect their journey ahead.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

My heart goes out to Bruce Willis and his family, & also my gratitude for shining a much needed light on this disease. When people step forward it helps all of us. When people get a diagnosis it’s extremely difficult, but also for most a relief to get a diagnosis.

Congress just passed an $858 billion annual military budget. This is an $80 billion increase from last year.

The cost to replace every lead pipe in our country? $60 billion.
