It was 7 - 2 yet every news outlet says Gay Cake was a 'narrow ruling' | |
| Coppercoal Offer Upgrade  User ID: 40254849  United States06/04/2018 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is this I see in the media? Every news outlet says the Gay Cake ruling was a 'narrow ruling'. But read deeper into the story and you will find the decision was 7 - 2. That's over 77% of the Supreme Court... what is the media trying to do?  An example... ----- In narrow ruling, Supreme Court gives victory to baker who refused to make cake for gay wedding The U.S. Supreme Court gave a boost to advocates of religious freedom on Monday, ruling that a Colorado baker cannot be forced to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, in a case that involved marriage equality and protection from discrimination. But the opinion was a narrow one, applying to the specific facts of this case only. It gave no hint as to how the court might decide future cases involving florists, bakers, photographers and other business owners who have cited religious and free-speech objections when refusing to serve gay and lesbian customers in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2015 same-sex marriage decision. ----- SNIP ----- Source: [link to www.nbcnews.com (secure)] ----- Any thoughts?

I get what they are saying in that the decision applies to this case ONLY and it's scope is limited. Narrow is leading the casual reader down a path of misinformation. Intentionally so, OR, the main outlet that wrote the story (that others copy and paste) is impaired when it comes to the English language. The correct word in place of "narrow" is limited. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 68702654 United States06/04/2018 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The media is using the words opinion and ruling as though they are the same. Only the OPINION was narrow. The ruling was most decisive. The want to refer to the opinion as being narrow to emphasize that it covers a LIMITED area of thinking and does not cover all things. Saying that the RULING was narrow is F A K E news. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76509910 United States06/04/2018 12:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By narrow they mean in the legal sense not in vote. The ruling only applies to the one specific incident and does not rule on the conditionality of the Colorado law itself, so basically it's narrow in the scope of law, it solves nothing except this one incident |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 54168564 United States06/04/2018 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I take "narrow ruling" to mean it's not a ruling that will have a broad impact. It's not a class action lawsuit, for example, which would be something with a broad impact. "Narrow ruling" does not equal "narrow vote." You're thinking of a narrow vote, which of course, it was not. |
