When people get refused service for MAGA hats or because of being Christian they will throw a fit but they dug the hole for themselves here.

You're presuming that the laws will be applied equitably, which is unlikely to be the case.

Like I said, it will backfire. When people get refused service for MAGA hats or because of being Christian they will throw a fit but they dug the hole for themselves here.

No, it won't. Laws are not applied equally in the U.S. This ruling exists purely for regressive states to use as a tool to exclude and victimize anyone not in the white christian republican demographic.

Then SCOTUS will just decide that the law is so convoluted that you can't discriminate against a Christian or a right winger, but discrimination against a liberal, non-Christian, LGBTQ person, etc is just fine.

They don't care about looking like they're setting double standards. They'll claim it's a perfectly straightforward rule that respects everyone's rights even as it creates second class citizens out of entire groups of people.

You're asking about the same court who found standing for striking down the student debt thing?

in other words, this iteration of SCOTUS finds standing insofar as it fits their political whims regardless of actual legal grounding (unfortunately).

The same way that the Texas court found standing to ban the abortion drug because "the doctors suing might someday have a patient who took the drug and had a negative reaction requiring them to treat her."

They invent standing wherever it's required to get their agenda passed.
