Agenda corrupts arithmetic
On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of individual religious liberty in Masterpiece Cakeshop v Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
The decision may portend a new Supreme Court majority, one that recognizes the guaranteed rights of the individual over the pressures of cultural-interest groups and governmental clampdown dictates.
But the New York Times, NBCNews.com, Reuters, Politico, and USA Today all minimized the significance of the hefty majority decision by deceptively characterizing it as "narrow."
Huh? 5-4 is narrow. 6-3 is only marginally better. But 7-2 is within hailing distance of the Rock of Gibraltar.
Roe v Wade also was a 7-2 Supreme Court decision. Ever hear mainstream media dismiss it as a "narrow" ruling, the implication being that it was of dubious worth?
