Legitimacy of 'customer' in Supreme Court gay rights case raises ethical and legal flags

This happens all the time though? Rosa Parks’ demonstration was similarly staged:

Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation,[3] but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believed that she was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge

from her wiki.

Yeah it’s slimy and obviously for the wrong reasons in this case, but is the practice of staging these cases inherently wrong? Idk.

edit: reading further it seems they lied 😪 why are they always lying

Do we have to be in a religion to deny services to someone in a maga or prolife hat?

I'll join that religion.

Those were never protected classes, so you can feel free to do that even without their terrible ruling.

I can't say I ever expected to see the Supreme Court rule on hypothetical situations. Modernity is wild.

This ain't new over all as many cases were set up to go SC.

What's new is that they didn't even try to set this up properly. Like no lawyer or journalist checked the facts... Wow

I remember when the justices were going through supreme court confirmation hearings and they said they couldn't answer hypotheticals. Turns out they were lying to get the job and they CAN use hypotheticals to strip away citizen's rights they don't like.
