strong religious objections to same-sex marriage. so this is this ruling coming out right now. jack phillips was the owner of that masterpiecke shop lakewood. the couple are charlie craig and david mullens. this just coming out right now. bill: the ruling is a 59-page decision and you will need a little time tgo through that. i don t think it will happen at the moment but trying to find at the moment how the justices broke down in a case like this, which could prove significant. a lot of observers on the right and left are waiting to see how a court under neil gorsuch and under the trump administration would rule in a case like this. they rule narrowly in favor of the colorado baker who would not bake that cake. sandra: the supreme court ruled 7-2 that colorado s
we thought over the years some were right for the court. they didn t take one until this case and it s specific and making the ruling specific as well but i think it will stand for a while because i think while these kinds of conversations continue going on with the makeup of the court and waiting to see if justice kennedy retires i think lgbt advocates will be hesitant to bring up another case with the supreme court as it stands today. sandra: fox news at night 11:00 p.m. eastern time. you ll have a long day. bill: lot more on this coming up. there is this. let s get to it. james mattis was in singapore over the weekend and listen to what he said. oh, gosh, it s off, a bad letter comes in. and immediately it s back up. welcome to reality. it s only on tv that everything
trump party. kevin mccarthy decided to push back against that and say this. so you know what? i m proud of this republican party. i m proud of what we ve been able to achieve. twmillion more jobs in america, yes, we are working hard exactly what we said we would do. that s a proud republican party, a party that stands on their principles and part of what we ran on and part of what we said we would do. you know what? we re accomplishing it. sandra: want to get your thoughts on that. this gets to an interesting question which kind of divide the republican party at least the conservative movement at this point. that s this, has trump had more impact on the republican party than it has had on him? you can make a pretty good case, sandra, the party and its ideas have had more impact on him than he has had on it. for example, on issues of the economy, deregulation and taxes, on military spending and the bolstering of our military to a more robust foreign policy
but the speaker was having a little fun there and he sounded to me like he was kind of riffing. i don t think there is yet a trump party. when trump is gone i think the republican party will still be the party of lower taxes, lighter regulations, strong defense and the rest of it. and mr. trump will go his way. the argument, of course, from a lot of conservatives is oh no, he will be a stain on the republican party forever and we may even need a new party to represent the conservative movement. i kind of doubt that. sandra: interesting stf. great to start off the week with you, brit. thank you. bill: the line of the morning. sandra: making a lot of noise over there. bill: u.s. supreme court now with a ruling narrowly in favor for the colorado baker who would not make a wedding cake for a same sex couple. you may recall this case now. his name is jack phillips.
broad sweeping it isn t saying that no one ever has to participate in a wedding ceremony if they re in this type of business but points back to the commissioner and says if there is obvious religious bias against someone belis you can t base a ous decision on that. there was a very pointed moment where justice kennedy was talking to the attorneys for the couple and said tolerance has to work both ways. i m very concerned by what i ve seen in this case that tolerance was not extended to mr. jack phillips the baker because of his religious beliefs. you didn t want to pin too much one way or the other on that statement when he made it during the arguments. he was tough on both sides and you never know if he is playing devil s advocate or trying to still make up his own mind. that moment really stood out. it was clear he thought this baker had not gotten a fair shake. it looks like in the decision today he is pointing back to that language from the
