discriminate based on gender identity, based on race, based on religion. you know it s a slippery slope argument. would you similarly say a web designer doesn t have to make a cake for an inter racial marriage because they don t agree with that from their religious point of view. i think we are stretching the lori smith case. she has a fundamental concern. it s not the people. it s i don t want to write speech. i have to write content and create beautiful imagery on something that violates my faith. that s her case. we vice president seen a ruling yet. it sounds favorable from what folks are saying. it is because we protect speech. it is a bedrock principle. it is so important that no one, not even a paying customer compels someone else to have to say or write words they don t agree with. i think that s the american we want to live in. i want to live in a world
where everybody gets served. i want to live some a world where judgments aren t made based on religious conviction. you respectfully didn t answer me. i think the web designer could say, oh, my god, it s an inter racial marriage, i m not designing a website. the baker could say i m not going to bake a cake for them. i want everybody to get served. i ll give you the final word. go ahead. americans want to know that we live in a place that protects freedom and their religious views but not a place where weight staff can say i am bigoted, intolerant of other people who simply believe differently so i won t put food on the table. thank you, victoria. appreciate you being here. thanks for having me. hit me up on twitter, youtube, facebook, et cetera. this is wrong. it was wrong to deny a cake to a gay couple too. but the right started the slippery slope. again, i m not going to get into
while just 6% want a complete ban without exceptions that s down from 11%. so there is a lot of numbers there. but david, what do you take away from that? what are those numbers telling you? jessica, they tell me when roe v. wade was overturned, the slippery slope argument changed hands from republicans to democrats. when roe v. wade was the law of the land, republicans could say well, wait, what do democrats want? do they want the right to abortion after 20 weeks, 25 weeks, 30 weeks? it s a slippery slope. what about late term abortions? now that roe v. wade was overturned, democrats have a slippery slope argument and can go out on the campaign trail and say wait a second, why are all these states now having laws on the books that say there is either only an exception for abortion for rape or insist for abortions or even no exception
[cheers and applause] pete: great to see you all. fun to be king of late night for one night. thank you to greg for giving me the shot. will, you you know what makes those stories all interesting? nashville tennessee, texas, virginia. not oregon, not washington, not massachusetts. these are states where we thought we were rolling this back. is this kind of thing in texas? absolutely. it is literally as you point out everywhere. there s going to be pockets of appropriately named resistance. and it s reaching it s well past. we have reached terminal velocity. we ve reached absurdity. you don t like the slippery slope argument. how do you get tethered from reality to a tendered binary. so students should loan it. what about trans intellect? i identify as valedictorian. once you re untethered from reality no way to bring you back. pete: where could we go with that?
homosexuality and same-sex marriages. is this a slippery slope argument, are people being a lrmists, or is that going to happen? i don t think so. it s the same point, it may be that justice kavanaugh tries to reassure us, but what is going to happen, a red state is going to pass a law that says you can t have a same-sex marriage or the governor of mississippi said maybe they ll pass a law against contraception. then someone is going to be injured, someone will try to get a license and not be able to get it, and there will be a lawsuit. and it will go up to the supreme court. what do they do then? do they duck it? and they have said, look, there is zero interest in the woman for the abortion decision, and that reasoning, many people have pointed out, extends to these kinds of things justice thomas is talking about. so the trigger they ve put in the hand here, it s not the goodwill of the nine or five justices, it s individual red
