our first time doing a hand off. i know in your last segment, you re talking about the supreme court. we re gonna pick it up right here at 10:00. i m sure you will, my friend. have a good hour. thanks, ayman. and on the last day of pride 2023, the republican appointed justices on the supreme court in shrine discrimination against lgbtq people in a case deliberately brought to advance conservative interests in a favorable court. of course, it was about a wedding website. it was decided that in the evangelical website design or in colorado would not have to design the website for same-sex couple because it would violate her first amendment right by forcing her to say something she didn t believe. here is the thing, no gay couple actually asked for this evangelical website designers work. the conservative legal interest groups created out of cloth this fever dream that an evangelical wedding website design or what have her rights hypothetically challenged if a hypothetical s
