      The second decision is from Kennedy: Hughes v. US, reversing the 11th Circuit. Roberts dissented, joined by Thomas and Alito. Sotomayor concurred. #SCOTUS

      Justices out of order —> Alito has the opinion in Koons v. US, affirming the 8th Circuit in a unanimous decision.

      On page 3 of Alito's decision, it cites to the Hughes decision, which explains why the Hughes decision had to come first.

      BREAKING: #SCOTUS rules in Masterpiece Cakeshop that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's actions violated the Free Exercise Clause. Justice Kennedy writes the opinion of the court. Only Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissent.

      Reading from the bench, Justice Anthony Kennedy says that when the Colorado Civil Rights Commission considered the Masterpiece Cakeshop matter "it did not do so with the religious neutrality that the Constitution requires."

      A 7 to 2 vote is "narrowly" ?

          Write a headline that's not misleading.

          Replying to @LWinthorpeIII @chrisgeidner and

          "Narrowly" in SCOTUS terms doesn't have anything to do with the breakdown of the vote, it has to do with whether a ruling is "broad", meaning it sets a large precedent for the system, or "narrow", meaning that it does not.

          I know, which they should say in the headline or not use the word.

          If you know then what's the issue? People that watch the court understand the context. The headline said that the ruling was narrow, not the vote. So...?

          The decision is narrow in scope. It wasn’t decided ‘narrowly’. Only 2 Justices dissented. Correct word usage, please.
