A U.S. Supreme Court
ruling Monday in favor of a
Colorado baker who refused
to sell a custom wedding cake
to a gay couple because of his
religious beliefs is unlikely to
resolve a similar case that has
been appealed to the Oregon
Supreme Court.
The opinion by Justice
Anthony Kennedy deter-
mined that members of the
Colorado Civil Rights Com-
mission showed anti-reli-
gious bias toward Colorado
baker Jack Phillips, owner of
Masterpiece Cakeshop, in its
enforcement of anti-discrim-
ination laws.
But the court’s decision
stopped short of resolving
whether merchants who have
religious objections to gay
marriage can refuse com-
mercial services to same-sex
couples.
“Importantly,
the
Supreme Court today pro-
tected the core principles of
our nondiscrimination laws,
expressly recognizing that
states can seek to prevent the
harms of discrimination in
the marketplace, including
against LGBT people,” said
Diane Goodwin in a joint
statement from Basic Rights
Oregon and ACLU of Ore-
gon. “The court did not give
businesses the broad right to
discriminate.”
The Supreme Court
ruled 7 to 2 in favor of Phil-
lips’ argument that Colo-
rado civil rights commis-
sioners made statements that
showed anti-religious bias.
Phillips declined to sell a
custom-made cake to Char-

lie Craig and Dave Mullins
for the couple’s commitment
ceremony. The Supreme
Court opinion departed from
Justice Kennedy’s history
of supporting gay rights,
including the court’s 2015
ruling legalizing gay mar-
riage nationwide.
At the time that Phil-
lips refused to sell the cake
to Craig and Mullins in July
2012, same-sex marriage was
not yet legal in Colorado.
The Oregon Court of
Appeals in December upheld
a $135,000 fi ne by the Ore-
gon Bureau of Labor and
Industries against Melissa
and Aaron Klein, owners of
Gresham’s Sweet Cakes by
Melissa, for refusing to sell a
wedding cake to lesbian cou-
ple Rachel and Laurel Bow-
man-Cryer in 2013.
The Kleins have sought

review of their case by
the
Oregon
Supreme
Court, which is still under
consideration.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s
June 4 ruling is unlikely to
infl uence the outcome of the
Sweet Cakes case because
it applied narrowly to the
details of the Colorado case,
said Paul Thompson, attor-
ney for the Bowman-Cryers.

“I believe the Colorado
case was more Justice Ken-
nedy saying that the Colo-
rado Civil Rights Commis-
sion was not neutral and
was more animus against the
baker,” Thompson said.
Attorney Adam Gus-
tafson, who, along with
national religious law fi rm
First Liberty Institute, rep-
resents the Kleins, disagreed
with Thompson’s analysis.
“The Oregon Bureau of
Labor and Industries deci-
sion against the Kleins was
tainted by the same anti-re-
ligious bias that caused the
U.S. Supreme Court to rule
for Masterpiece Cakeshop on
free exercise grounds,” Gus-
tafson said.
Gustafson was referenc-
ing Facebook posts by Ore-
gon Labor Commissioner
Brad Avakian. Court doc-
uments show that Avakian
posted a link to a KGW arti-
cle about the case and wrote:
“Everyone has a right to their
religious beliefs, but that
doesn’t mean they can dis-
obey laws that are already in
place.”
Jim Oleske, professor at
Lewis & Clark Law School
who fi led a friend-of-the-
court brief in the case, said
the kind of bias the Kleins
are alleging is different from
the anti-religious statements
by members of the Colo-
rado civil rights commission-
ers and would have a higher
standard of proof.

Video shows police
repeatedly punching
man in Oregon
Associated Press
SALEM — Civil rights
groups in Oregon are calling
for an investigation after a
video showed police punch-
ing a prone man in the head
at least 16 times.
The video shows four
offi cers converging on a man
standing on a street, then
pulling him to the ground,
with three offi cers hold-
ing his limbs and one strad-
dling his back. As one offi -
cer appears to struggle to
force one of the man’s arms
behind his back, another
begins punching him in the
head.
Through the punches, the
man, identifi ed as 28-year-
old Kevin Straw, repeat-
edly shouts “I am not resist-
ing.” The video was shot by
Portland, Oregon, TV station
KGW.
The American Civil
Liberties Union and the
state chapter of the Coun-
cil on American-Islamic
Relations both called for
investigations.
The Marion County Sher-
iff’s Offi ce said the arrest
happened Monday after
Straw repeatedly shouted
at offi cers involved in the
search for two missing fi sh-
ermen in the Detroit area.
Oregon to lead national suit
against CenturyLink
SALEM (AP) — Ore-
gon will lead a national
class-action lawsuit against
internet and TV provider
CenturyLink, over allega-
tions including fraudulent
accounts and billing.
The designation is the
latest development after
the 2017 beginning of the
lawsuit, which alleged the
company pushed employ-
ees to secretly add services
and charges to customer
accounts. When the alle-
gations came to light, Cen-
turyLink stock declined
sharply in value.
A federal judge con-
fi rmed that the troubled
Oregon Public Employees
Retirement Fund would
be the lead plaintiff in the
case. The Oregon trea-
surer and attorney gen-
eral announced the devel-
opment Tuesday, saying
the state had suffered $6
million in losses after the
stock dive.
Losses from the alleged
actions are part of larger
challenges facing state
pension
planners,
as
increasing pension bills
have driven some munici-
palities into dire budgetary
straits.
