"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a narrow victory to a Christian baker from Colorado who
refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

The justices, in a 7-2 decision, faulted the Colorado Civil Rights Commission’s handling of the
claims brought against Jack Phillips, saying it had showed a hostility to religion. In doing so, the
commission violated his religious rights under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."

I wonder how 'narrow victory' is defined? Seems like a 7-2 decision is far from 'narrow'.


In the Supreme Court, 7-2 is a slam dunk.
