Wow, talk about sour grapes. Reacting to Monday’s massive, 7-2 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of the Christian bakers with Masterpiece Cakeshop, CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin went into full-blown panic mode, claiming that “[t]his is certainly an invitation to people who discriminate against gay people” and opens the door to Jim Crow-like discrimination against interracial and interfaith couples.

From the moment morning CNN Newsroom anchor Poppy Harlow gave Toobin the floor to comment, he was off and running, first lamenting that “this is an enormous defeat for the gay rights movement” in that there’s now a question of whether there’s “limits in terms of religious people when they're allowed to discriminate.”
