I think both sides were up for this fight because otherwise there were many more paths of lesser effort for this to take than to be at the Supreme Court.

Why these baker's why this case there are dozens of examples daily where muslim staff at supermarkets will refuse to handle pork or alcohol and no one cares. Is it ok for them to do that in a service orientated business where anyone with a mid range double IQ knows if you get a job at Sainsbury's or Tesco you will be dealing with alcohol and pork.

Maybe because is this because the law is applied at a business level and not at an indivdual level. In Sainsbury's or Tesco someone else will be available to sell you the product whereas in this case the shop itself refused to service them. If the bakers had said they personally couldn't do it but they'll get another member of staff to do so instead then there wouldn't be a problem.
Unless the law is different in N.Ireland.
