Religious liberty advocates scored a victory on Monday as the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 decision, ruled that a Christian baker could not be compelled to bake a cake for a gay marriage. MSNBC immediately offered a nothing-to-see-here tone, throwing some cold water on the win. MSNBC Live host Hallie Jackson asked a legal analyst: “Do you believe that religious liberties advocates will try to run a victory lap here?”

Well, yes. After a high profile victory, the people involved tend to take a victory lap. Analyst Danny Cevallos told Jackson that “it is a victory.” Earlier, Jackson summarized another MSNBC analyst as calling the ruling “one and done.”

She hedged: “What kind of broader national implications, if any, does this decision have?” Cevallos insisted that the whole win was obvious: “This decision isn't a surprise. At oral argument, the court indicated that it might be leaning towards the baker in this case.”

The Supreme Court’s decision is narrowly written. However, a win’s a win. And this is one that religious liberty advocates had been eagerly hoping for. A 2013 MRC study found that cable news has a tendency to allow liberals to dominate when a Court ruling goes their way. But when conservatives win, the right doesn’t get to do a “victory lap.”
