If I was the judge and the law said that's what the fine was for not making a butch cake, then yes I would fine them that. A judge is supposed to rule by the law. It wouldn't mean I agreed with it, but I would be bound to enforce it.
It's not a fine, it's a judgment for damages in a civil case.
Who in their right mind would think that they were 'damaged' $135k? This was punishment, not damages.
