The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Monday for 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis and consider whether the state of Colorado can compel a web designer to create messages that violate her religious beliefs. The case is an opportunity for the court to expand its decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop v.…

and make clear that people of all religions and backgrounds have the right to live in accordance with their convictions without fear of retaliation., though the central question of the case is different. Like Colorado baker Jack Phillips, graphic designer Lorie Smith is a Christian who wants to run a business in accordance with her religious beliefs. She would like to create custom wedding websites for her clients.

is whether the state can use public accommodation laws to override citizens’ First Amendment rights. If the state can force Smith to speak a message with which she disagrees, it can force anyone else to do the same. It could, for example, force a pro-choice photographer to create images celebrating the pro-life cause or force an atheist filmmaker to create a video promoting Christianity.

As long as that speech is not CRT, gay or trans, or black history. Also republicans fight for free speech by banning books and arguing they should legally be able to discriminate. Republicans have a weird definition of freedom. Freedom for me but not for thee.

This is Democracy.

That’s antisemitic, or so I’m told.

I agree. but will they.

A lot of things that are legal may still be against one's conscience or religion. Should someone who is opposed to marijuana be allowed to refuse to create marijuana sale signs? It seems legality isn't intended to create this kind of imperative.

The court will side with her, but she will be hit with one frivolous lawsuit after another by the state, until she runs out of money and is forced to close. The cake baker is still getting hit with lawsuits in his state, even after the courts agreed with him.

Fair just honest and well intentioned speech should be free

It will.. thats their purpose
