Chelsea and I look at the recent Supreme Court ruling on a case weighing the First Amendment's "free speech" clause against state "anti-discrimination" laws.
In 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, Christian web designer Lorie Smith wanted to expand her skills into the wedding business. Because she believes the Bible defines marriage as between one man and one woman, she sought a preemptive injunction in her state of Colorado to protect her freedom of speech. She did not want to be forced to design websites celebrating other proposed types of "weddings."
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 (as expected) that the First Amendment protects Ms. Smith from having to express her design skills and create messages that violate her beliefs.
Chelsea and I examine the arguments from the dissenting opinion and from a CNN anchor who interviewed Smith and her attorney from the Alliance Defending Freedom that freedom of speech can continue to be sacrificed at the altar of progressive politics.
