White House Reveals Twisted View of Constitution<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u00a0wrote earlier<\/a> about Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch nailed the Colorado Solicitor General for Jack Phillips, the Masterpiece Cakemaker, being forced to undergo \u201cre-education\u201d after refusing to create a custom cake celebrating same-sex marriage because it violated his religious convictions.<\/p>\n

Gorsuch made those comments in another case involving a\u00a0Christian website designer Lorie Smith<\/a>. Colorado claims that her website design business qualifies as a \u201cpublic accommodation\u201d so therefore she cannot turn down a request to make a personalized website design advertising a same-sex wedding because it violates her religious beliefs, that she can be compelled to make the website. That amounts to the government\u2019s compelling speech since that\u2019s an expressive message that the designer\u00a0is creating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Phillips had to go through a reeducation program, did he not?\u201d Gorsuch asked Colorado solicitor general Eric Olson. He retorted that it was actually training to educate him about Colorado law.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome would call that a reeducation program,\u201d Gorsuch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly disagree,\u201d the defense attorney replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t religious belief a protected characteristic?\u201d Gorsuch asked, to which Olson conceded, \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillip\u2019s punishment from the Colorado commission also included a requirement that he submit quarterly reports on his company\u2019s compliance progress.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Kristin Waggoner, the Alliance Defending Freedom attorney representing Christian website designer Lorie Smith, noted that because of Colorado\u2019s \u201caggressive enforcement,\u201d her client\u2019s \u201cspeech has been chilled for six years.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The White House doesn\u2019t have a problem with the government\u2019s compelling speech, as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained, they think it\u2019s just fine to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n
