Supreme Court’s Cowardice Allows Colorado To Keep Persecuting Christians

Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker, has been harassed for 11 years by LGBT activists and government officials because he is a Christian.

It was 2012 when Phillips was first hauled before his state’s speech tribunal for telling a gay couple he’d happily sell them anything in his shop but he couldn’t create a custom wedding cake celebrating sexual activities that his religion says are wrong. Last Thursday, Colorado’s Court of Appeals ruled He must make a transgender celebration dessert or face legal consequences that go beyond the 11-years of age Legal and social harassment he’s already endured — and counting.

The U.S. Constitution clearly protects freedom of speech as well as freedom of Christian worship. The Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment is valid beyond Congress and is applicable to all state governments. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.”

U.S. governments cannot prohibit free expression of religion or freedom of speech. On both these counts, Phillips’ rights are clear and ought to be secured by courts.

However, Phillips’ natural human rights were systematically violated by the U.S. Supreme Court and the whole machinery of Colorado courts.

So Phillips has been made an example by the rapacious LGBT lobby whose end goals are erasing Americans’ free speech and religious exercise rights as well as inserting government meddling into every personal relationship, all marks of totalitarianism.

While allowing this anti-freedom and unconstitutional regime to thrive, the Supreme Court tried to control it by weakening and ineffectually preventing it from becoming a reality. The court’s bench, however, has been significantly altered since 2018. And another case is pending before the court that allows it the opportunity to right its 2018 refusal to clearly back free speech and freedom of religious exercise in the United States, in line with the clear wording of the nation’s supreme law, the U.S. Constitution.

It is a case of 303 Creative V. ElenisAnother Coloradan, a Coloradan woman, has been accused of being a traitor to her faith. This case concerns a Christian website designer for weddings. In oral arguments, Lorie Smith’s legal harassers asserted that ancient Christian beliefs about sex and marriage — which are shared by the world’s other largest and oldest faiths, including Islam and Judaism — are tantamount to racism.

In its rebuke of Colorado’s treatment of Phillips, the 2018 Supreme Court treated the same line of
