Justice Gorsuch Leaves CO Solicitor General Stammering During Oral Arguments on Religious Liberty

 On Monday, the Justices heard oral arguments in a case centering on a web designer who has religious objections to making websites for same-sex couples. During oral argument, the conservative justices seemed to lean toward siding with Lorie Smith, who has asserted that it violates her religious beliefs to be forced to make websites for gay marriages

Justice Neil Gorsuch:

  • While asking the solicitor general about Jack Phillips' case, he managed to perfectly expose the dystopian nature of Colorado's laws
  • Colorado has created a system where business owners can discriminate against religious people but religious people aren't allowed to observe their own beliefs in their everyday lives
  • The arbitrary distinction of "status" is simply a cheap excuse to legalize ideological hypocrisy
