Gorsuch Grills Lawyer Over Whether Colorado Baker Had To Go Through ‘Reeducation Program’
Daily Caller ^ | 5 Dec, 2022 | BRIANNA LYMAN

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Monday whether Colorado baker Jack Phillips was forced to undergo “reeducation” after refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

Gorsuch’s question came during oral arguments in the case of 303 Creative v. Elenis. Lorie Smith, who owns 303 Creative and provides graphic and web design services, sued the state in 2016 because she did not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, arguing the law violated her First Amendment rights.

The case is similar to that of a 2018 case involving baker Jack Phillips, also from Colorado, who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. The Supreme Court ruled that Phillips was not given a fair hearing before the state Civil Rights Commission due to anti-religious bias. The court did not, however, overturn Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws or answer the question of whether Phillips had the right to discriminate against LGBT couples.

Gorsuch invoked the case Monday while questioning Colorado Solicitor General Eric Olson.

“Mr. Phillips did go through a reeducation program pursuant to Colorado law, did he not?” Gorsuch asked.

“He went through a process that ensured he was familiar with—” Olson began to say before Gorsuch interjected.

“It was a reeducation program, right?” the justice said.

“It was not a reeducation program,” Olson responded.

“What do you call it?” Gorsuch asked.

Will they show up at Gorsuch’s house, do you think?

A bunch of fags, trans, lesbos and the FBI will show up. (Excuse me for being redundant in explicitly naming the FBI.)

Marriage is a sacrament. Homosexuality is a sin.

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...
 

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
