The Supreme Court has taken a case from a Colorado web designer who doesn't want to create wedding sites for same-sex weddings, claiming anti-discrimination laws would violate her First Amendment rights.
The authority of law rests on the side of the Supreme Court.
According to court documents, the case centers on a Colorado web designer who says she wants to create content consistent with her faith.
Her legal team says the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act would prevent her from posting a statement on her website about only creating content consistent with her religious beliefs.
Smith's lawyers argue that the Colorado law violates her rights to free speech and exercise.
The case will be heard by the Supreme Court.
Smith's claims were dismissed because Colorado has an interest in protecting its citizens from discrimination. The case could offer more clarification on the Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling, which dealt with the same anti-discrimination law. The baker who refused to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples was treated unfairly by Colorado's civil rights commission because they were hostile to religion, the Supreme Court ruled. The Supreme Court stopped short of ruling on his claim based on free speech. The court has become more conservative since the confirmations of Justices Amy ConeyBarrett andBrett Kavanaugh.
