Judge Allows Christian Baker to Sue Colorado for Anti-Religious Hostility

A federal court judge has allowed the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop to sue the state of Colorado for being hostile towards him and his religious beliefs. Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips, who won a Supreme Court case over his refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, sued the state after it launched another case against him for declining to create a cake for a transgender woman. Phillips argued the state was acting in bad faith and hostile toward his religious belief because he was treated differently as the state allows other cake artists to decline requests to create customers cakes that express messages they deem objectionable and would not express to anyone, according to court documents. This “disparate treatment … is sufficient to establish they are pursuing the discrimination charges against Phillips in bad faith,” the documents said.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Jim Campbell said in a press release, “The same agency that the Supreme Court rebuked as hostile to Jack Phillips has remained committed to treating him unequally and forcing him to express messages that violate his religious beliefs.” “We look forward to moving forward with this lawsuit to ensure Jack is not forced to create custom cakes that express messages in conflict with his faith,” he said. ADF is representing Phillips in the case against the state.

Agree with you anon, POTUS must use all available resources with full transparency before the hammer comes down and he declares them agenda driven obstructionists that they are. Why do you all think NP said she didn't want to negotiate in front of the cameras? She didn't want the rest of the nation to see their blatant tactics of obstruction in their true form. When the nation sees what they are and what they have been doing attitude shift will commence quickly imho.
