Bingham Comments on Supreme Court’s Acceptance of Religious Liberties Case

No one can accuse this Supreme court of dodging tough cases involving contentious issues. Indeed, this court sometimes seems to be going out of its way to tackle the tough ones.

Joseph Bingham, a Senior Attorney with Mountain States Legal Foundation, today issued the following statements in response to reports that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear 303 Creative v. Elenis, a potentially-landmark case involving religious liberty and freedom of speech and artistic expression.

Said Bingham:

303 Creative Owner Lorie Smith

“The Tenth Circuit’s decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis flouted long-settled First Amendment law. We had no doubt the Supreme Court would step in and we’re delighted it has done so. We look forward to the Justices addressing the important issues raised by our amicus brief. Our friends at the Alliance Defending Freedom have done great work representing Lorie Smith’s small business, and we have no doubt that Lorie and the First Amendment will be vindicated. We hope Colorado and the Tenth Circuit get the message and cede their position at the vanguard of the progressive assault on our Constitution.”
