The “Respect for Marriage Act” will soon become the law of the land despite\u00a0serious concerns\u00a0over the act\u2019s failure<\/a> to shield people who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman from reprisal. While our elected leaders in Washington may be indifferent to this real threat to individual liberty, all is not lost.\u00a0Americans can count on this Supreme Court. <\/p>\n

Monday morning the court held oral argument in\u00a0303 Creative v. Elenis, a case that asks if the Constitution protects the right to speak one\u2019s truth on the nature of marriage,<\/a> even if doing so is “unpopular” with the progressive elite. <\/p>\n

In her opening remarks, Kristen Waggoner, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom and counsel for Lorie Smith, the owner of 303 Creative, told justices that Smith is not asking the court to create new law, just to enforce it. “No one on any side of any debate should be forced to create a message.” <\/p>\n

JUSTICES ACKNOWLEDGE DIFFICULT BALANCING BETWEEN FREE SPEECH, DISCRIMINATION DURING COMPLICATED ORAL ARGUMENTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Some background: Smith is a Christian website designer in Colorado who wants to expand her business to create custom wedding websites. She creates web designs for anyone, but doesn\u2019t create all messages. More to the point, Smith does not want to create websites for same-sex weddings.\u00a0Before offering wedding website design services, Smith wanted assurances that she could do so without impunity. Concerned about the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), Colorado\u2019s expansive public accommodation law, Smith filed a pre-enforcement lawsuit in federal court. <\/p>\n

CADA bars businesses that are open to the public from discriminating against people based on sexual orientation or announcing an intent to do so. It infamously targeted another Coloradan, Jack Phillips, a Christian baker and owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, a suburb of Denver. After being found in violation of CADA for refusing to create a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding, Phillips challenged the constitutionality of CADA in federal court. The Supreme Court\u00a0ruled<\/a>\u00a0in Phillips\u2019s favor back in 2018, based on the overwhelming hostility of the state\u2019s civil-rights commission toward his religious beliefs. The court did not reach the issue now squarely before it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the Supreme Court created\u00a0a constitutional right to same-sex marriage back in 2015, Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the court\u2019s majority, stressed that “the First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.” <\/p>\n

A recent\u00a0amendment\u00a0to the “Respect for Marriage Act” uses similar language: “Diverse beliefs about the role of gender in marriage are held by reasonable and sincere people based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises. Therefore, Congress affirms that such people and their diverse beliefs are due proper respect.” <\/p>\n

Surely “proper” protection and respect includes the legal shield of the First Amendment\u2019s free speech guarantee for people and organizations who do not want to use their creative talents to promote anything at odds with their sincere belief in traditional marriage as between a man and a woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Biden administration \u2013 at the ready to\u00a0rubber stamp\u00a0the Respect for Marriage Act \u2013\u00a0has sided\u00a0with the state of Colorado in\u00a0303 Creative. Deputy Solicitor General Brian Fletcher described compelling Smith\u2019s company to provide website services for\u00a0same-sex weddings would only impose an “incidental” burden on Smith\u2019s free-speech rights. Justice Brett Kavanaugh seemed unpersuaded. <\/p>\n

Although Smith raised claims under the First Amendment\u2019s free exercise clause, the Court has limited its review to Smith\u2019s free speech claims. Becket Law, the country\u2019s leading religious freedom law firm, urges the court not to ignore the religious nature of Smith\u2019s objection. Its\u00a0amicus\u00a0brief\u00a0argues\u00a0that the history and tradition of the First Amendment demand that religious speech like Smith\u2019s receive particular protection. <\/p>\n

“Cultural winds may shift, but the compelled speech doctrine may not,” said Waggoner powerfully on rebuttal. If CADA is allowed to be used as a cudgel against Coloradans with traditional religious views on marriage, there is little preventing the federal government from doing the same with the Respect for Marriage Act. A clear victory for Smith and 303 Creative will prevent the misuse of these laws to impose ideological conformity. And it will\u00a0guarantee the “proper protection” promised by the Constitution. <\/p>\n
